He actually has some valid points that are poorly expressed. Shoplifting has been decriminalized in several city's. CVS has closed stores in San Francisco because of extremely high theft. And there have been mobs invade stores within the last month. Nordstrom's in Walnut Creek was the last one.
When a house I was working on was robbed I was informed that burglaries weren't prosecuted in that city.
The police in the city I live in won't respond to a car break in. I know this because my truck has been robbed 3 times, the local PD won't respond. They do have a website where I get to describe what happened and what I lost. After filling it out I can print it out so there is a record of the crime and my loss.
It's easy to say these are nothing but petty crimes and have no real effect on life. But these petty crimes have cost me around $15k over the last five years. That's out of pocket cost at the time, it doesn't include what I've had to spend securing my property, or the increased cost of insurance.
This stuff is real, and there is a cost. The question becomes, how far do we allow it to go? How much crime is acceptable?
