Rob_Zepp Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 9 minutes ago, Duodenum said: Being tough on crime doesn't reduce crime. Too simplistic. Tough on petty crime driven by poor choices is a false approach as you point out but being soft on hard-core criminal activity is not working. Hard-core crime is typically carried out by repetitive offenders and people who have made choices to NOT be part of a civil society. Stealing a couple of swag bags from an overpaid NBA athlete (try hockey, a real sport) should not lead to anything more than a "thanks for teaching the idiot to lock their car" slap on the wrist. However, Canada is increasingly showing a trend many countries have fallen into in treating the most serious crimes as somehow not requiring society's strongest condemnation including the ultimate penalty should you choose to end another's innocent life. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bure_Pavel Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 (edited) He wasn't robbed, it was a simple case of theft due to stupidity. Not locking the doors of your G Wagon (just a guess) while near East Hastings with lots of valuables inside .

Can you show me an example. I'm not up to date of new policies on severe crimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tre Mac Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 This would never happen in LA or his hometown of North Babylon New York right? Right?? FFS you can leave valuables in a bag in a care home in Beverly Hills and it'll likely get stolen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That this is Canada, a socialist haven therefore we don't have any problems. At least that's what I took when he said he didn't know that "Canada has stuff going on". Many of these athletes live in a bubble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can crap wherever you want, steal stuff, harass people for money and smokes. People feel sorry for you. It doesn’t get cold. If I ever come off the rails that’s where I’m going. When it comes to crapping, nothing beats San Francisco, it’s fecal capital of North America. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never get that feeling while in another city. Course, I'm poor (and look it) and ugly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many just walk along the road trying to open every car door until it they find one unlocked. Heck, once I'm sitting in the car and someone still opened the door.

Honestly, seriously think about it. Being a millionaire would be complete freedom. Second to that would be the freedom to just crap on the sidewalk. If I don’t become a multimillionaire within the next 5 years, I’m seriously considering just making a 180. Pitch a tent, just chill. Crap on the sidewalk. Cause struggling in the middle of those 2 extremes sucks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try crapping on sidewalks on the East Coast in Winter when they're covered in a foot of snow....at least out here the rains will wash away your deposits.

Lol...reminds me of my University days...On my Finals exam (Philosophy) it consisted of writing an essay based on a lengthy sad story ending with the question 'why?'. A friend of mine just wrote 'Why not?' and received a grade of 100% on the test! TRUE STORY! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bishopshodan Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Pro tip for this Pro. Regardless of city, don't leave expensive stuff exposed in your expensive car. And why are you doing Air B&B? get yourself a nice suite in a flash hotel... you got the dough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
