Oh they resisted eh? Exactly how? I'm not seeing much of anything in this article, besides getting a security camera reactivated so that they can see a video of who stole their stuff, which will never be followed up on anyways.
I want to feel sorry for them, but I cannot forget that this is exactly what they asked for. In all probability, the actual people in this building they featured, that is. They got the state to abolish bail for people arrested for these "low-value property crimes". They elected DAs who promised to not prosecute them at all. They are probably even now campaigning to "abolish the police" entirely. In case anyone was wondering, they've also published articles declaring that yes they really do want to literally abolish the police and it is not at all a euphemism for some kind of reform. What they're seeing now is exactly what they asked for. Now they want to whine about their packages getting stolen? Too bad, wake me when the start advocating for actual enforcement against brazen theft.

- ufmace 6y agoThe story certainly didn't mention any attempt by any of them to advocate or help campaign for increased enforcement, prosecution, and restoring bail requirements for such crimes. When nearly all visible agitation is in favor of zero enforcement or consequences against the crimes they're complaining about being the victim of, it's kind of counterproductive to not push back.
