- steve76 5y agoI really don't think shoplifters wake up early. Please don't abandon basic human rights, recognized since the 17th century, just because you can't wake up early. Somehow, people today think being a victim is okay, even worthy of merit. They also think laws, self-control, idealism, action, and self-determination are fake and worthy of contempt. Barbarity and animalism won the popularity contest over humanitarian virtue and effortless paradise. In their wake is a toxic wasteland. Here's an idea. Punish the victims. It's not okay for you to be a victim. No. You don't get it. It's NOT okay for YOU to be a victim. You are sentenced as a nuisance business. The crime goes away. The surrounding property values go up. Or your overseas principle investors wake up to the news that their fingerprints are on the rifle that shot Xi Jing Ping, Putin, African warlords, landless pirates, narco leaders. Take your pick. One problem with an evil lawless world is there's no shortage of enemies to set up petty manipulative profiteers.
