> left leaning folks Are you for real? That is far left thinking, where reason was pushed out by ideology. Not left leaning folks. Its absolutely moronic not going after crime, all it is doing is incentivize people who break it. The stories of current SF sounds like that meme of a dog sipping a tea in a house on fire saying 'this is fine'.

Left leaning folks will generally not support shoplifting/theft, however many will often qualify with "oh, but at least it's a large corporation, it's not right but they will survive", which is what I think the parent was referring to.

  Man, two can play this game. >> Right leaning folks will generally not support murder, but will often support killing via 'Right to stand our ground laws'. > Left leaning folks will generally not support shoplifting/theft Seriously have you ever talked to anyone sane who is for shoplifting/theft, left or right, up or down? Its a poor strawman argument. Extremes are not representations, they are minority/extreme views.

So, CA has massive and growing wealth inequality that has resisted carceral solutions for over three decades. The prisons are already overflowing, and federal courts have ordered the state to reduce its prison population which requires "soft on crime" policies like this. There's literally no legal alternative except to go on a prison-building spree. Glad you found a stimulating meme reference point though.

  > except to go on a prison-building spree Okay, let's do that instead. I'd way prefer to have more prisons than for theft to be legal.

  Well current state of affairs is clearly not working, and you propose to continue doing it? That's the definition of madness. If you fall into swamp, not moving will buy you time, but will still lead to drowning.
