We talked about different kind of crimes.
For example, the Walgreen robbing incident is a non-violent crime because nobody confronted the thieves.
I have no idea if breaking car window is considered a violent crime.
- NeverFade 5y agoShoplifting to that extent - pouring the contents of several shelves into a garbage bag and taking off - threatens the sustainability of businesses. All these crimes have victims.
- josephcsible 5y agoA crime can be non-violent without also being victimless.
- NeverFade 5y agoTrue, but a person barging into a business with their bike, emptying several shelves into a garbage bag, then barging out, forcefully shoving everyone out of their way - that crosses into a borderline violent crime. I would feel very unsafe if I was at the Wallgreens when that happened. The people in the video certainly felt unsafe as well.
- smnrchrds 5y agoYeah. Like all white collar crimes. Madoff had many victims, but the fraud was nevertheless a non-violent crime.
- creamytaco 5y agoBesides, acts like this normalize moral and ethical rot. Do you want your kids to witness this behavior week in / week out? What do you think this does to their development? I took my family out of that cesspit years ago, when my little girl starting asking uncomfortable questions stemming from witnessing this sort of behavior.
- justshowpost 5y agoBreaking car window is clearly nonviolent property crime presumed no one gets hurt. > because nobody confronted the thieves Not really because of this, but rather because there was no assault to addition to the property crime. Its not absolutely impossible for that robber with bicycle from the Walgreen's video to repent when guard lazily tried to stop him.
