I think your sense of reasonable argument has gone out the window, so I'm not likely to spend much more time answering here. I support helping people out of poverty. However, it will take decades. In the meantime, no more prosecuting of minor crimes, huh? That's sure to send some great signals to people who might be tempted to commit crimes. And to the people who obey laws. How about people who shoplift try not shoplifting, to help avoid making their families poorer by staying out of prison for those and other crimes? Who knows whether you understand this idea. It seems that you rather sympathize with someone who commits crime rather than the 100x people in the same community who obey the laws and have to pay to clean up after that crime. And you occupy some reverse-logic-world where people committing crimes are being treated to some perverse injustice by being caught for those crimes. It's an insult to the law-abiding poor person who pays in full for their purchases that you seem to care more about the shoplifter. That you're so eager to let the person jumping the turnstile not be punished, while the elderly pensioner scrimps and saves to pay her subway fare dutifully. Watch out for the backlash against what you think your policies are doing. And btw I don't consume propaganda or get swayed by messaging. I don't believe what people say, of either side. I believe what they do.
