> but most people speed on purpose, jay walk on purpose, run stop signs… on purpose. These crimes actually put people’s lives at risk and steals literal time from people’s lives! That’s surely worse than stealing lumps of metal, glass and plastic that can be easily repurchased at nearby stores throughout the world?
You'd rather have someone steal your phone than jaywalk in front of you and force you to slow down?
- withinboredom 4y agoReplacing my phone with a police report is basically free and minimal hassle. Restoring from a backup is painless. But putting the life of myself, my passengers, and the idiot walking in front of my moving vehicle at risk?? Do people actually value a replaceable object more than lives that can never be replaced?? Is that a thing?

But someone has to pay for it. > Do people actually value a replaceable object more than lives that can never be replaced?? No. This is why we all agree that murder and manslaughter are worse crimes than phone theft. But jaywalking is not murder or manslaughter.
- withinboredom 4y agoIt’s the equivalent of pointing a loaded gun at someone. There’s a threat that it’s going to be a bad day for everyone.
