> Prosecution is too late to intervene. The crime has already occurred. Wrong. A small number of people commit most crimes. They have plenty of crimes to commit in the future if able. > The people committing property crime in SF (note that that's the actual issue, violent crime is low despite this freak incident) are not thinking rationally about the consequences or lack thereof either. Wrong at multiple levels. Violent crime rates are high for the demographics, among other things. Property crime like smash and grabs, home invasions, catalytic converter thefts are conducted by professional crime rings with sophisticated operations.
