The post in question did not do what you are accusing them of. They made a rhetorical statement about the word "criminal" that they even themselves qualify as "quibbling", and go on to demonstrate the usefulness of the quibble as the context for a relevant point. On the other hand, you are broadly accusing those who disagree with you as stupid and insane. I think SF is a mess. I don't have insight into how "bad areas" become that way or how best to systemically address them, but I do feel relatively confident in blaming the laws and/or enforcement for a failure to do what is in the system's power to keep people safe from each other and from themselves (to a reasonable extent - I don't expect precognition or magical rehabilitation capabilities). It makes me angry. However, unlike apparently everybody else, I don't consider myself educated on the topic beyond that. In this instance, I am trying to do my tiny part in defending the conversation from the tidal wave of fallacies that come with politically charged and emotional topics.
