It's ideology fueled by fabricated science. Things like drug and petty crime decriminalization have just completely failed at achieving their goals and these policies were backed by studies that have consistently failed to replicate. The people behind these things are serious hard core ideologues. Remember Chesa Boudin? His parents were literal communist terrorists that murdered a cop while robbing a bank (when I say this I'm not misusing the term communist like many Americans do). How does someone like that become a DA?

> How does someone like that become a DA? Presumably by going to law school, doing work in the DA's office, and eventually campaigning for election. His track record as DA notwithstanding, I think it should be obvious that the crimes of the parents are not the crimes of the child, and I think it's kinda funny that you'd make that claim in a thread about policing actual crime.

  > that the crimes of the parents are not the crimes of the child Yeah, this is some more idealistic nonsense. Children should obviously not be criminally persecuted for being the child of evil people but being the child of and raised by terrorists (and other evil people) should automatically disqualify you from certain jobs. Given Chesa Boudin's actual track record and the fact he was recalled I think history proves my point. > I think it's kinda funny that you'd make that claim in a thread about policing actual crime. Why do you think it's funny? Chesa Boudin is directly responsible for the lack of policing due to his refusal to enforce the law as DA. Do you not know why he was recalled?

      You think that the children of dictators, mass murderers and terrorists should be allowed to be politicians? Here's a question for you, would you vote for the child of a KKK member?

    > Why do you think it's funny? Because we're talking about policing actual crime and you're talking about punishing people who haven't committed any crime at all. > Given Chesa Boudin's actual track record and the fact he was recalled I think history proves my point. I don't think you can make the "apple doesn't fall far from the tree" argument when the tree is "bank robber" and the apple is "made questionable policy decisions as DA."
