That’s pretty fucked up. I’ll take a dozen thieves over a person willing to destroy someone’s life over a stolen bauble.

- anovikov 2y agoBut those thefts will quickly stop once people realise that you do it once - and you are out. That's the whole goal. Law enforcement is now toothless because just shooting hundreds of thousands per year is politically a no-no, and imprisoning them for any meaningful terms is too expensive. People complaining on "catch and release" don't get it - there's simply not yet a way to do much else. Saw those youtube videos where a dude sells stolen shit in the street and when confronted by a reporter, asks blatantly - "so... are they going to jail us... ALL?". And he has a point. It's not possible. That's why they are free doing it. For now.
