      Don’t disassemble peoples cars then. Not hard to understand. They might not be able to buy replacement parts either. And even if, you don’t get to steal from others.

      I always get the impression people making these types of ineffectual statements are thieves. After all if you are a thief you wouldn’t want to get shot and you would welcome a place where you can steal at will.

      I rather take their hands. At least one hand, preferably in public, on international television for the world to see what is real justice. Eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth.

        That’s how you end up being a country with one of the highest incarceration rates.

        Making sure people have good lives, good jobs, good education, and are financially stable is how you prevent crime from happening in the first place.

        And rehabilitation will always be more effective at dealing with recidivism than outright punishment, punishment that invariably treats people as animals, fucks up their ability to socialize and trust others, etc.

          What the hell is a person being robbed supposed to do about that in the moment?

            How you handle a crime in the moment is a different topic than what I was getting at. I’m talking about the structural problems that create crime and how they can be fixed.

          Sorry, no authority needs to worry about how people handle their lives until they commit a crime. I don’t need an authoritative figure to make sure I’m living a good life. That’s MY responsibility, as an adult, not anyone else’s.

            So if a country’s population is impoverished, lacking education, safe and sufficient food/water/housing, then it is none of the responsibility of its leaders? That is a ridiculous position.

        It’s not controversial, it’s misleading. Clarify that we’re saying “shoot with a BB gun” and it’ll be a lot clearer.
