    Are you defending this?

    We can't even agree that putting up these signs is an absurd manifestation of absurd policies?

    Not defending anything, just pointing out that the Xweet wasn't accurate.

    Do you agree that both the policy and the signs are wrong?

    I am not sure what changing minor theft to misdemeanor means in terms of a difference. It isn't something I have the time to further investigate. I think the signs are strange and not a good idea.

    It means - and I have spoken to people who have been affected by this - that the police basically doesn't bother. It basically means that people have to fear absolutely zero consequences if they steal something, as long as it is not worth more than $ 950.

    Do you think that it is a good idea to have a society where people know they can just steal things worth $ 900, without any repercussion whatsoever?

    I genuinely do not understand what ideological mindset is behind driving such policies. How do those who make these policies rationalize them to themselves?

    I am glad we at least agree that actively PROMOTING that policy is a bad idea.

    I am trying to find common ground here.

    Crime is hitting outside LA and it’s more violent because the criminals have been given the full green light by the woke people who feel sympathy for them. You know these people were wronged by society blah blah so it’s ok for them to kill rich elderly women for their expensive purse and watch

    Finding common ground with leftists is more elusive than finding the golden goose that shiits the golden brick. Lol

    The fact that there is a long ass line of people waiting to buy that house shows you how California become what it is now.

    Not sure why. My guess would be with limited resources low level thievery is the area they chose to cut back on. It's odd to advertise that.

    Also noticed that the media is controlled by the woke mindset

    you never hear them describe what these men look like
    Because ‘it’s racist’

    @AroundTheWorld
    They also tip toe around Muslim culture

    can’t offend those people too

    it’s the same mentality where Disney edits any LGBT content for Muslim countries but forces western countries to have it or else its ’hatred’

    if China doesn’t like black people they erase them from the posters. It’s insane this hypocrisy

    you know China is horrible but what is the governor of California doing there ?


    the woke are always against ‘the rich’

    In California
    The politicians fear offending the woke people than the actual criminals

    my favorite California Wokeness protest is protesters protesting for Homeless people to stay homeless and live on the streets

    Maybe the company should hire security guards? If they are so concerned about robbery.

    I don't like the $950 threshold, but that wouldn't be a national agenda...

    California is doing fine as a state, some years it has a surplus some a deficit, but it puts it's people first, and that is what a government is supposed to do, PEOPLE over CORPORATE interests.

    Newsome will make a FINE President some day......he is a rising star, likeable, wicked smart, and very electable.
