The idea that if it's not violence it's not really a crime is one of the dumbest parts of our society degenerating these last couple decades.

And yet the people pushing for this won't legalize
, an act which by itself hurts no one and increases the overall level of happiness in the world.

Yes, the people clearing out entire shelves of product into a duffel bag several times per day had nothing to do with it. It was just bad management.

Prop 47 wasn't as bad as people think. California had a very low felony cutoff and even the current $950 is lower than law-and-order states like Texas. The problem is that the state stopped giving a frick about misdemeanor theft altogether. Technically it's still punishable by up to six months in prison but it's impossible to lock anybody up because of other anti-incarceration laws that were passed. I think the root problem is that the prison system is expensive and the state doesn't want to pay for it, so they're trying to shrink it under the guise of woke ideology.

If you're going to respond to a comment, you should try engaging with something it says instead of bringing up an entirely different issue.

It's all so dumb because we don't need any legal changes to quell the problem. What we need is enforcement.
Oh, you say that the shoplifters are carefully committing misdemeanors? Last I checked, misdemeanors can merit sentences up to a year, yet frickall happens, of course.

Well you see, PoC were disproportionaly convicted of shoplifting which suggests Police were being racist in their policing.
That is the ONLY explanation. Therefore if we make Police discriminate against PoC less then shoplifting and biased convictions will reduce.
No, it doesn't have to make sense and to question is racist.
