Why is there such a huge theft problem now? iin

More people are stealing merch from big and small businesses alike , more people are squatting in homes, and more people are stealing vehicles.

There are stores that are locking up their merch in clear cabinets that require an employee to unlock them when they want to buy merchandise. Lots of the stuff that's locked up isn't even necessities to survive. Why are they stealing that?

Whats going in here?

    Well just look at the people who are doing all of the stealing. There is a common thread among them. Much like everything else, these people believe that they are entitled because they deserve reparations. And, they are just a bunch of useless animals.

    If you don't punish crime it won't stop. There's to many of them for the police to arrest them all & on top of that (if it's a blue state) the ones they do arrest they let back out on cashless bail or drop the charges, so the only way you're going to get it to stop is to make it legal to shoot/kill looters, robbers, muggers, car-jackers, thieves & squatters.

    There's a high theft problem all over because people are just TO FUCKING LAZY TO GEE A REAL JOB AND BUY THEIR OWN SHIG. It's easier for them to just steal something and make excuses if they caught with stolen stuff. But I agree these people that hide behind their computers all day and hide are pathetic pinch of crap. Some reason they feel the rules don't apply to them, and everyone of them needs their ass beat do.m

    I like to watch police body cam videos on YouTube (I find it interesting to see how they do their job and handle certain situations), and one thing I've noticed that has been very common in all of the relatively recent ones (like from the last couple of years or so) is that even when people are arrested for committing crimes, often times the courts dismiss the charges or reduce them down to a slap on the wrist. Unsurprisingly, a lot of the people featured in these videos are typically repeat offenders and are featured in more than one video getting arrested.

    When there are little to no consequences for things, people see no reason to stop doing them. People do what works for them.

    They do it because they can get away with it. Why do they get away with it? Because there's so much of it.

    I was standing at a bus stop once and there was a cop helping with traffic. I saw multiple people drive by texting, which is illegal in our state. I asked him, "Why don't the police stop all these people who are texting?"

    and he said "Because unfortunately there's too many of them, so it's impossible to control it."

    The criminals know this too. When you get 10 people in a smash-and-grab style robbery, the police aren't going to do anything about it because it's too many people to catch. None of them will rat on the others either. So it's useless. And the crims win.

    Some states and big cities have gotten really soft on crime and see criminals as unfortunate ppl. They want to take the punishment out and only focus on rehabilitation. I believe in both I think if you break the law there should be a punishment like jail time or abit of labor to pay the community back.
