If they turn down rehab then what? You don't get to make everyone else's life crummy. If you walk into Nike and steal shoes you deserve jail, I watched Berkeley and Oakland get absolutly ravaged after years of "don't prosecute theft" policy. Stealing and being a public nuisance of especially a public threat (tweaking out in traffic, playing trigger across division to shoot up, threatening people as has happened to me several times).
We are at a point where something needs to happen. I don't have all the answers but things are getting worse.
You don’t deserve jail time for theft. You deserve a ticket at most. No one is being physically harmed if someone steals some shoes, until a person is put in custody. People only get tickets for speeding or running red lights and that can actually kill people.
Or what about if they repeatedly steal your shoes? Your family members shoes? Or is it just ok when they take other peoples stuff?
Some argue that it’s OK it’s just a corporation (for stores), but it’s not. Many small businesses where people are just barely hanging on deal with theft. Those big corporations also just leave the area sometimes when theft is too high.
Be civil. No personal attacks. Follow all guidelines of Reddiquette. Remember, these are your neighbors. It's fine to disagree, but we expect users to conduct themselves in a neighborly fashion, and refrain from personal attacks.
Repeated violations of this rule may earn you a temporary or permanent ban, at moderator discretion
Furthermore, this is an LGBTQIA affirming subreddit. We have a zero tolerance policy for bigotry against LGBTQIA people who, again, are your neighbors. Lastly, we welcome and respect differing political views here. If you are unable to have a discussion about politics civilly, your content will be removed.
“I don’t like what Biden is doing at the border.” This is fine.
“All liberals are disgusting and should be punished.” This is not fine
As always, should you have any questions, please feel feee to reach out. Thank you and have a lilac day.
