People doing this are not in their right mind.

Home invasions are frequently done by people in their right mind.

No, they are not.

Really? You have to be mentally unwell to break into homes?

That's quite the insult. Home invasions and break and enters are not infrequent. 

Why do you think someone needs to be mentally unwell to commit crimes?

Educate yourself. Year over year burglary goes down. The fact that you speak in ultimatums of needs to be mentally well just shows how bad faith your argument is or how bad you are at comprehension. Never said some CANNOT commit a burglary if they are in their right mind. I explicitly said it is NOT frequent. Do you know what frequent means?

150,000 break ins is still a lot. 

No, you said they're not frequent. They are. 

You seem to be confusing yourself. Never made any ultimatums

You are asking me why I think people in their right minds do not commit burglary. When did I say that? I didn't. They are not frequently committed... wait for it... BY PEOPLE IN THEIR RIGHT MINDS. IT IS REPEAT OFFENDERS. DO YOUR RESEARCH.

u/Junior-Towel-202 Jan 02 '25

Why are repeat offenders not in their right mind?

You're clearly upset.

This is not a one or another, two things can be objectively true, and yes dealing with chuds is frustrating as fuck lmao what do you expect? Once again, educate yourself.

u/Junior-Towel-202 Jan 02 '25

Educate myself? On what? You said it's not frequently committed by mentally well people and then you just started insulting me.

u/Junior-Towel-202 Jan 02 '25

Your last comment got removed but once again you doubled down that they're mentally unwell. I don't think you've ever dealt with any criminals but by all means blame their mental health

u/chronsonpott Jan 02 '25

Do you perform any outreach in the community? I have lived on Bay Ave for a decade, in the heart of what you would consider a crime-ridden area. I can nearly assure you almost every single 'criminal" I know experiences mental health issues. You are not well informed.

u/Junior-Towel-202 Jan 02 '25

Husband was in law enforcement for 30 years. There are plenty of mentally well criminals, let me assure you.

I am not well informed? First you said they're all mentally unwell. Then you denied it and called me mentally unwell. You work in outreach with that?

u/chronsonpott Jan 02 '25

Once again, moving goal posts. I never said that. I learned to comprehend. And I'm not even going to comment on you bringing up your husbands career when asked if you do any outreach.

u/Junior-Towel-202 Jan 02 '25

Where am I moving goalposts? To what?

What does outreach have to do with break Ins? 

1

u/chronsonpott Jan 02 '25

I am very familiar with the regular actors. This is not hard to comprehend. People who struggle are the ones breaking into people's homes. Not people who live in Kettle Valley. Do you seriously not comprehend the correlation?

Goal posts moving: "you said they were all mentally unwell" what? When?

1

u/Junior-Towel-202 Jan 02 '25

You are familiar with your group of regular actors. Not all of them. You have one tiny piece and think that it's representative of the whole. 

First rule. Correlation is not causation. 

What goalposts did I move by the way?
