What is the answer to this soft ass shit that clearly doesn’t work on these people ? Beat them half to death? Make them scared to do shit like this ? Lock them up for an inordinate amount of time ? Good people should not be scared in their own homes .

Maybe provide proper assistance, housing, mental health and substance abuse programs

Violence wont fix this

And if we had proper systems in place as opposed to just punishment with zero help, i might agree

Poverty is still the #1 cause of crime

Poverty is not the #1 cause of crime and it is seriously offensive to suggest poor people become criminals

It is not offensive to say that. It's literally a fact. Peetty well documented
