      Don't you realize that the cops that enforce these laws and the prosecutors prosecuting these cases are only enforcing these laws on people of color and poor people? They aren't enforcing them on any wealthy White person. In an ideal world, all people would be prosecuted equally. But unfortunately in America, justice isn't blind or color blind.

    Like the famous Mike Tyson quote, "Everyone has a plan till they get punched in the face." Ideas sound great on paper, but when it hits reality, they quickly find that life doesn't work that way. Most of all, all these ideas sound great because they're based on the belief that people are inherently good, that there's no such thing as evil. Just give people money, lift out of poverty and crime will stop. So many job openings, but so many would rather take it from others. Don't prosecute theft under $300, so what will people do? Steal $299 worth. We display this from infancy. Parents say no, don't cross this line! So what do we do, get right up to the edge because we can get away with it.

    You can't be lenient on crime. Wrong doing is wrong doing. If doesn't matter if you take $1 or $10,000, it's something people should not do.
    In the West, if they say taking less than $250 is okay then they will take less than $250. In East Asian countries, most people will not do it, because it isn't right. That's the difference between us and them.

    So if you fall back on what Andrew Yang said about these issues that are attributed to poverty, and these progressive cities have been throwing money at this problems as far back as the LBJ administration, why haven’t things gotten better? I think the questions we should be asking are why do certain demographic struggle with poverty more than the others? Lastly, when was the last time we were able to solve a social issue by simply throwing money at the problem?

    Commies gonna commie. Most commies have some kind of tie to some kind of ethnic group, religion, etc., but Marxist and leftist are the most overarching identities that subsume all lower identities (religion, nationality, race, gender, etc.) and redefine them to fit them into the Marxist framework and worldview and justify and rationalize every aspect of it.
    Anarchism and accelerationism are sort of niche subsets of Marxism not familiar to most normies, which are employed in Western countries to deliberately stabilize them and ready them for a Marxist revolution/takeover, but generally they only succeed when they have elite backing from the intellectual class after they penetrate government and ironically private sector entities, etc. (the CEO of Blackrock who controls more assets than most countries in the world is a woke neo-Marxist forcing DEI on every corporation).
    So that sort of explains the anarcho-tyranny aspect and the alliance between the criminal underclass and financial elites and left-wing parties we keep seeing on the far-left who have redefined the Overton Window (having seized the means of information production) to make themselves the center.

    I believe trespassing, disorderly conduct, disturbing the peace, receiving stolen property (I'm assuming that's buying stolen goods off the street.), minor driving offense and minor in possession of alcohol shouldn't be a crime but more of a fine. The rest should stay a crime and punished but the appropriate punishment makes sense also. If the perp steals three times it becomes a crime, add in jail time, etc. Which goes for all the petty crimes on the list.

    If we actually aspired to solve poverty like China did recently, we would have. I think there are great incentives to maintain poverty in the US, and maybe even have more of it, hence why despite having a vanishing middle class, we're basically doing nothing about it. Again, America was founded essentially as a slave nation, and was powered by plantations for a while. You can't say our modern top earners aren't just a bit inspired. It's gotten so bad that Americans are generally very against any sort of redistribution of wealth, all you gotta do is call it socialist, and the conversation ends right then and there.
    Democrat policies fail by design. The left is angry at Democrats, because of their incompetence, but they fail to understand that this incompetence may be built in. If you view our 2 party system as a one sided gear, that is ultimately turning right towards corporatism and privitization, it makes sense. The Dems are there as kind of a pressure relief valve when right wing policies start pissing people off, people vote left and expect a reversal or great change, like universal healthcare, but nothing happens, people get sick of nothing happening, so they end up voting right again cuz they "do something" even if that something is extremely harmful to anyone that isn't in the top % of this country. The Dems policies seem to be failure in of themselves, and right wing policies seem to work, because they are not opposed. Dems tried for true universal healthcare, it was called socialism, and it became essentially gov handouts to healthcare companies. Right wing never have to concede in any form of it's policies to the left/democrats.

    One more comment on this. I live in New Jersey. It wasn't that long ago that the state decided to decriminalize smoking weed. No lawmaker wanted to tackle this issue, because it was seen as controversial at the time. Also, no Republican governor would ever sign off on that. But then NJ put it on the ballot as a question and NJ overwhelmingly voted to legalize marijuana.
    The people decided this, not some rich lawmaker, sitting in their gated community, who smokes all the weed he wants, cuz no police officer is going after the mayor or governor.
    We voted to legalize, because we knew that the law was wrong and it also allowed for racial and stereotype profiling.
    I once lived with a bunch of White people and one time an officer showed up at our house. He was responding to a noise complaint. The cop smelled weed from our porch and he just gave us a warning. He could've arrested all of us and just smelling the weed probably would give him probably cause to force his way in without a warrant. But even if he could't do that, he could've come back the next day with a warrant and bust us all. But he didn't, cuz most of the people living in the house were White. We were also very close to a university, so he probably thought we were all college students.
    Now, if we were all Black, I'm sure we would've all been busted.

    Boston Mayor Wu is in the same boat as Oakland Mayor Thao. Both got elected at the worst time of both cities, just the same all across every major city in the lefty states. The public will always have something to say regardless. People don't realize that before a law can be implemented, it has to be voted for. It really came down to what the city voted for and not the individual who's running.
    Maybe Andrew Yang should try running for Mayor to prove himself and then try out for US president!

    I think there is some historical context missing. From about th 80s, the U. S. was too harsh in its penalties following media panics about crime. Though crime was decreasing, the media pointed to cherry picked cases to enrage the public, so politicians across the country bandwagoned on «tough on crime measures.» Liberals are not just focusing on rehabilitative to be nice or compassionate. These policies were proven to be ineffective, exacerbated repeat offenses, and contributed to causing ruin in entire communities. I haven’t examined the decriminaliztion policies, but I think the knee-jerk view that going back to excessive penalization is unfortunate. This country has extreme problems from neglecting its lower economic classes for decades, and I think it will take sweeping reforms for them to be addressed.
