This is all a fun mob justice idea. But you know who isn’t on the no-fly list? Murderers. Rapists. Jan. 6 coup participants. Drunk drivers who killed people. Michael Flynn. Bernie Madoff (dead, I know). Deadbeat dads. The list goes on.

How out of touch do you have to be to find that a crappy interior 🙄

Nuff said.

More than 20 percent of Angelenos live below the poverty line in one of the most expensive cities in the world. [...] The growing poverty rate and the quickly skyrocketing costs of well, everything, housing in particular, are immediately evident by the exploding unhomed population in LA.

“But this strikes me more as desperate, wholesale looting than property crime”

Your excusing criminal behavior so casually identifies you as a seriously dysfunctional person. As you mentioned in passing, some of those packages contained life-critical medication.

So... we’re trying to normalize criminals now? This is immature and you need to rethink this take.

Embarrassing transition and conclusion to this article. I say this as a pinko commie with very, very lefty politics, particularly when it comes to inequality and taxation. This makes the rest of us on the left look silly.

Holy shit that is an awful take. Like absolute trash-tier.

If they were stealing food and blankets, I’d have a little sympathy.

Yea, It would be a bit different if things like food and hygiene supplies were stolen. At least with that, you can look at it as desperation, everyone needs those to live and be healthy. But material goods to resell? nah most of those people will sell it just to then turn around to buy drugs or other stupid stuff not…

If you champion affordable housing but only in places acceptable to affluent people (aka NIMBY), you don’t get any affordable housing that helps anything. This isn’t unique to CA, just the most extreme example(s), but it’s…

Amen, what a joke.

This weird apologist take is just bad. These people are thieves, stealing things from OTHER people who legitimately bought something despite the poor economy.

This is a very weird take.

Criminals doing criminal things.  What else is new?

Yeah I was waiting for the sarcastic punchline on this, and it never came. 

Yeah, my sympathies are with the people who paid (a lot—they’re not cheap) for epi pens to save their lives and didn’t get them, not with the vandals and thieves that _really_ need a hit of meth and trashed the life-saving pens. They’re not stealing food and blankets to care for their families, they’re just stealing…

I should’ve stopped reading the first time Erin offered excuses for criminal behavior. But I kept reading and found more of it.

This weird apologist take is just bad. These people are thieves, stealing things from OTHER people who legitimately bought something despite the poor economy. This isn’t a stick-it-to-bezos thing. This is impacting folks like you and me who work to pay their bills, then get their hard-earned shit stolen by someone who…
