Rep. Omar blames crime spike on...the police

@89th said in Rep. Omar blames crime spike on...the police:
I love how the 2 reasons for an increase in crime.... do not include the criminals.
It shouldn't. Omar's a moron but so is anyone who thinks crime increases are the result of X number of bad people waking up one morning and deciding to do some crime instead of going to work. Crime is never crime per se; it's always downstream of social forces.

That argument's way too complex for national politics.

There are a lot of people in this world who have crime as a full time job.

I thought relentless shaming was a tool we use to prevent bad people from doing bad things. Maybe I was only thinking of the vaccination conversations.

No, you're right, it applies there, too. How's that working out, by the way?

I am sure shame plays a large role in preventing crime. In some cultures or families more than others.
Education is extremely important.

As Aqua said, downstream of social and economic forces. It can be one’s best option. When I graduated puter school there were no jobs. None. So I went back to trafficking for a few months. It got me through until something opened up and I dropped it like a hot rock.

Sure does. To a point. And provided society's working as it should in about a dozen ways that influence crime rates.
Please love yourself.

Back when you graduated puter school I rather doubt there were any puters.
I was only joking

So, shame is not a non-factor, and in a politician's messaging, it's not undue to include some of that, against the criminals.

Next time you get held up, give shame-as-strategy a try and let me know how it turns out.
