Comment on Canada to ban the Flipper Zero to stop surge in car thefts

  I’m confused, do you think that systemic issues aren’t a major factor in all crime, especially theft?

    I do think its a factor, i dont think the solution is just letting car theives walk away because they are in a tough spot.

      I didn’t see the comments that said we should let car thieves walk away

        This person who is insisting we punish low level criminals because they all will turn into high level criminals needs to stop playing GTA, pay a bill or two in life, and realize that poverty creates desperation, and inf act, locking up “low level” criminals actually exposes them to the more hardened ones who have turned it into a lifestyle.

        If you don’t get thrown in a cage with dangerous people and treated like an animal, your odds of rehabilitation skyrocket.

        Exposing people to violence, punishment and harder criminals is the least productive way to rehabilitation.

  Them: if someone’s getting caught stealing their third car then clearly jail doesn’t work to stop them from doing that and maybe we should think of trying something else?

  You: they want to just let car thieves walk free!

  See what makes you look silly?

  Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !canada@lemmy.ca
