    hey the definition of criminal is set by fallible people so don’t pretend it’s the be all end all!

    “criminal” is such an encompassing term that seems to put murderers, rapists, drug peddlers who sell to children vs. some weed smokers, falsely accused people, white collar criminals, petty criminals including shoplifters, jaywalkers, etc.

    You can’t seriously think someone who steals an apple from a shop needs the same treatment as a violent unrepentant murderer?

      I don’t know what the answer is, but I do know that this “soft on crime” and “it’s not their fault” victim mentality isn’t working… I’ve seen retail workers CRY because people are constantly stealing and berating them if they try and get involved… it’s a very frustrating issue.
