    ⓘ Dogs don't have thumbs Retweeted Tim Cushing

    You know, under the "Brown M&M" theory, this is maybe not a bad thing. A guy who just steals stuff doesn't belong among decent people. > “three strikes” laws, are a relic of failed “tough on crime” policies Note how they smuggled in the word "failed" Three strike laws WORKEDhttps://twitter.com/TimCushing/status/1313286927156641792 …

        2/ oh, to explain "Brown M&M" relevance: if a guy can't EVEN keep his hands off hedge trimmers, how is he going to not just cause chaos wherever he goes? his felonies: - armed robbery of a cab driver - robbing a Radio Shack - forging a check - robbing a home - hedge clippers

        3/ Playing with the timeline, we see that he was born c. 1960 or so, started committing felonies at age 19 (or maybe just started getting caught then), kept doing it to age 38. So 5 felonies in 19 years. He got caught once every 4 years. He's been in jail for 23 years >

        4/ At the rate he committed felonies before then, that's another 6 or so felonies he would have been caught for in that intervening period. Sure, doesn't seem like he's into rape or murder ... but armed robbery and burglary isn't super conducive to decent high trust society.

        5/ Just as 1 tablespoon of feces in a cask of wine yields 50 gallons of feces, 1 habitual felon on an otherwise high trust society of 1,000 people yields ... a low trust society where everyone locks their doors and bars their windows. "Exit" is good. ...and so is "Exile".

        6/ > “Mr. Bryant has already spent nearly 23 years in prison and is now over 60 years old,” she wrote. “If he lives another 20 years, Louisiana taxpayers will have paid almost one million dollars to punish Mr. Bryant for his failed effort to steal a set of hedge clippers.”

        7/ That's one take. Here's mine: If he lives another 20 years, Louisiana taxpayers will have paid almost one million dollars to keep a reckless, low-conscientiousness civilization-defector who destroys utility everywhere he goes away from decent people. A bargain!

        9/ yes, but OTOH, we need to be cognizant that some people mean well but just don't have much intelligence or conscientiousness, and so we should make it EASY to obey laws https://twitter.com/DrStoutIV/status/1313470915829735425 …

        Replying to @MorlockP
        (why am I doing this) My dislike for a firm rule such as "three strikes you're out" in a world where the average person (famously, in our circles) commits three felonies a day is of a kind with my dislike for the death penalty administered by the government bureaucracy.
