1/x What I mean here is that every day there's another of the same repetitive story. To name a few: - Dealer arrested 4th time on same block with money, drugs, and weapons. - Dealer ignores stay away order. - Man arrested for the 15th time in 18 months for motor vehicle theft.
Again, you're wrong. It's not the punishing that is important - it is the removal this individual from society where he is causing pain to his law-abiding neighbors. I'm sorry, it's not ok to repeatedly steal vehicles with no repercussions and it's not ok to excuse this behavior.

The only "solutions" you have offered are non-starters. It's reprehensible that you would advocate to continue to just let this guy continue to steal vehicles.

Its unconscionable to embrace further counterproductive mass incarceration in this moment of pandemic, doing so exacerbates the epidemiological crisis and likely overwhelms our hospitals, causing mass death. Stuff is replaceable, we have a medical crisis.

I disagree that jail or prison effectively "remove" the individual from society, prohibitively costly in aggregate, and the epicenter of this epidemiological crisis, incarceration regularly but especially right now inflicts the greater pain on society.

I don't care what happens to him as long as he's not on the street continuing to traumatize a community that is already reeling from COVID. You can take him in and babysit him and if you do it effectively I'm glad to give you a healthy chunk of our inflated city budget.
