What is even arguably the point of this @sfchronicle story? That we should assume anyone who tries to steal a cell phone is going to shoot their mother?
This is dangerous, fearmongering journalism in its purest form. It's got it all. 1/https://www.sfchronicle.com/crime/article/Man-accused-of-killing-mother-in-Sacramento-was-15897826.php …

No. Merely that we should assume that a robber is a danger to the public generally and should be locked away, not handed off, especially if we have to suspect incompetence or "criminals are victims" leniency. If
@chesaboudin had done so, he would not have caused further harm.5 replies 0 retweets 3 likes -

I like how the entire article implies that stealing a cell phone on the bus, drug possession, and driving without a valid license are indicators that he was going to *kill his mother*, then mentions at the very end that he was charged with assaulting/injuring his ex wife in 2018

Repeating antisocial behavior is an indicator of future antisocial behavior. Which means such a person is a potential threat to others.

Prior charges or domestic violence are way more related to MURDER than stealing a cell phone, drug possession, or driving without a valid license.

What difference does it make? I don't want any repeat violent offender at large. First, protect decent citizens. Then, we can talk about rehabilitating criminals and criminal justice reform.

There is a huge difference between drug possession (nonviolent, victimless), driving without a valid license (this could mean he left it at home or it expired), stealing a cell phone... Which the article implied LEAD TO MURDER (then sidenotes a prior domestic violence charge)

Lydia - how am I responsible for that article? How does it make my position less valid? If you hurt people repeatedly - you belong behind bars. 1/2

The psychology of woke people is fascinating to me. I meet them often. Intelligent, educated, good-faith people. They willfully ignore reality (like the death of Ms. Abe & Ms. Platt) just so they can cling to their belief system & think of themselves and before peers as virtuous.
