Yes, yes, yes! What a great system, criminals should not be afraid to commit crime or be punished by the criminal justice system!

If the only reason people aren’t committing crimes is fear, you have a failed, useless, morally bankrupt system overdue for abolition

No, crime occurs because you will always have “failed, useless, morally bankrupt” individuals. And yes, you need to instill fear in criminals. Asking nicely won’t work. Ever.

Yeah, just keep clinging mindlessly to the delusion that inhumanity is the answer to crime, even though it has never worked, anywhere, ever
