Local reps worried about youth that will do a smash and grab and when released say they will just do it again. Naturally their thoughts of how to address that have to do with increasing penalties, eroding due process, increasing penalties, etc.
But they need to think for a minute about the message they sent to the youth in the 2024 election.

And when the law does not apply to everyone it stops being justice and becomes oppression.
When we handed felon sex offender Trump the oval office we made crime an act against oppression.
You cannot expect people to abide by rules that do not apply to everyone. Can you blame them for thinking "If we are not all in this together then it is everyone for themselves. "?
You can't parade blatant hypocrisy in front of people, piss all over their rights, their viewpoints and their futures and not expect them to act out!
You can't exclude people from the game and expect them to keep playing by the rules!
