Seattle is considering making it legal to steal, as long as you're poor and plan on selling the items. Wait, what? (notthebee.com)

That can't be anything but part of some kind of experiment. A series of large-scale ones involving entire cities and regions. Sounds crazy, but that's what things are starting to look like, isn't it?

Plenty of people in Seattle believe and support this, I live here, it's real.

A few years back the city of Seattle Waste Management actually left us a threatening notice because our dinky little garbage can weighed too much. They threatened to fine us for that.

And yet the city allows rampant homeless camps galore and crazy fukwads to run amok, while my garbage was in violation of their official guidelines.

The anarchists are literally winning and they will punish everyone. I don't know what happens now, I really don't.

You can see that happening in Britain too. The police will investigate and pursue people who make jokes on the internet, but allow entire ethnic minority groups to self-police and do whatever they want for themselves.

There very much is a new caste system being put in place.

Remember when they had people rummaging through people's garbage checking if people were putting food waste in the garbage instead of their dedicated "food waste" containers and threatening to fine people who did? I think the courts had to tell them to knock that shit out.

Hell yes I remember that, I thought it was just a fluke of stupidity that would be slapped aside. Instead they've doubled down on every stupid idea they've ever had and codified insanity into the only thing they do allow.

Also remember the mayor who was behind that shit was forced to resign because he had been diddling his own family's kids?? https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/politics/seattle-mayor-ed-murray-resigns-after-fifth-child-sex-abuse-allegation/

These people are godless.

I almost forgot about Ed Murray. I remember back when people were still disgusted by the homeless camps they used to call them "Murrayvilles".

I imagine most of those people have since fled the city, as Lot fled Sodom.

A war is coming. I think a lot of people realize it and hope that it will avoid them, but it's coming.

as long as you're poor

Let me guess, poverty is determined by amount of remuneration from legal employment, something career criminals don't have.

Won't take long before "poverty" is measured by melanin levels as well.

There was a news report about a Walgreens facing closure because of the rate of shoplifting, and when they were filming some guy jumped a counter and ran off with some products. In San Francisco of course. https://archive.is/3TdqT And I've seen videos of people with garbage bags just dumping stuff into them because they know they won't be arrested since it won't go above a certain dollar amount.

Anyone who can't leave will probably start locking down all their merchandise as best as they can.

People need to organize a few dozen bums and drop them off at the homes of all the politicians who supported this.

Honestly, we're reaching a tipping point where these politicians are going to start being harassed or worse because of the shit they pulled. We've already seen it this year with BLM and a few politicians having their homes raided.

Something like this is currently destroying San Francisco. The DA and mayor keep adding to it too. You can have hundreds of dollars worth of merchandise stolen at a time, as long as the criminal doesn't hit the limit and if he does, then they'll let him go using other reasons.
