Street lights are a robbery of tax payer income.

My car has headlights that work just perfect.

In addition, anyone notice that all these major cities are lit up like Vegas, yet they have the most crime? In fact, the bigger the city, the more light, the more crime.

Get rid of the street lights.

I thought that there was a lot of research which indicated that light deterred crime.

Is there a correlation between the amount of artifical light in a city and ....? From that nighttime satellite view of the world - those areas of light - show modern population areas that have more fat people, more violence and more “copper thieves”.

I think the real issue is that “have nots” feel no guilt in taking from the “haves”. Promotion of a welfare/victim mentality yields such 3rd World activities.

No doubt. You know how hard it is to shoot somebody in the dark?

“Get rid of the street lights.”

But blackouts are a time of increased crime, no?

Maybe the crime would be even higher without the lights.

Maybe you were being sarcastic, if so, sorry.
