The Seattle City Council is considering a measure that would provide exemption from prosecution for any person who suffers from poverty, homelessness, addiction, or mental illness. In 2019 persons in these classifications accounted for 25,993 thefts, 8,442 assaults, 6,430 property offenses, 4,194 frauds, 3,910 trespasses, and 1,640 narcotics violations. Nearly all of those crimes would have been permitted under the proposed new ordinance.
Lisa Herbold, the city councilwoman who proposed the legislation, argued that "these unfortunate people who have been victims of society deserve the right to extract just compensation without fear of further punishment. And since these types of crimes constitute over 70% of the crimes committed in the City making the perpetrators immune from prosecution will lighten the workload of our police department, courts, and jails. With the money we save we can provide a lot of free stuff that should mitigate their misery and ultimately reduce their need to commit crimes just to survive."

Washington will need to empty it’s prisons to make room for people who don’t wear masks and congregate with their families.
They already have, pretty much. Idiots. I live 75 miles away and it’s too close.
If all property is removed, all rights taken away and everyone forced to be a nameless mask-wearing non person then what good to courts or politicians do?
Just let the anarchists have everything to burn it all to the ground.

Then we can steal everything they own, then they can re-steal everything we stole, then we can steal back all our previously stolen item, and they can sneak in and steal it all back again, and then we can ... and so on and so forth
Since crime won’t exist
Once again, John, this is not semi-satire.
This is predicting the future.
The NEAR future.

Shouldn’t be satire, they already have.
