The problem with not prosecuting theft is that it might lead to more people taking the law in their own hands. California has become the 21st Century’s “Wild West”. Lawlessness creates more lawlessness unfortunately.

Agreed. I believe that people are increasingly losing faith in the state’s ability to afford basic protections. Drugs and theft appear to be rampant and uncontrollable. To me, this loss of faith is big evidence that we are in the midst of collapse.

The Wild West was more tame than the name portrays. The wild portion came from the native fauna and the natives themselves.

If there i8s no law, then there is no law

Thus, Dene Blakely committed no crime and is innocent

And, she is not white and therefore blameless from the outset

These pirates are just so brazen about it. You can look at the YT PP clips and see that. Some open the packages right there on the porch so they don’t have to carry junk they don’t want. Others, when caught, play dumb and say things like “my boss asked me to pick it up. Isn’t this 321 Broad Street?” And others just drop it and waddle off (many are just plain fat.)
