Crime has costs.
Old radio cop and crime shows liked to offer moralistic intros and outros. Some of the moralism was Freudian guilt-mongering about bad parenting causing criminality. Nope, doesn't work that way. Pro criminals are born, not made. If their parents are 'bad' it's because the parents have the same innate tendencies.
One frequently stated moralism that DOES make sense is Crime has costs. When a burglar takes your car, or a Goldman takes your bank account, you may get the car back, but the process always costs time, money and confidence that won't be recovered.
We don't often see discussion of this fact now because the media normally aids and abets the criminals.
Here's a rare specific mention of costs. Criminals posing as "teachers" threatened an illegal strike a couple weeks ago. The school district meekly gave in to the blackmail instead of arresting the burglars. Now the school district has a 5 million dollar hole in its budget because it had planned for the earlier legally allowed salaries. Other school operations will have to be sacrificed to the union thugs.
Crime has costs.
17 DAYS SINCE START OF FINAL PURGE.
