This is a bad idea for 2 reasons:

1. We should be focusing on imprisoning copper thieves.
2. If you pressurize your copper cables, fools will still cut them, get injured, and then sue you. I have no idea who would win, but it doesn't matter: the point is you have to defend yourself from a lawsuit from people who were trying to steal from you. Besides the deep injustice, it would be expensive (hello, I'm a lawyer, and we're expensive).

The question "what am I doing/buying __________ for" should always be paired with "what am I stopping doing/buying for"

Broadly, I agree with the points you've made (and I am, like you, staunchly pro-life). But the problem in this Clancy case - and what us conservative men are pointing out - is that we have to wait for your point #8 until we get to the main issue.

The issue is very simple and undisputed: a woman savagely murdered her children. She deserves the death penalty (which by the way is the answer to #10).

Now, if you want to discuss the awful effects of post-partum depression, and how to help women who suffer from that, that's a good and worthy discussion. Let's have it! But the discourse around this case has been to first say "let's talk about how bad PPD is" and then to say, almost as an afterthought, "oh hey a woman strangled her children to death and we should probably punish that."

Those inverted priorities are what us conservative men are pushing back on.

@JaguarGator9NFL I don't think you should be able to bet on the World Series.

@AgitpropMaster This is - unironically, clearly, and absolutely - the greatest movie of all time.

You and I have the same job. We are absolutely required as part of our jobs to not say stuff that we do not think to be true. ER 3.3.

@tiffanynotnice @EndWokeness The actual victims are in coffins because their mother strangled them to death.

You can have a visible sickle and hammer tattoo in the United States of America and it probably won’t hold you back from most corporate roles. Like, you can just be a regular white collar email job-haver with a visible sickle and hammer tattoo.

Just think of all the ordinary things you cannot say in polite company — indisputably true things — while your coworker has a visible sickle and hammer tattoo.

You can imply that you understand why that healthcare CEO got shot in front of your coworkers in the break room and you’re probably not going to get fired.

You could probably joke around about killing all billionaires at work and not get fired.

You can definitely engage in whatever insane, dysfunctional, deviant, sexual degeneracy you want and not only is there no chance you’ll be fired, it’s probably protected by law.

You could be a guy working in a customer service role and come to work in full face make-up and dressed like a woman and, again, your employer will probably feel like they are legally and socially required to accommodate you.

Just think of all the ordinary, boring, and incontrovertible things you cannot, on the other hand, stay at work.

In most workplaces, you can probably hang a Black Lives Matter flag or a pride flag at your cubicle and this kind of explicitly political statement will almost certainly be tolerated.

There’s just no equivalent. No equivalent at all. We live in a progressive culture. The institutions are progressive, the law is progressive, the media you consume is progressive.

There’s no comparison.

"I hope people read the entire story." No, you don't. You know that far, far more people will read the headline than will read the entire article. That's what you want. You want people to read the headline, the "aggressive approach" to "seemingly minor offenses," and walk away thinking that federal agents are overreaching.

Don't pretend you're some noble bipartisan, floating airily above the hoi polloi, when you're just pushing a narrative that arresting people for crime is somehow wrong.

@MoneyMelton52 Good list, but I'd put the order as 1, 2, 5, 4, 3.

[Nick Walter @Nicholasjwalter]

There's been a fascinating - and disturbing - shift in the way we look at crime. Our primary focus used to be the what: what crime was committed? The follow-up: what is the punishment we've determined for such a crime? Now, our primary focus is the why: why did the person commit this crime?

This is bad.

@ClippedCoin Tom Clancy wrote quite eloquently on this wicked dichotomy.

@tobi the good news is that you can train yourself to enjoy hard thinking.

the more you use ai to write and think for yourself, the more difficult this becomes, by the way
