Most of the time when people say they have an unpopular opinion, it turns out it’s actually pretty popular.

Do you have some that’s really unpopular and most likely will get you downvoted?

    So what do you believe should be done for the people that break laws that you don’t deem prison worthy?

      I guess alot of the stuff we already do e.g Community service, mandatory classes, bans, fines but I would add dissolution of your company if you own one or confiscation of luxury items such as yachts of private jets if you own them. Ultimately I think its a case by case thing like shoplifting for essentials should go unpunished but people making lots of money shoplifting high value items should be compelled to pay it back

        I don’t think many of the mostly peaceful protesters ransacking shops around America have private yachts or jets or companies to dissolve. You’re essentially saying slaps on the wrist for everyone that’s not rich and successful, when they’re the ones commuting the least crimes.

        Like it or not, poor people are the ones committing most of the crimes, and as we’re seeing in places like San Francisco, removing the threat of actual punishment just makes people commit crimes more blatantly.
