increasing trailhead smash-and-grabs in WA State

[GWP]

One problem (and yes, I said ‘problem’) is with all the camera’s around, YOU very well may get sued if you lay a hand on them.
It’s like my wife always says, “You get what you vote for.”
When they let criminals back out before the paperwork is even finished processing, that is what you get.
It has to be quite depressing to law enforcement to see that happen.
I could tell some stories about the Cops in Montana in the 70’s…

People will do anything to feed their drug habit. Stuff is so addictive, the withdrawals so bad.

Even here in the Tri-Cities, people getting their windows broke at the Candy mountain TH. BIG, wide open parking lot, VISIBLE from the freeway, and folks come back to a smashed window or stolen car.

Yeah, pretty obvious problems with highly contested solutions.  For example:  getting rid of narcan would probably drop the crime rate a bit.

Guess I lived a sheltered life. When i grew up back in the 80's, kids that did do drugs/alcohol, drank and/or smoked pot. I didn't know anybody that did heroin or crack or anything else.

Now they have all these various pills, which then when you cant get those you do heroin. Fentanyl? Extasy? Meth? Crack?, Mexis? Oxys?

So many of these kids grow up with messed up parents that are addicted themselves, maybe they get molested and nobody cares.

The parents put there kids on ADD medications, which probably helps some/lot? of kids, but with others it teaches them to self medicate later on in life. It was accepted to take a prescription to change how your brain works, why not skip the middle man and smoke pot, then dabble in this or that?

IIIIIIIIII, don't know.....

Cops are being killed in record numbers and lawlessness is at all time highs, respect and fear of cops is likewase very low. 
I wonder what correlations could be drawn here.

I wonder if you took cops from the old Wyatt Earp days, cloned them and turned em loose today, what kind of chaos would ensue

Police forces in Cities like Seattle are down in force by 50-80%. With legislation that protects the criminals and drowns the LEOs in restraint and liability, criminals feel free to do as they wish. The defund the police movement has died...but too late to prevent chaos. This is all by design.

Yup, devolved into pension protection

I get daily updates about the nefarious activity of criminals...if you guys only knew.

Prosecutors are looking to hang cops..it's a status thing to show your worth to the left...and the AGs office is chomping at the bit to hang some gun toting 2A conservative that dirt naps some poor drug user for a petty crime that was never given a chance by his upbringing and the current system....

Tread lightly.

The real injustice here is that someone justified in shooting one of these miscreants has to defend himself against the massive power of a government bent on convicting him as an example to the rest. If you can't take the peoples' guns, make them not want to use them.

Nothing makes people toe the line like fear of punishment.

I'll second that.  Grew up in NW MT in the 70s/80s.  Different place, different era.

It’s so unfortunate that this is the truth. On a side note, have you ever seen those 3” needle darts that fly out of a blow gun with incredible accuracy? Have you ever noticed the amazing velocity a good quality wrist rocket and a pocket full of ball bearings will achieve?
