Of course you're from California. Anyone shit on your sidewalk yet today?

It's funny how people generalize with a single word of "California". What you're talking about is what you'd find in certain parts of LA and SF, which total around 150 square miles. And even then, street poo is a fraction of that. Then there's the other 150,000 square miles of California, which don't really fall into the outsider's vision of "California", and we suffer the same exact same issues that others do. 

What you're doing is like referencing Toronto for all of Ontario, which I'm sure you know is absurd. Plus, you're in Canada, so I don't expect you to have respect for our constitution, but for those that do, cutting off people's hands for theft is what idiots do in shithole countries, and we aspire for something better than that here, where we don't let our hate for criminals turn us into criminals.

I also don't think barbarism is the solution, but liberal policies of letting people get away with theft under a certain value with ZERO consequences isn't the solution...  You are going in the wrong direction for sure.  Do I want more prisons?  Not really, but the punishments need to increase, not decrease for crimes committed.  And if that means more places to lock up, then let's get them built.

That's SF, fifty square miles. It makes up 0.03% of California. The only poo I might step in around here is from bear, or deer. And to be fair, bear poo probably looks a lot like hobo poo to the uninformed, so I can see how it would be confusing. We don't even have typical homeless people out here. The only "homeless" people we have are a few crusty old dudes that gold pan and camp. And they don't ask for anything except maybe a ride into town if you happen to be driving by. 

Totally agree on everything else. The policies trying to hug the crime out of people, simply does not work. It sucks that people have lost the ability to see any nuance. Either you must want to throw them in the wood chipper, or give them a hug and an iphone. I don't want either of those things, and apparently that's just too complex these days.

A little off topic but Gatorback theft related -- I'm thinking about going there in January for a vintage race. Not sure if I will camp or stay at a hotel nearby. I seem to remember hearing about bikes being stolen there another time in the not-too-distant past. Has this been an issue other than this guy? I was also considering renting a U-Haul trailer and staying in a hotel - are there hotel areas (Alachuca or Gainesville) that people prefer where they feel okay parking a U Haul overnight? (Assuming it is also locked and preferably backed up to something like a wall or light pole!)  

Def still taking a risk. Enclosed trailers are easy to steal from. Less if a risk than just having them in the truck bed. But best bet would be to stay where you can bring them in with you.

Seems the owner of the hands is the one who would make the decision if the material worth would be greater the the value of thier hands, thats why its called a deterrent. Seems a lot of horrible crimes are commited and the deterrent of a nice cell and 3 squares is not enough of a deterrent. Not sure what the penalty should be, but crimes sure seem to out pace the punishment.

This man gets it....  ^^^^^    Deterrent is the key word here.      Based on some of the responses in this thread, you can see why criminals are so emboldened these days. 

 

Realistically, you start with  just the tip of a finger.  Repeat offender, the whole finger goes.   They steal again...a couple more fingers. 

If it continues, then the hand.     Then the other hand.     You can't really steal anymore with no hands.

Deterrents don't work because the morons who commit crimes don't expect to get caught. If they did the states with capital punishment would have a crime rate of 0. 

Exactly.

Alright, let's ignore the bike theft at Mini-O's and get philosophical, because let's be real this guy isn't the same as a thief who steals a loaf of bread for their hunger. This guy was stealing strictly for personal gain.

BUT if we're saying life is more valuable than property, then why aren't we, as functioning societies, feeding the hungry, housing the homeless, and providing free healthcare? Doing those will prevent far more theft than cutting off hands, but we don't do that either? Why? Is it because you value your hard earned dollar? Why do we not just open the borders and let everyone in if life is so valuable? 

And we as a society are already hypocrites in this manner. Megan's Law makes people who have already served punishment go around door to door and profess their crimes, yet a paroled murderer doesn't have to do that. Why? 

Again, at the risk of sounding like a barbarian, our society isn't set up to value life. We don't even live in a democracy anymore, just a corporate oligarchy, where Walmart has more power than you or I ever will.

Civilized people see humans as intrinsically valuable - that is, valuable in and of themselves, irrespective of their value as a means to another's ends. That's why we shouldn't do things like round up people with nothing material to offer anyone and no family connections and harvest their organs. Our whole system of medical ethics is founded on this principle - not based on actual practices or conventions, but on rational principles. You on the other hand, are committing the naturalistic fallacy: inferring an ought from an is (drawing conclusions about how things ought to be based on how things currently are) because you have no idea how to engage in philosophical reasoning. It's embarrassing.  

Even the wrongness of stealing is grounded in the idea that by stealing from someone, you are exploiting them as a mere means to an end without regard for their interests. Persons have their own interests and ends, unlike mere tools that don't care how they are used, That's why the value of persons is not defined by the degree to which they are resources for others. If you don't grant that, then why object to stealing in the first place (other than the brute fact that you don't like it, but why should anyone give a shit about that if persons' interests don't matter?)?

 

Gee, in all that sanctimony, you still didn't answer any of the questions I posed, instead you just chose to be an asshole. In your quest to be "right" and point out my fallacies you seem to completely missed the point of my post. 

I do not argue with any of the points you've made. 

What I was working at is why does the culture of our country so clearly value property over people.  Not the medical industry, but our society. Because let's be real, if we as a society gave a fuck about the inherent value of people, there are so many avenues we're going about it wrong. Once "society" starts truly caring about the most at-risk populace, people get up in arms about socialism and communism, as if helping others will remove their agency. 

You and I seem to be in agreement, that if you value life, you must also value their quality of life and stealing from another is to ignore all of that. 

Get off your high horse talking about embarrassing. If you really gave a shit you'd be offering solutions instead of focusing on my lack of "philosophical reasoning."

Given what you’ve just said, I’ve reread your post in a more charitable light and yes, I think I did miss your point. I apologize. I feel rather stupid but also pleased that you’re not actually arguing that life isn’t valuable.

Well I certainly value my hard earned property far more than some criminal low life who tries to steal it.

I gotta wonder what the “people over property” folks will do when some dirtbag walks into their pits at the races and starts pushing one of their bikes away. Any answer other than “help yourself mr bike thief” is counter to the “people over property” thinking. Where do they draw the line? Is stealing their catalytic converter ok? Food? Bikes, cars, mortgage theft? Does insurance make theft ok, because it makes your loss into everyone’s loss? 
 

I gotta think that virtually everyone will defend their property, pretty thoroughly, anytime possible. 
 

Theft is pretty close to an absolute. If it’s not yours, you don’t take it. This is a requirement to live in a civilized world. If you want to give things away to make yourself feel better, do it. A lot of people need help, and a lot of us can afford to give it. But tolerance of theft isn’t charity.

It’s unfortunate that your main take from my comments is stating I’m okay with stealing from the rich.

You apparently were too consumed with anger directed at me vs the situation I have nothing to do with.

As if you possess the sole license to express your anger over my comments as if no one else has been stolen from. I lost over twice as much as you did in a burglary of my business where there was no insurance to cover that. Do I get double your anger over thieves?

Pathetic with your over the top anger inferring somehow I was ok with other forms of theft. GTFO??? Really….. 

 

An apology from you is the only way to correct what you wrongfully typed.

You come across like an arrogant a-hole. I will offer no apology.

I value my morning dump more than the lives of thieves, rapists, pedos, and murderers. If we brought back public executions in town square, you’d have a very polite society. Instead we’ve turned soft and worry about the perpetrators feelings instead of getting retribution for the victims. 

How about a national televized execution once a week. Enough of the BS masked singer or america has talent. If it stopped one murder it would be worth it in my opinion.

Ha, it's okay. Most people outside of CA don't know places like Nevada County exist, and that's the way I like it! People think the whole state is like LA, SF and San Diego (which it is, population-wise, but not geographically). Only 5 percent of Californians live in rural areas, compared to a national average of 19 percent.

Back on topic and on this POS father. 

I often wonder what is in these folks heads, like what is their future plan exactly?  So he’s trying to make little Johnny, poor kid, a motocross star. At what point in the process was his plan to write the wrong with the birth certificate and the kids real age?  No matter where or when it was going to go South for the kid and his “career”.  Sad to see so many folks whose elevator doesn’t get off the ground floor…

I’ve had shit stolen and it’s a terrible feeling and hope this guy gets whatever is dealt,  now and into the future. 

Feel for the kid more than anything. His dad went from hero to Zero in one fell swoop. Embarrassing!

A little off topic but Gatorback theft related -- I'm thinking about going there in January for a vintage race. Not sure if I will camp or stay at a hotel nearby. I seem to remember hearing about bikes being stolen there another time in the not-too-distant past. Has this been an issue other than this guy? I was also considering renting a U-Haul trailer and staying in a hotel - are there hotel areas (Alachuca or Gainesville) that people prefer where they feel okay parking a U Haul overnight? (Assuming it is also locked and preferably backed up to something like a wall or light pole!)  

High Springs or Alachua are safer than Gainesville. But like we did in the old days, our bikes went in the room too. I'll be at that same race in January as well but live near High Springs. Sadly not much is safe anymore with weak laws.

Physically mutilating a human over theft of material does not make any sense.  A human body doesn’t have a net worth.  Sure there should be consequences that are monetary or losing property or something to that degree, but no.  This is deranged 

 

I had 3 bikes stolen in 2021, so I have perspective as a victim of theft.  Do I wish I could get my bikes back and a settlement on top of that? Yes.  Do I want the people who did it to have their hands cut off? Fuck no.  That’s disgusting to value property higher than human life, and likely the train of thought that’s led us to a place where people steal the way they do.

I value my morning dump more than the lives of thieves, rapists, pedos, and murderers. If we brought back public executions in town square, you’d have a very polite society. Instead we’ve turned soft and worry about the perpetrators feelings instead of getting retribution for the victims. 

Finally some logic.

    As I always say in these threads....start cutting off hands and it'll come to a very quick end.

It’s a simple concept. Don’t steal and keep your hands. Actions have consequences.

Looks like he’s got two counts of Grand larceny and two counts of modifying numbers (scratched vins, probably) all of which are felonies. 
 

If vehicles were stolen in OK and transported over state lines as it sounds, he may get federal charges if the US attorney feels so inclined.

Deranged is actually thinking anyone in this thread would cut off someone hands. But, here you are.🤦‍♂️

Personally, I would like to see thieves in a chain gang, dressed in orange overalls with THEIF written in big bold black letters on the front and back of said overalls.

Let them work in a chain gang cleaning pavements, public parks,  parking lots etc...they need to give back to the law-abiding public...

Everyone will be able to see what their crime was.

A very polite public indeed. Laws like that are probably what Africa needs. Our thieves, burglars and armed robbers in Africa are draconian if you are unlucky enough to walk in on them whilst they are in your house. 

My friend's dad was shot dead, his mother was repeatedly rapped and sodomised during a home invasion/robbery. 

These guys are sitting in prison at our, the tax payers expense. That's fucking bullshit in my books.

According to this article he's already had a federal conviction. I wonder what for...

"he has out-of-state criminal convictions spanning 2000 to 2023 and a federal conviction from 2018"

Bike thieves in the pits dont deserve hands cutoff by the government.  How impersonal.  A hefty beatdown by some motodads is more appropriate.
