Actually you don't understand the situation that would arise from allowing these criminals to continue to pray upon the population during an obvious War situation.
To allow thieves to steal it's just going to enable criminals and embolden them.
Since obviously you don't understand this situation. This means that you're going to punish these individuals right then and there. And you're going to make the punishment severe enough that for the rest of this war these thieves think about stealing things.
Obviously you're soft on crime approach comes from big heart however you are just going to enable more rapes murders and violent crimes if you allow Petty crimes.
Obviously you don't live in Portland Oregon right now during this massive crime surge. It's not a crime wave it's a crime tsunami. And it all started off with the cops not being able to respond to anything unless it was extreme. Petty crime started to be allowed and now we have a massive murder and violent crime rate. Rapists are pretty much allowed to continually abusing others as their immediately released without bail if they are even incarcerated or charged at all.
By allowing criminals, and by allowing their criminal actions you are just sentencing them to death. That's right you're killing more people not only the innocent citizens but also those criminals as well.
I wish we could live in a world where we could treat these criminals with respect however.. unfortunately we live in the jungle
