Have you never been to aurora? really? jfc... I'm beginning to think you're some shill who's never even been to seattle.
get fucked.
two crimes over the past four years. literally a combat zone.
/s
it's so fucking cute that you think it's only two crimes.
goddamn. you really hate asians huh?
I don't doubt hate crimes are increasing,
I do doubt that crime in general is increasing. I do doubt that intensive and automated surveillance is anywhere remotely close to helpful. I do doubt that relying on law enforcement, which is usually on the side of the hateful, are the right custodians of mass surveillance, let alone given discretion to use violence in response to it.
no more cops and no surveillance - you just figure the crimes will stop themselves.
that's a new kind of stupid.
