Better home security, no one carries cash anymore let alone leaving large amounts at home. Valuable jewelry is not as fashionable, personal electronics have anti-theft devices and are password locked to users.

On the other hand what's the rate of shoplifting and theft from retail stores compared to 20 years ago?

People just steal the Amazon parcels now instead of going inside.

Break-ins are super rare anyways - my family's home was broken into in the 80s but I've otherwise never heard anyone in my circle have their home broken into. There's so many other ways to steal from people that's easier - shoplifting, running an eBay scam, stealing parcels etc.

Speaking of break-ins, more information came out about that story of the Ontario man charged with attacking an intruder:

https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toron...dent-1.7643339

I figured there was more to this story, of course the stupid online rage-baiters used this as some kind of political issue. The two guys knew each other and had a physical altercation with one another days prior, the intruder was essentially the guy's neighbor.

Either way, what a gangster, the intruder had a crossbow and still got fucked up by the residence's knife. I can't imagine clearing that distance on a guy with a crossbow using a damn knife, wild stuff.

Anyone with a fuckin brain knew there was more to that, which is exactly why PP took the angle he did.

"Breen, the alleged intruder who was on probation and wanted by police at the time, was charged with four counts in connection with the incident."

LOL

how did this thread venture down this wild tangent?

Let's see if I can bring it back. It has been AWFULLY silent about the Tyler Robinson guy ... like zero updates, zero new statements. Smells a bit fishy. I do love how even the far right are coming up with wild conspiracy theories like Israel wanted Kirk killed cuz he was starting to make anti-Israel statements.

If there's one thing that Charlie Kirk was successful in, was leaving a lasting impression. You fucks are still talking about him. IIRC none of the other "person has died" threads have lasted this long.

The legal process takes time. Since the assassination was so high profile, I'm sure we'll all hear about it again as soon as the trail takes place.

These rich Christian Bimbos are so cringe. All family values and Love Jesus but you know they all be fantasizing about being run a train on by Tyrone and his homies.

Tyler Thompson's politics ended up not being the "gotcha" the right wanted, so they've moved on. These idiots didn't give a shit about Kirk, they've jumped onto the next rage-bait, Bad Bunny being the half-time performance at the next Super Bowl

Also, another MAGA shooting at a church, this time in Michigan.

Actually, the rage after the assassination was HUGE but I'm shocked how it dropped off like a steep cliff in such a short time. As I alluded to, I was more surprised by the silence than the 'talk' or lingering buzz about him, honestly, in my algorithms, I am not seeing anything ... but then I don't move in that circle so maybe the Christian right is still raging on his martyrdom.

People have a short memory, but especially Americans. No one actually gave a fuck about this guy before he was shot other than rage baited left wingers and incel losers on the right. He was used as rage bait one last time as a proper send off, then when it was realized that it wasn’t going to create the buzz in the way they’d hoped after people started questioning what actually happened on both sides, trump and his lackeys gave their media bum buddies the direction to cool the coverage.
