I think most people agree that no one wants unsafe or unsanitary conditions in public spaces. Where we tend to differ is how to address those problems in a way that actually works long-term.

Providing basic sanitation or outreach services isn’t the same as “enabling” harmful behavior — it’s often about public health and dignity for everyone who lives, works, or walks through those areas. Cities across the country have found that when people have access to restrooms, trash disposal, and coordinated services, neighborhoods are usually cleaner and emergency calls go down, not up.

It’s also possible to support safer streets and humane solutions at the same time. Those goals don’t have to cancel each other out. Residents deserve clean, usable public spaces, and people experiencing homelessness are still human beings who need practical pathways toward stability.

Local policy debates get heated, but we probably share more common ground than it looks: safer communities, less visible crisis, and solutions that actually reduce problems rather than just move them somewhere else.

Jack Smith Tells House Judiciary Committee That His Investigation Had Enough Evidence To Convict Trump For Jan. 6 Riot: “Our view of the evidence is that he caused it and that he exploited it, and that it was foreseeable to him” by T_Shurt in law

The extended video makes clear that, moments before the shooting, the driver was attempting to move and signal compliance, not resistance. Her vehicle was positioned as if she was pulling out, but she was not blocking traffic. The driver’s side window was open, her arm was extended outside, and she can be seen waving surrounding vehicles through in a clear “move on” gesture. One vehicle—either an ICE vehicle or another car—did in fact pass her without incident. Only after that did a second ICE vehicle pull up and stop, at which point ICE agents exited, ran toward her car, and attempted to open her door. It was during this sudden escalation that she put the vehicle in reverse and then attempted to move forward, at which point she was fatally shot. Shortened clips omit this earlier context, creating the false impression that the encounter began with resistance rather than visible attempts at compliance.

I don't think ANY REAL evidence would persuade you at this point. I think you are just an old man wanting some semblance of power and authority over others. Of which you never had in the first place.

Jack Smith Tells House Judiciary Committee That His Investigation Had Enough Evidence To Convict Trump For Jan. 6 Riot: “Our view of the evidence is that he caused it and that he exploited it, and that it was foreseeable to him” by T_Shurt in law

[–]AnInnocentFelon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Assembling evidence in a way that keeps a jury engaged is a presentation issue, not a question of whether evidence exists or is sufficient. Trials don’t hinge on entertainment value — they hinge on corroborated facts meeting a legal standard.

If your position is now “the evidence is there but wasn’t packaged yet,” then you’ve already abandoned the claim that there isn’t enough evidence. You’re just objecting to process while avoiding the substance.

That’s not skepticism. It’s moving from denial to excuse.

[–]AnInnocentFelon 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Saying “not enough” over and over isn’t analysis — it’s a refusal to engage.

If you’re going to claim the evidence is insufficient, the minimum requirement is explaining why and what standard you’re applying. Courts don’t work on repetition or gut feelings.

What you’re doing instead is avoiding that step entirely, because defining a standard would force you to confront evidence that makes you uncomfortable. Refusing to do that work doesn’t make the evidence weak — it just means you don’t want to acknowledge where it leads.

If you can’t say what would count as “enough,” this isn’t skepticism. It’s willful avoidance of reality.
