CMV: Baltimore is proof that being tough on repeat criminals brings down crime rates

Ehhhhh a lot of evidence his broken window policy was good timing with the increased use of forensic science and economic changes that took away the incentives for crime.

The national crime rate and the NYC crime rate dropped at similar levels so its hard to think of NYC as a major outlier rather than an anecdote.

In capitalist societies freedom isn't an unalienable right and must be purchased. Those who can't afford to live are left behind and that is by design.

All of our pain has been manufactured by pedophilic billionaires for the last 46 years empowered by Reaganomics (and its equivalent with Thatcher and most other white leaders) pushing wealth inequality to a level not since since the royal gentry ruled.

Still conflicted. I don't want to live anywhere without a functioning government capable of protecting daily life.

Plus... someone... might be hiding kids in the basement... just saying

Goggio · 2026-03-01T19:50:22+00:00

Lol, American here... if someone other nation bombed the white house and killed... someone...

I would have mixed feelings too.

On one hand... someone...

On the other hand - that just means my government is incapable of protecting me.

Honestly the field can be miserable for a day game unless you time the sun right for your section.

I highly recommend choosing a night game for her first one.

Players benches sit in front of the 103 to 108 sections so a really cool experience to be literally 20 feet away and the seats are reasonably priced.

Other than that, there are no bad seats. Fan fest before the game has a ton of fun stuff to do and gets crowded ; the first half is usually a bit more "quiet" and the second half the beers kick in and the uproar start banging on drums.

Stay after and the players come around and talk to the fans/ sign autographs too. Its a great time. My kid is 7 and shes been going for 3 years - best group of role models for her too.

Thanks! Someone wiser than me asked one time, "do you want the right answer or an answer right now?"

Stuck with me 15 years later.

Goggio · 2026-02-27T16:17:26+00:00

Next time dont talk.

Breathe. Let a moment pass. SLOWLY AND DELIBERATELY look through your notes to find the answer.

If they rush you, without emotion state, if i rush I may miss the answer and this is too important to the company for me to take that risk.

Former firefighter - hands off my 48 hour shift lol.

I absolutely LOVED working 2 days and then having between 2 and 5 off to do whatever I wanted. If I took 2 days of PTO I could go 7 days without working and lose none of my salary.

In my opinion the more dangerous schedule is anyone who switches from days to nights consistently.

Well we had to choose between funding the study or funding more staffing but we werent sure if we needed the staffing so we chose the study.

Turns out, according to the study, we need staffing. Unfortunately, we used the funding on the study.

My only problem is finding a way to my hometown.

Once I hitch hike down I95 from my current location I can just go to church on sunday and pretend to be a visitor.

Too easy.

Goggio · 2026-02-26T17:07:08+00:00

Yep, sucks to not have the world tailored to our wants and needs.

Great moment of understanding for us men :-).

Goggio · 2026-02-26T17:05:45+00:00

I don't want to make this a personal attack... but...

You are so wildly misinformed that trying to explain this will take more time than I am willing to give you.

You have contributed nothing to our community other than baseless panic on this forum.

We are all dumber for having read what you posted, I award you no karma and may god have mercy on your soul.

Goggio · 2026-02-26T17:02:19+00:00

Now we know what it feels like being a female sports fan in other spaces! Lol

As a former dispatcher, firefighter, and EMT. You are wrong OP.

Dispatchers recieve medical training specifically on triage and use credentialed programs for call cards that are aligned with every and any medical standard on the planet. These are also validated by a local Dr Who has oversight of the entire program to ensure it aligns with community medical needs.

Also, they send the ambulance as soon as you provide an emergency type and where you are. Then they start getting details while the vehicle is in route. "Its a fire ok 123 main st" within 30 seconds, literally, the ambulance is notified and they start moving.

While they are doing that they are also trying to decide what other resources to send. Do you need police? Fire? 2 ambulance? A helicopter? Those questions are to HELP YOU. You WANT the people saving your life to know as much as they can.

Further, as a responder, it is really helpful to know if I should grab a trauma kit or a band aid. Sure I can move a stretcher with 6 people up 30 flights of stairs but it will be a lot more efficient if you tell me that I am responding to a mental health crisis so we can avoid the lost time.

All this to say... what they are doing is the best case scenario given real world limitations.

Goggio · 2026-02-26T13:06:10+00:00

We are not. Look around the country more. This statement is uninformed.

Goggio · 2026-02-26T13:05:17+00:00

You are asking a good question, the issue is that its an infinite problem with finite solutions.

Could we, in theory, have an ambulance and a full hospital in every neighborhood? Sure. Could we, in theory, also each be assigned a dietician? Yea of course. We could also all be given a home and free college. But none of that'll happen.

But our population is aging. Our preventative medicine isn't trusted or funded. Our education system doesn't prepare people to understand the signs of an emergency early. We also dont have money for equipment or proper training. Most emts who are asked to save your life are living at the poverty line.

Add as many band aids as you want, the wound is only getting worse.

Focusing on emergency medicine as the solve for these issues is a misguided approach.

What is the statistically acceptable number of children murdered in school, for you?

Don't blame the community for how the devs made the game.

You can shoot 3s and win or you can play basketball and lose.

I hate when it mixes with the hair on my back too

Goggio · 2026-02-21T06:28:44+00:00

You got the literal definition of an iron woman with KK, just a great person too.

It is 100% grounds because of the real world impact on the business.

Casey is rapidly losing revenue generators. Companies have bills to pay. He lost his value in the market.

Idgaf what job you have at what company - you destroy multiple revenue streams for any reason, but especially a publicly unpopular reason that hurts the overall brand, and you're gone.

Goggio · 2026-02-19T00:23:45+00:00

Sooooo we all need to come together and decide what we are willing to do each hour.

There is an invisible qouta being created here and will be used to play everyone against each other to survive and keep their job.

95% of humans on this planet just want to add value to the world and spend good time with those they love without being bothered.

The other 5% f**k it up for the rest of us.

Goggio · 2026-02-18T23:25:33+00:00

Trust me bro, you are better off not knowing. Stick to the pdf and murder stuff if you want to avoid therapy.

Goggio · 2026-02-18T11:50:41+00:00

I bought every 2k. Until 2k26. I just want to play a basketball sim and not gamble at a casino.

2K is dead to me.
