    There is no legal mechanism in place to “reclaim” these vehicles and force the owner to sell and redistribute to the poor, but I think you’d find widespread support here for something like that.

    So instead they get torched, to send a message. I suspect it’ll get worse in the near future and I wouldn’t recommend buying one today to anyone who values their personal safety.

        Right, arson is generally illegal but when we start talking about “crimes” we can also bring up “morality” and “ethics” and it becomes a much more productive discussion.

          You people are so far gone it’s sad.

          Really puts things into perspective how smart the average individual is these days.

            The United States is so far gone it’s sad.

            I agree public education is abysmal.

              Public education is fine, but people only get out of it what they put into it.

              We’ve been conditioned not to value education, so that’s what’s happening.

              Kind of makes me want to get back into academia. I’m tired of being surrounded by morons.
