Those Poor Little Darlings

The Atlantic invites us to feel sorry for thieves caught in the act for the umpteenth time:

Ms Fairley – who invokes racism as a cause of her local notoriety, and whose extensive cache of stolen belongings included other people’s credit cards – is described to us at length and in the softest possible light. We learn of her dysfunctional upbringing, her struggles with a mouldy apartment, and her various drug habits, including “trekking daily to a methadone clinic,” a heroic feat, apparently. Ms Fairley’s inability to attend numerous court dates – for petty theft, mail theft, receiving stolen property, possession of heroin, and child endangerment – is, we learn, due to her having “a lot going on” in her life. In at least one instance, it turns out that what was going on was stealing from a resident she’d previously targeted, and who, while being robbed, again, was waiting to see Ms Fairley appear in court.

 

The fact that Ms Fairley is gay is mentioned too, as if that were somehow relevant or an explanation for credit card fraud and chronic thieving. We’re also told, touchingly, that she has “family members’ names tattooed on her neck.”

Oh, there’s more.

  1. Just like Venezuela, San FranSicko creates a third world environment for themselves, and then do nothing but whine about it.

  2. My neighbourhood’s above average lefty/hippy, when a warning about thefts from yards was published in the neighbourhood weekly, there was included an explanation that they preferred to use “scavenging” instead of “theft”.

  3. Rather than “theft”, how about: empowered self help, educating those less aware of the gift of redistribution.

  4. “Julie Margett, a nurse who lives on the street, in a purple cottage with a rainbow gay-pride flag and a BLACK LIVES MATTER sign in the window…”

    Forgive me for losing all sympathy for the plaintiff right there.

    People like Julie are part of the reason San Francisco is in the desperate shape it is.

    1. People like Julie, and San Francisco being in the desperate shape it is, are no small part of the reason other places aren’t in worse shape than they are. Like flies are attracted to …

  5. Clearly a model for the coming woke society.
    The working people are going to be completely wrong about working.
    The bottom feeders will do well.

    Global socialism / fascism will be the brave new world.

    Heh …. could be wrong, however unlikely that seems.

  6. Eventually “earning” your daily bread will become a necessity. How they may be able to earn it will vary. Digging in the dirt for a left over potato may be come commonplace before starvation comes upon them. The Irish had that problem and the people of Venezuela found that dumpsters were a source of food. I doubt Canada will be the same as we will freeze before we starve, sometime between Oct and April.

  7. Leave it to the people to defend themselves and their property is going to lead to a lot of people dead for petty theft. Shoot first, call the cops later. BTW, it seems pretty amazing she was able to afford all those tattoos while stealing to survive. Idiots.

    1. Homeowners who shoot dead intruders should be given public service awards.

      Dozens or perhaps hundreds of people would then never know what it’s like to be a victim of crime. And that is likely one of the highest ‘public goods’ that we could hope for.
