Why do people go in threads and complain about someone posting?

Literally just block me or ignore me if what I’m saying makes you feel that insecure.

oh my god I see I have to say this again from the other thread,

there's so much lost context when discussing the crime bill.

1. It wasn't all bad. Let's just get that out the way. Established the s***offender registry, the Violence Against Women Act (which republicans killed) and a federal ban on assault weapons (which republicans also killed). There's some other stuff too but that's the s*** I remember. Where it really went wrong was mandatory minimums, the 3 strikes bs and making a slew of things harsher offenses.

2. It was bipartisan. Whenever republicans bring it up they're acting in extraordinarily bad faith as if they didn't want a harsher bill.

3. It was a popular idea amongst the electorate at the time. Crime in America had been on a steady rise since the 60s and peaked in the 90s. Everyone wanted an answer. The crime bill was that answer. A largely ineffectual answer however. Some people will attribute the fall in crime to the crime bill. Those people are wrong. The crime bill was in almost no way preventative. It was reactionary. The best way to lower crime is to prevent it from happening in the first place. No, not like Minority Report, but by addressing the cause. What's the #1 cause of crime? Poverty. The economic prosperity of the 90s was the main driving force behind lower crime rates. Not the crime bill, not stop & frisk, and not ballooning police budgets. The amount of people in poverty was also on a steady rise since the 60s before plummeting in the 90s. Not so coincidentally, as the middle class expanded during one of the greatest periods of economic growth, crime rates contracted.

All that nuance, but instead we get, "Biden wrote and passed the crime bill all by himself and then he and Hillary celebrated by calling black people predators." and people eat that s*** up because it's simpler to understand.
