Murder, rape and arson went down, so it seems that large protests actually decrease serious crimes, according to the McArdle formula.Susan of Texashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00076915322771385454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2222630007427380394.post-29114293509710529232011-12-29T21:38:15.385-06:002011-12-29T21:38:15.385-06:00Jezuz Christ that post by Megan is so stupid I thi...Jezuz Christ that post by Megan is so stupid I think my eyes are bleeding just from reading excerpts. Yes, protests that become a locus for homeless and mentally ill people should be run in a self conscious fashion to exclude homeless and mentally ill people. How very obvious. And the "spike in crime" she speaks of clearly isn't a "spike in crime" at all, if it exists, but merely a displacement of crime from places with larger police presence ( presumably the area of the protest which becomes safer) to areas of less police preesnce ( presumably the same areas which didn't have much of a police presence before because they are filled with people of little importance who don't get policed except in the active, violent sense of the word.)<br /><br />aimaiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2222630007427380394.post-61151298981973647602011-12-29T18:21:04.278-06:002011-12-29T18:21:04.278-06:00It would be interesting, Susan, to compile a list ...It would be interesting, Susan, to compile a list of topics MM writes about over a given period--3 months, say. And then to see how many of these are relevant to business and economics. <br /><br />It would also be interesting to chart, over that same period, the important biz and econ news stories, and see how many of these MM fails to explain, clarify, or inform her readers about--as opposed to those about which she does little more than express an opinion based on personal anecdote and "as far as I know."Mr.Wonderfulnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2222630007427380394.post-41406550517620602992011-12-29T16:33:47.448-06:002011-12-29T16:33:47.448-06:00Yes, that is something we need to look at.

Several large moving protests in different locations at the same time would give the cops lots of overtime and make the rich think twice about how much they want to spend to stifle dissent.Susan of Texashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00076915322771385454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2222630007427380394.post-61849276573040367262011-12-29T16:05:54.975-06:002011-12-29T16:05:54.975-06:00Draining police resources needlessly is a tremendo...Draining police resources needlessly is a tremendous good.
