Do you believe criminals have more rights than those they harm in the U. S. these days?

It depends where you are and what crimes you commit honestly. Like in the same city where you would get slammed with possession and lose 20 years, you might be able to get away with blue collar crimes or rape depending on what their focus of prosecution is, or who you know.
Prosecutors focus on the crimes that will get convictions and generate outrage, and whether you're on the left, right, or getting locked up, it's going to seem shitty.
In general I think you're on to something there, and it has nothing to do with politics, but more so that for any crime, generally you need to do it several times and impact many people before there's even the impetus to gather evidence, much less a high chance of securing a prosecution.
If I went out and started extorting businesses today, but stopped half a year from now, there likely wouldn't be enough evidence for me to be prosecuted, likewise if I just went on a spree stealing cars, selling oxies or something. As long as there was a strict volume, timeline, target audience, and exit plan, the chances of getting caught are very small, while the profit, pleasure, what have you, are as high as you want to pursue it.
I do get some crimes being tossed in big cities. It sounds terrible when you hear it on a case by case basis, if you look strictly at the volume of cases they have to push through, ehh, not so much.
Like in New Orleans we have a law to cut down on the number of homicides where if you can't charge someone within 45 days it isn't a homicide anymore. It just isn't worth investigating after that period of time because so many more people will have been shot after 45 days.

Squatters have unfair “rights”. Squatters are already affecting people who rent their houses out and they are affecting people in their primary house. It’s ridiculous. I can’t squat in Obama’s house but other people can squat in a middle income person’s house. It’s just not right.

[Sixgunsound]

The last time a group of squatters were sent to a rich Democrat island they used the military to chase them onto a garbage barge with battle rifles. All heil the tolerant left!

[NathanDavis]

that seems to be the case in many instances, and it does happen, yes...

thing is that... for a victim, their rights have already been violated big time and they've been already harmed

and then the criminal will either be protected by the law in spite of committing a crime... and sometimes corruption and impunity will prevail

fair and justice become relative

[MementoMori777]

Oh I know they do, because rules don't apply to them and that not just counts the important ones but the stupid ones as well

[MementoMori777]

And to top it off when they get caught, all the people pay their rent, food, health care and water with the taxes, they live free while you work to feed them and care for them

[Tyrael]

If it were the case then you'd think more people would become criminals. I mean all these people who think this way and believe paying taxes etc is a waste, they should just go ahead and be criminals since it's that much better.

[FunkyMonkee]

FUCK NO!! You hurt or kill someone, you just FLUSHED your rights!! Loony lefties don't seem to understand that!

[NaultD]

Any injustice compromises your own ability to get justice.

[Kinkyhubby]

It seems that way. They are definitely making it easier to keep them out of jail

[Pudsmucker]

I agree with your comment criminals do have more rights than those that they've injured.

[Sixgunsound]

I don't believe in it but they seem to.

[exitseven]

yes, in most democrat run cities definitely.

[razelove]

That's what they do, you can just choose to not live there. Even as far back as the 2000's when I was bouncing around the country then the world I never wanted to go to the Northeast, nothing about crime, just the population density, expenses, and restrictions didn't seem like it would be fun at all. At least the West coast has surfing.
Now there are just more reasons to not go there, or West past Vegas again.

@razelove I am working on moving out of here. I have given up hope that this place will ever change. i
t has only gotten worse.

[Fuentes]

I blame the liberals

[SmokinAces2000]

No..

[ShadezMcgee]

So you don't think it's weird that when a burglar breaks into someone's house armed that they have to be warned by the homeowner and the police called before they can be dealt with by the homeowner because of probable threat in some states?

[SmokinAces2000]

I haven’t heard of this but if that’s true then clearly it’s ridiculous but your questing was about criminals having more rights in the US as a whole.

[ShadezMcgee]

Right, and this relates. There are some states that despite the fact of castle doctrine, the homeowner has to call police, warn the intruder and have to be in danger before they can take matters into their own hands. Which is bullshit.

My question relates because that is a perfect example of criminals having more rights. Personally I believe criminals forfeit their rights the second violence or intention is had

[DizzyDesii]

I dont

[Agape93]

Absolutely yes.
