Beehaw's community for socialists, communists, anarchists, and non-authoritarian leftists (this means anti-capitalists) of all stripes. A place for all leftist and labor news and discussion, as long as you're nice about it.
Non-socialists are welcome to come to learn, though it's hard to get to in-depth discussions if the community is constantly fighting over the basics. We ask that non-socialists please be respectful and try not to turn this into a "left vs right" debate forum by asking leading questions or by trying to draw others into a fight.

I'll be honest, I really couldn't care less if Broken Windows theory is correct or not. I don't think it'd even matter so much whether it was, provided our response to it was a kind and gentle one that actually tries to help people rather than disappear them.
Unfortunately, such an approach is one that cops are fundamentally incompatible with.
