> This question jumps past the more fundamental question of whether policymakers, and the government in general, should prevent people from making their own choices.
When your choices include terrorizing businesses and being a public nuisance to everyone else, then yes, government should prevent people from making those choices.
We already have laws for theft and similar crimes. You don't need a government creating more rules preventing entire categories of choices from being made, especially if they already can't enforce the laws on the books.
What classic, pathetic, intellectually cowardly American idiocy.
Those laws are not sufficiently effective deterrents. Americans, whose only idea for how to solve any problem is finding new ways to punish and hurt people, have one of the highest incarceration rates in the world, and brainless husks, like you somehow think the problem can be solved with more punishments.
You are a terrible human being. You’re more interested in hurting people than you are in solving the problem.
