As he pulled his luggage through downtown New Haven, Conn., a woman handed him a flier describing his new city as crime-ridden and dangerous. It listed alarming local crime statistics and instructed students to “remain on campus,” “avoid public transportation” and “stay off the streets after 8 p.m.” Illustrated with a picture of the Grim Reaper, the flier wished students an ominous “Good luck.”

But perhaps most jarring was the source of the flier, listed plainly in its text: the union that represents Yale’s own campus police.

So if you think someone has a little more money than you do, it's OK to rob them for no other reason than you would like more money? Again, this is bad, and not leftism, despite the class-based veneer you're throwing on it.

Moving from "some crimes are justified, or even good, because they further a leftist project that benefits working people" to "crime is rad lol" creates this type of opportunism.

In your original post you make it sound much more like recreation than necessity.

Comrade WoofWoof can have a little crime, as a treat.
