It only takes a few times getting mugged, being subject to a car smash and grab, or being porch pirated to go from "we lock too many people up!" to "why aren't we locking these crazy people up?".

Otherwise you might as well randomly pick them off the streets (but maybe that’s already what is happening).

Definitely conservatives pointing out these problems is the best way to get votes in ultra liberal Seattle, and they don’t need to make anything up. It isn't going to change us into Trump voters, but it can sway local elections.
