Are Theft, Vandalism And Arson Now Acceptable Behavior In Chattanooga?

  • Saturday, July 11, 2020

There are a lot of things I don’t agree with in this world and I will openly speak out about it in a civilized tone and manner.  I definitely don’t go around stealing, vandalizing and burnIng those items that frustrate or anger me as that would be counterproductive to a civilized society. 

Watching the news this morning I saw a couple of individuals committing theft, vandalism, arson and I’m assuming many more violations.  They not only were on camera committing these crimes, but one of these individuals openly admitted to doing it and was proud of it. 

Are these actions still crimes or is this now acceptable behavior in Chattanooga and if so how many more laws have been taken off the books that I’m unaware of?  If these are still crimes this looks like a another slam dunk for the DA.
