Nah, if you're stupid enough to film yourself while doing crimes you deserve everything you get. And I say that fully condoning these scientology runs.

    "If you go for a walk, you're still running laps around everybody who stayed home on the couch"

    Kids have got to learn how to not make stupid mistakes through practice. In the moment there are way too many things to re-examine and it's natural default habits come back.

    At my first action I parked my bike 50m away and had to pass as an innocent bystander and no-sell the cops to get my bike back. That was stupid of me, but there were dozens of other things I did for the first time that I did a passable job at.

    It's toxic to let mistakes outweigh everything.

    We are talking about a 15-19 year olds here, not little kids. And they are not on death-row, they're probably get fine and/or some community service. Seems quite appropirate as a punishment for being an absolute idiot. I'm standing by it, they deserve that.

    They're victims because they filmed themselves doing something they know is illegal and are now being processed with the evidence they themselves collected? I'm all for these shenanigans, just seems like a silly take to me.

    I understand chastising them for bad opsec. But I draw the line at saying they deserve it. A person not doing anything wrong doesn't deserve to be punished. That makes it seem like the police response is justified and it isn't.
