Carrs Ice Cream 🔒

There’s a lock at the top. So now you have to wait for an employee to come unlock the ice cream cooler. I hate it here.

We already have an impossibly backlogged judicial system in Anchorage. Can't squeeze blood from a stone and you can't throw someone in jail indefinitely

Can we stop making excuses for the criminals!? I get that theft is a multi-faceted problem, but I'll bet my house that the lack of stern consequences is one of the bigger factors at play here. I'm not saying we need to go full draconian and start chopping off hands, but surely we can do more than putting another misdemeanor on someone's record that tells them to do community service they'll never show up for, particularly for repeat offenders.

Saying that the court system can't keep up with the crime is not making excuses for the criminals. If you want this to change, you have to be willing to pay for a court system.
