Apologies for not spelling every single detail out to the letter. I forgot that everyone here takes the absolute least generous interpretation of everything they read. 

So to be specific, this comment chain started under a top level comment (or at least a comment directly copied in multiple places, I don't remember which copy we're under) that talked about how a major problem with public transportation is that there's a increasing risk to passengers of being assaulted or otherwise victimized by this crowd of druggies.

When I was referring to criminals, those people specifically were who I was talking about. That instead of spending taxpayer dollars to essentially bribe people not to commit crimes, effectively making polite society subsidize criminals, we put the criminals to work and wring them for every last penny they can produce such that they're repaying not only their debt to specific victims, but also not living on taxpayer dollars.

And finally, generous interpretation or not, it seems entirely reasonable from my point of view to take offense at someone insinuating that my actual goal is to enslave and kill "certain" people, or whatever their specific wording was. I have him blocked for obvious reasons so I can't just quote it directly. Because fucking obviously I consider that to be a pretty sizable attack on my honor and not the type of interaction I want to have here
