Turns out the people who jump the turnstiles of subways are way more likely to commit violence or vandalism than paying riders. For years the Left said fare enforcement efforts were a waste of money, turns out they were wrong.

I'd be curious whether these people would still commit vandalism at the same rate if the subways were free in the same way that roads are free. And if so, I'd presume there would exist a good way to catch them for vandalism rather than jumping turnstiles?

It would be interesting to know if the problems simply moved elsewhere. Why pay to vandalize when you can vandalize somewhere else for free?

Definitely worth shooting innocent bystanders over
