Convict this piece of shit, take him to the courthouse basement, shoot him in the back of the head, and charge his family for the bullet.

If he is convicted, and the penalty under the law is that he be shot at the courthouse, how is that the act of a lynch mob?Quote from hapaboy:
Convict this piece of shit, ...

LOL! Ah yes, how else are moderators like yourself supposed to find out if someone is flaming, seeing how you're so busy and all and can't be looking at all the posts on Chit Chat....Quote from resinate:
And, you are singularly responsible for choosing to flame rather than complain.
Very choosy in what you decide to delete, aren't you Res?Quote from resinate:
To answer your other question, I was reading the thread, not responding to a complaint.
Quote from g222:
And again, here's the rub: the public - which sadly includes the victims - have to pay for the housing and incarceration of these predators!!! What's wrong with this picture ???? But ponder this:
The assets of certain types of criminals are automatically confiscated and later sold at auction. The proceeds are then devided up between participating law enforcement agencies for use in fighting crime (yeah, right - but that's another thread!).
Instead, confiscate ALL the assets of All criminals. Liquidate thru consignment to maximize returns and use the proceeds to fund their incarceration. Tie this in with automatic 100 year terms for first time felons with sentence reduction credits available for good behavior, completed education/vocational training goals and other acts that would indicate the prisoner's interest and intent on becoming a contributing member ov society. Upon parole, use this fund to provide them with a loan, monitored and used to help get them started once again.
As for the violent predators ... it is good indeed that we show them love and compassion - so long as we don't turn our backs on them. But we should not have to live like this. We should NEVER have to concern ourselves with the consequences of a predator's early release or escape - EVER !!
What a pathetic creature.Quote from Rearden Metal:
The creature has mentioned things it has done, as an adult, in the early 1970's.
Quote from whitster:
rearden, fwiw i am vehemently against the criminalization of mj, and i think many aspects of the drug war are very bad policy.
however...
with that in mind, the VAST majority of those in jail/prison for drug offenses do not get there for simple possession of marijuana (unless it's a metric a**load of marijuana)
that is a total NORML'esque exaggeration
generally speaking, those that go to prison/jail for marijuana possession offenses have (at least one) of the following
1) already on parole for something else
2) dealing large quantities
3) lengthy criminal record, etc
i don't think ANYBODY should go to jail for possession of mj, but the facts is the facts. somebody has to really WORK at going to jail (beyond the overnight type stay) for possession of mj,
Quote from Rearden Metal:
No disrespect for you or your family, but any talk about tough measures towards <b>all</b> criminals is <b>very premature</b> at this point.
The U.S. currently holds 400,000 political prisoners who are not criminals at all, but only prohibition violators.
In 2004, there were more marijuana possession arrests than violent crime arrests.

End prohibition, release all the political prisoners, and only then will it be appropriate to discuss harsher measures against the (real) criminals.
