Ok, how 'bout we find an island.. like say Alcatraz. Dump them there, they can fight it out themselves, grow their own food etc... NO HELP from taxpayers. Heck, i'd DONATE for that to happen. Too many prisoners have it WAY too easy in jail/prison. And serving 1/3 of a sentence..... no wonder they come out and do it again. Question is, WHY are we allowing it to happen? Why do criminals have more rights than victims?
And i do understand that innocents live in these areas.... and those innocent MEN need to step up and protect their families and MAKE the streets safer. If they supported the police and volunteered, helped whatever, TAKE BACK THE NEIGHBORHOOD. It can happen. There is a way out if they want... they just have to work for it. And unfortunately we are a VERY VERY lazy country these days. Its all about the excuses.
edited to add: I've managed rentals in areas like these. I know these people. I've helped some of them. These are places Where i was told by police NOT to go after dark.. etc. And when i went during the day, i was armed, legally. And what totally pizzed me off was those very same people that 'wanted out' and proclaimed to want to better themselves wouldn't have their rent money, but had nails done, extensions, beer, alcohol, nice cars.... but it was a fight every month to get rent out of them. And these were CHEAP places. 450/mo. and they didn't lack for what they WANTED, but didn't feed the kids, went to food kitchen for free meals, yet had a fridge full of beer/wine/etc. EVERY single time. I'd take clothes for the kids... would take sandwiches and snack packs for them, but once I heard the 'woe is me' over and over and over yet saw the same people partying nonstop, you just have to say NO MORE. I hated evicting people with kids... and called CPS more than once. And what i always heard was 'You don't understand cuz you got a good job and money and stuff'. Yes, i did... and at one point i was a single mom working 3 jobs and lost everything twice and had to rebuild from zero. But i got off my azz and did it. No one helped me but ME. If I could do it, at least 75% of those women/men could do it too. Its called hard work and sacrifice.
The US incarcerates more people than anyone.http://thinkprogress.org/justice/20...nited-states-had-even-more-prisoners-in-2013/
The problem is that incarceration is incredibly expensive. We cannot afford it. Something has to change. Schools need to have different approaches to dealing with kids. Not,shaming and punishing. Smaller class sizes. Parenting classes starting in elementary school, perhaps?
Jobs and things for kids to do. After school programs. More men mentoring boys.
Sexual abuse is a big issue as girls who are sex abused end up often having kids around age 13- 14. They have more kids as they are searching for love. Each man leaves them. The girl drops out of school.
We have to turn this around not by becoming more and more weaponized and militarized, but starting with infants. We have to provide hope in life. But the more money we spend on incarceration, the less we have for other initiatives.
Some people do sign up for the military so dying may not be such a deterrent. I think it may become very difficult to get new police. Who would want to do the job in these days.
Three in Custody!!! Great News!!!!
BBM. So what should be done with the three people who killed this officer, if not incarceration?
Agree! agree! agree! Very not PC, but I don't give two craps anymore.Shoot a cop.. Automatic death penalty.. carried out within 12 months of sentencing. Get rid of these as#h$le@. And i wouldn't blame ANY cop for NOT going into gang/****/hoodrat (yes i said it) areas. Let them all kill each other. Black, White, Hispanic, Martian, whatever. Time to take out the trash. My patience with lifetime criminals with long rap sheets and NOT getting get of of jail free/early is over. What happened to the third strike rule? UGH. Ready to move to an isolated island and live with the animals.
I am so following you.Ok, how 'bout we find an island.. like say Alcatraz. Dump them there, they can fight it out themselves, grow their own food etc... NO HELP from taxpayers.
