Criminal rights have sent our country downhill since the late 1960s

Shamelessly bumping my own thread
because I hope someone cares.

I understand criminal rights when one is framed or innocent so please don't get me wrong.

once convicted a criminal loses it's rights...and those loss of rights should vary with the severity of the crime. Losing your freedom is not enough as we see convicts laughing at the system. Prisons should be places of hard labor, desperate fear and extreme suffering for the convict. You must run a prison with severe force and brutal military discpline for them to be a deterent. The criminal must fear prison as he does death. I guarantee you that those who survive a 5 year prison term and rejoin society will be reformed.

I agree. Unfortunately it's not like that here.

The "best friend" of my cousin claimed he accidentally killed him while playing cowboys and Indians.
Truth was they didn't play anything.
They rode bikes, motorcycles and played pool.
I heard he was suppose to testify to a arson he'd witnessed which killed some kids.

Come on more people talk about it! Please?

Can someone tell me why we allow inmates to lift weights? When they get out they are even stronger and can do more damage. It makes no sense.

A small cell. Bread and water. No tv. No nothing. That's what prison should be.

Sorry to hear about this.
What nobody can explain to me is how someone who willfully takes the life of another for whatever personal gain should be afforded rights? For what reason?

I heard some people say that it reinforces their own Humanity and makes them feel good for feeling so merciful, yet very seldom do you find these higher beings at Victim Support Groups - most of the people at VSG's are firm believers in vengeance. Mercy is the province of the Unaffected. On a Macro scale imagine if the USA said lets afford terrorists rights or Israel decided that after the murder of their Citizens to be reasonable and have an 'Investigation' and a trial, and then to give 'terrorosits' who are just criminals, rights. The US government shows how a criminal threat is properly dealt with (Sadam Hussein, Osama bin Laden and Ghadhafi)yet the rules are different for the little folk somehow. Some 'leaders' they are..

He^ begs people to respond to his topic. Now that people have, the cocksucker doesn't want to reply.

You mean she. And people should care!

Thank you for caring.
