| Anonymous Coward User ID: 32599202 United States01/24/2013 12:18 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | ... Quoting: Anonymous Coward 31557420 Not. I know for a fact that the castle doctrine in texas allows you to kill someone to prevent them from further destroying your property... I am not pro-vandalism, but there are better ways to handle this... I don't know. I wouldn't want to use that kind of force on anyone over something like vandalism myself and probably not even any sort of theft. Just wouldn't be worth having to go through the process and deal with the aggravation. you're concerned with process and aggravation? What about living with the fact that you took another human's life over some graffiti?? Amazing, isn't it? Look, I may not be all wound up over how precious human life is but I agree that using deadly force in that scenario would be excessive. I wouldn't feel comfortable with it. That aside the process,aggravation and having to sort it all out would be a pain in the ass. Just look at what that fellow in south Texas that made national news who shot two burglars exiting his neighbors house and what he had to go through. He was cleared but the process cost him time,money,media scrutiny and he was for days uncertain as to his fate. That was the point I was making. |

Quoting: violentoppisition police "worked hard" to catch this kid? someone needs to help this kid, AND at the same time put that cop and judge in for his sentence, then 1 year for every life they have wrecked. this whole thing is so fucked up i want to doubt that it is real. THAT IS NOT JUSTICE $7000 of damage, and 8 years back to back no parole. people get away with crazier shit than that everyday. poor kid Go back and look at the video there were other crimes. Marijuana possession... no crime there. Unfortunately it is in Texas; in the video the judge said 3 felony mj charges which is probably what made the sentence so unreasonably long. Judge does appear to be a real tight-ass. Maybe she's running for another office or gets a kickback from the local privately owned prison.

Quoting: Useless Cookie Eater Singapore has an UBER low crime rate. Why? People like Mr Graffiti Tagger get tied to a a post and CAINED for with 5 or more lashes depending on the severity of the offense. Are you familiar with the arguments that tie Singapore's low crime rate to their high abortion rates and aggressive sterilization programs? That's some controversial stuff: [link to furrybrowndog.wordpress.com] Most importantly, the anti-natalist policies in Singapore were specifically targeted at low-income and lower-educated groups, which are recognised as demographic groups more likely to turn to crime. Meanwhile as Singapore’s crime rate fell throughout the 1990s and 2000s, so too did its fertility rate, in part ensuring crimes would stay low decades in the future. [link to www.freakonomics.com] |
