CRIME hits home.........

I disagree with that statement. He did not need to pull a gun. He needed to discern the situation. He needed to know he was a mark, and was about to get jacked. You have to know when something is going down. If he had, maybe he could have reacted better and fought the guy/guys off.

Ryan Your starting to see the light.

Help them young and get rid of the bad apples. We can not save everyone.

You're a trip.

However, If the state ever gave some of you the opportunity to prosecute criminals, you guys are staunch enough and pro-punishment enough---to handle the job very well.....

You'd have every criminal awaiting the gas chamber.

Gassing is expensive and death row costs even more. Rope & Tree is a one-time fee.

no Ryan I wouldn't

I have spent time with kids with criminal records, and some young adults.

I have seen it before and if I ever help again I will see it again. Some people I won't give up on but I won't expect many to make it and change the way they think. It takes a big person to change their views and charactersitics that got them in trouble. I wouldn't send everyone to the gas chamber, but bet your ass if you took someones life in a cold blooded way, had no remorse that was noticeable and were convicted I'd save the gass, and just drown their asses in a bucket of water to save some money.

Street smarts is only part of it. 2-1 odds is not very good for someone who does not fight on a daily basis. More money for law enforcement will only line the pockets of those who run the depts.

Right here in Phoenix, AZ the North patrol district is short something like 400 officers. The major stated that just because we are short does not mean we are going to lower our standards. If you have dabbled in drugs you won't get hired. If you have tried pot three times in your life you are permanently disqualified from being hired by them.

But, if you are a dropout, with a ged, and the bottom of the gene pool you will be hired. I can't tell you how many cops I have seen and worked with that should only be driving atari's, not squad cars and attempting to enforce the law.

So, you see, more money won't help. The dept's believe they need perfect people (those who have never done something wrong in their life) if you will for an anology, the blue-eyed, blonde haired, german. What a joke. Most cops are cops because they could not get hired anywhere else. Shit most, can't even write a complete sentence without a dozen grammer/spelling mistakes.

WHY DOES THE RACE OF THE ASSAILANTS MATTER? YOU DID NOT HAVE TO MENTION THE RACE. IT CONTRIBUTES NOTHING TO THIS CONVERSATION EXCEPT FOR YOUR CLEARLY RACIST BELIEFS.
-Warik

Who said he was being racist? He just described them as african american. They coulda been any race, he coulda said they were wearing orange vests, or had pimples on their noses. Now, if he called them niggers, that might be a little racist. And Warik, do you think he's implying that most criminals are of African decent? That would be just insane to think that!

 

[Jeff_rys]

i am with you YellowD

"WHY DOES THE RACE OF THE ASSAILANTS MATTER? YOU DID NOT HAVE TO MENTION THE RACE. IT CONTRIBUTES NOTHING TO THIS CONVERSATION EXCEPT FOR YOUR CLEARLY RACIST BELIEFS"

Being from Europe and from a distance maybe i see it differently.

No, the race should be mentionned. This is NOT being racial. If it where whites, it where whites. if black then black. Saying that it where men is racial too then????

 

[YellowD]

No, saying they were men is prejudice

This country is very violent. I moved here from Switzerland in 92 and have been in multiple fights and have ended up in the emergency room. I have had my nose broken and my throat split open to the point were I suffocated and barely came back to life. I also have had a guy stick a pistol in my mouth in DC(residence). In Switzerland I have never in my life encountered a fight even though we are all trained soldiers with life time military duty and year round combat training. We even bring our machine guns home and fire nationally 2 million rounds a year for fun and practice on the weekends. Why is it that even though every home in Switzerland is armed with automatic weapons that we are so peaceful and respectful to each other. Why is that the people here in the US are so violent and disrespectful to each other? This is from my observation of my 9 year stay here in the states. (Ryan I hear you!)
