Actually, the primary message here is redistribution of wealth through busywork bureaucracy and vote-buying.
Remember,as a prison guard you get all the benefits of salary,pension, medical care and benefits you would get in the real world with half the competency required in most jobs with equivalent pay.
Who would you rather guard? An ordinary docile civilized citizen who mostly obeys the rules and is unlikely to cause trouble or a vicious felon who is usually smarter, meaner and more capable than you even(or especially) when he/she is under the influence of mind altering drugs?
If you guard the docile civilized citizen you get all the benefits of taking on "a necessary societal task" without any of the danger of engaging in real work.
Naturally, you vote for the politician or party who can best confer these benefits upon you.
Straighten up, Judge! What you are saying then is that the burglary is acceptable!!!
Which is a major flaw in the system. The notion that you should allow yourself to be a passive victim in society while the local cops refuse to do anything more constructive to clean up your neighborhood than sit around in the donut shop is a major contributing factor to the decay of certain areas of the country. Criminals know they can basically depredate at will in certain cities and as long as they don't cross over that magic legal line that justifies lethal force for the peons, they can have a nice, productive criminal career. I'm always amazed when I read of these scum getting arrested for rape or murder and the news account mentions that they were "arrested 17 times before on various charges ranging from larcenty to assault" yet he was somehow still out on the streets, with good people legally impotent to do a thing about it.
As a citizen I refuse to play by their rules and instructions of guilt or innocence when their rules are unjust. Evidently alot of other people feel the same way, thus the attempt to over rule and do away with jury trials.
Frank, ordinary cops are sometimes punished severely for the “use of force” – observe the latest video tape case in LA.
…………….. BUT……………
… let us contrast that to the FBI agent who shot the Maryland guy in the face as he rode home from the mall with his girlfriend. He was not suspended; he was not even given a letter of reprimand, even though this was his second shooting! The Federal Police definitely are immune from the law – the definition of a Police State.

And your attitude is EXACTLY why we have multiple offenders walking the streets praying on innocent citizens. Boneheads like you sitting on a Jury, listening to some Bleeding heart telling you how poor Jerome had a bad upbringing, so he should be able to rape and pillage throughout the City. Boo hoo only give him probation, cause he is the father to 15 children and he needs to be free to steal to support them.
You become a victim of more than one crime by the these kinds individuals and watch as the Local Doughnut Cavalry rides in to say, "Bummer, unless we see him doing in there isn't much we can do. Were not going to put a detective on something like this. If it happens again call us. "(At the Local Dunkin Doughnut Shop)
Have one of the Slugs of society decide to target you or your family and then lets see how you feel. Expecially when their little pillage is interrupted and someone gets hurt. (like You)
As one that has experienced being the victim of this Bullshit....Texas has it right, Shoot the SOB's on SITE!
Good observation.
If "Justice" is the goal, the Vigilante and Mafia justice systems deliver better justice than our currently perverted "justice" courts.
Um, I'll just say it like it is. My stereo that I worked hard for is worth more to me than a criminal's life is.
Of course that's the liberal jurists message. That is what keeps those judges employed and in power.
Well, you once could, before the criminal was granted license to steal by liberal judges.
"The yellow haired lady was buried at sunset,
The stranger went free, of course,
'cause you can't hang a man
for killing a woman
who's tryin to steal his horse."
(from "The Red-Headed Stranger", Willie Nelson)
I like that old song. ahaha
Remember it was in the Bronx that the Leftwing lawyer obtained the $46,000,000 judgment against Bernard Goetz for defending himself effectively on the Subway. Anyone who does not have to, who goes into the Bronx, must be a little bit insane.
