Exactly.
Criminals choose. They make they're own choices. Other people don't make, or turn them into criminals.
Meth has been a growing problem here in Montana for about 25 years.
So true.
Didn't Scott Peterson think he would never get caught??
Oh no, I mentioned that case again!! Sorry.
I'm 100 % pro GUN.
That's because if everyone has a gun, the penalty for robbing someone may be death.
The harsher the penalty the less likely People WILL BECOME CRIMINALS.
Thank you for a sane and thoughtful post.
I think your daughters are most fortunate
to have you, and somehow, I truly believe
they would act accordingly if confronted
with a similar situation.
Bless you.
I took judo classes while I was in army electronics school down in Huntsville, Alabama, from this Japanese master who had a studio in town. Maybe I'd grab his arm and try a hip throw. Or maybe I'd just try a good hard chop at his wrist. If it failed, I'd get killed. But it would still be smarter than daring the guy to shoot you so he can prove his manhood.
The combination leads to a high crime rate.
Liberals believe that guns cause crime, therefore more gun control is (always) a good thing.
Liberals play a statistics game. They'll get someone, just not me, they say to themselves.
This leaves only the consequences of the high crime rate: the victims. By necessity, liberals believe that victims must somehow have brought about their own fate.
Police merely enable the crime rate by enforcing gun control. By the time a real crime has occurred, they step in to wash the blood off the sidewalk and write up a report.
Whether or not the quote by the victim is accurate, from the liberal perspective, the blame must be pinned on the victim-- not the laws which makes crime so lucrative.
Do you have that recipe?
Malaysia has the death penalty for the use and sale of narcotics. Hard to find any drugs there:)
Yes.
There will always be criminals,
but there will be more criminals with a lax justice system.
Oh my!
I am shocked indeed!!
Yes, that's what I meant. Sorry.
ALL men are created equal.
I have been in Ventura for over 20 years. I heard of meth, but I thought it was used mostly by the Hells Angels and gangbangers. The last few years, it has moved into the middle, and upper middle classes.
She made big mistake in mouthing of to a mugger with a gun and no skills to back it up.
That's why we have so many.
Violent crimes deserve MUCH
harsher punishments, if only
to keep those persons off the street.
As for a deterent: IF THE DEATH PENALTY MEANT 'DEATH'
that might help, but I am truly interested in getting
laws passed that would put pedophiles in prison for
LIFE on their FIRST CONVICTION.
YES!!!!!
