Here's my stance. You commit the crime, it's game over. Joe Public or Decorated Cop. It doesn't matter your social, political, cultural, or economic standing. The same rules apply in each case.
As an example.....if you commit a gun crime and murder is involved, you are sentenced to death. If you are a willing accomplice.....you get life.....possibly the death penalty as well. If you are caught with an unregistered weapon, a minimum sentence is handed out. Either way, you will pay the piper. I'm not talking about a cop whos kills the punk in the name of public safety. Those people are the tip of the sword. When they save a life, we praise them. If they don't catch their man, we dump on them. Sometimes these poor buggers can't win.
But when I refer to execution, I'm not talking about lethal injection. I'm talking about hanging, the chair, the guillotine, the gas chamber, the garotte.....which ever method that state or country feels works best for them.
Get tough on the criminal.....better policing.....better trained officers.....and harsher penalties for violent crimes. And that costs public money.....and a lot of it. But that's the price we need to pay, because cutbacks and smaller transfer payments from Washington or Ottawa are turning our streets into war zones.
I'm tired of these new-age socialists that spend over 20 years in University being professional students.....telling the world how to run it's affairs. There was a time when our socities were relatively safe. But in this day and age of Liberal sentiments.....and appointed judges, appointed senates, appointed police chiefs.....as opposed to "Elected" ones that work in the public interest.....we've developed this "blame the Victim" and "let's protect the rights" of the accused attitude. Unfortunately, justice nowadays is about one thing and one thing only. The Law. And that does not deliver justice. Two different things.
Burning question: if you really want change, how many of you actually get behind a political party that represents your views and then goes out and votes come election day? How many? Because that's what sends the message. But most people are too lazy or uninformed or have no interest.....and then we all know what happens next? BOZO and his clowns end up running the show by default. And all are countries are guilty of that, aren't they?
