danger stock on road

You got it guys it’s still pissin’ down

I had a good day at work, my employee worked hard in the  rain and I dodged out and did the “paper work”

The joy’s of being the boss I guess

I let him knock off an hour early and i’ll pay him right through so that shows him that I appreciate his effort

I’ve got the tea on and cooking, sausages in brown onion gravey tonite withe fresh spuds out of the garden

No motorcycling again due to the weather

I was having a laugh at the “Three Strikes You’re OUT” policy

Man we have no room in the prisons now how will it bee if you’ve got a couple of thousnd inmates doing 25yrs before consideration for release???

Theres people getting 17yr minimum parole periods for murdering kids for fuck sake

At that rate it would be easier to kill than to be caught, kill all the witnesses it wont make a difference to your lag

You’re going to end up with prisons full of inmates on maximum security, last I heard it takes about $50,000.oo a year to have a prisoner on “maxi”

so you would end up with a couple of thousand inmates costing $50,000.oo a year to keep for 25 years “MINIMUM” just off the top of my head thas into the $10’s of millions

Thats not counting normal offenders like Blue chip C E O’s or accountants and lawyers etc who only offend once but do jail time, and your average “crim” who is operating in the revolving door prison system that is operating now

What happens when these guy’s finaly are releasd??? how many friends and family have stuck by him for in excess off 25yrs in the prison system???

Dont get me wrong I dont have the answers but I can tell what is not the solution

There are state in the US with the death penalty for some violent crimes as well as murder, 50 year mandatory sentences for drug and gun possesion yet people are still dying from rape and murder, drug dealers still carry fire arms to protect themselves

The harshness of a sentence rarely if ever enters the mind of someone when they are in a rage bashing the missus or the kid

In my experience only hardened offenders think of the “time involved” should they be apprehended for a crime

With the prevelance of “P” in our society now there’s a good chance the “offender” is that “brain fried” they dont know what they are doing let alone the consequences to come from those actions

society wont help itself and admitt to the role alcohol plays in a lot of violent offending either

Violent offending under the influence of alcohol has been around since the discovery of alcohol

The worse thing is that a lot of the violence from drunk offenders is to the family, for every drunken pub fight there has to be at least 3 acts of domestic violence either physical or verbal

But because of the massive tax take from GST etc the goverment is reluctant to catagrrise alcohol as the class A drug that it in reality it is

The police should be fighting the alcohol traders [dealers of death and misery] as much as they chase Heroin and methamphetimine

How many people are killed each year as a direct result of overdoseing on alcohol? how many die on the roads as a direct result of alcohol? how many people are murdered by someone under the influence of alcohol?

You dont have to be a rocket scientist to see that “Threatening” someone with 25 years is going to slow down people with a propencity to violence while under the influence of voilence inducing drugs

Eradicating the violence inducing drugs should be the emphasis

Prison will not make a man less violent, in fact the man has to become voilent in order to “hold his own” among the other inmates, to not himself become a victom, so the most violent men in society just become the most violent men in prison

Then they are released, back to the streets where they can walk into a shop and purchase a drug that has a propencity to make you violent, or talk to a dude on the corner near the shop who can “Hook you up Bro”

To stop this happening you have to change the mans mind set. the things he learned in childhood.

as I said I havn’t got the answers I’m just blown away by how the so called brains of our country will change anything with three strikes you’re out  except cost the tax payer more and make the corrections department the biggest growing industry in the country
