I have been remiss of posting lately so I thought I'd write about something that would stir up some strong feelings.
I think that as far as the court room goes thing are pretty much alright up until we get to the punishment phase of things. I think that we go to soft on criminals. Some of the changes that I think that we should make are as follow.
1. Someone that has commited murder and had their two appeals should be walked out into the courtyard and shot not taken back to jail for God knows how long costing taxpayer more money.
2. Anybody that has been convicted three times for the same offense a.k.a. three strikes should be shot as they have proven that they will not be reabilitated.
Yes I see that the above changes would in the short term certainly cause a raise in homicides and sucides as well as endangering people more especially police because criminals will do everything they can not to be caught but in the long term I believe that the drop in all crime rates would be dramatic. Yes I am also aware that the Justice system makes mistakes and innocent people get convicted. For that reason people get their appeals but we have to face facts we are human and make mistakes but not dealing with crimes such as these in a harsh manner is the biggest mistake being made.
