I'm all for vengeance but it just seems ironic and unfortunate that Johnny Boi will almost inevitably get out of prison sometime in the next 2 years more hardened and better equipped to be a complete fuckup, undoubtedly progressing to even stupider but possibly more violent and disruptive crimes. Just saying.
- varjag 16y agoSo, the better option for dealing this thief would be...?
- ergo98 16y agoCommunity service. Monitored parole. Work programs... The guy stole a backpack from an unlocked car with visual valuables. Police in my area once tried to make it a crime to have visible valuables inside of a vehicle, locked or not, because it encouraged crimes of opportunity by casual criminals. It essentially wasted their time. This guy wasn't going to pass the car by and then decide to murder an old lady.
- Gormo 16y agoHow about tattooing the word "thief" across his forehead?
- varjag 16y agoYes, he just stole other person's belongings. Sure, the lady was teasing him with her unlocked car. Just like the one before her I guess - he was already on probation.
- ergo98 16y agoThere is a gradient of criminality, and committing a non-violent crime of opportunity (where he even discarded much of the proceeds) is pretty low on the scale. Yet now the justice system is going to spend tens of thousands of dollars+ incarcerating him, and the net result will be that his options after being released will lean even more heavily towards criminality.
