Negro men highlighted from all other ethnic groups? That just doesn't seem right for some reason. If there is going to be a particular group pointed out, maybe we should be able to see a list of all ethnic groups to include Muslims, Latins, Asians, etc.

Drug dealers and drug users do not need to go to prison; they just need to have their illegal drugs confiscated. If they resist violently in the confiscation process, or if they break the law in any other way, then, let them suffer the consequences. Otherwise, they can be let go without creating a record on their resume. What a concept...

Result: Less cost to the taxpayer, less men and women in our prisons, and less poisons taken into their bodies.

Another important approach for those already in prison: Make sure they have every Constitutional right in prison as they would on the outside. After all, how can we expect them to assimilate into a society that has rights, when we do not uphold their rights and show them the way we want them to live when and if they are free again (that is what rehabilitation is meant to be). In other words, stealing is wrong on the outside, it is also wrong in prison, killing is wrong on the outside, as well as in prison. Why not vigorously implement this approach within the prison system?

The writer Frank Herbert had an idea:

Bring back corporal punishment for most crimes, capital punishment for the worst stuff.

A public flgging, i.e. behind the courthouse or something for most offenses.

Make crimes like rape, and murder capital crimes, punishable by death.

Most jails would disappear.

Jails are not a burden on the taxpayer, anymore than any other public service.

...I only bring it up to provoke thought, but, I'd have to debate who, is actually in the dark ages i.e. the nation who has a lopsided justice system like the USA, and Europe or some of the more practical one's where they do not have a Constitution being used as a suicide pact.

In the US, crime and criminality was 'diseasized' by the libnazi movement of the 1960's ostensibly because they had such a penchent for breaking the law, they felt the need to socialize the criminal justice system to facilitate their own needs. In my town, we actually built a new jail we are incapable of running, due to funding. How's that for a city that calls itself 'the city that works'?????

Peace love dope...huh?

Like the myth of privacy, the socialists, as in prewar Europe, quit punishing crime as an institutional practice, turned jails from self sufficent institutions into human warehouses, established 'sentencing guidelines' (really done to facilitate overcrowding) removing judicial decision making and got us where we are today.

Add to this a drug culture promoted by that special generation, organized crime, coddled by the likes of folks like the Clintons, illegal immigration and the gangs it has fostered, and you have one huge criminal justice sh-t sandwich which everyone now must take a big bite.

I hope no one likes bread, because in this sandiwich, there isn't any. Thanks a pantload.

Some day, folks are just going to want it dealt with.

You'd know ALL about the drug culture, wouldn't you, seeing as how you're both a smoker AND a grower. Watch out, druggie, the DEA is watching you.

None of that makes me wrong, either. Time for you to take off the tinfoil hat. The aliens are only in your mind.

Oh, you stupid, stoned, stunned supercilious twit. You are the one with aliens in the head. You should take off the tinfoil hat as well, that way you might see the DEA at your door. As for not being wrong, you are seriously screwed in the head. Drugs do that, you know. They screw the perceptions and yours are right out to lunch. Ergo, you ARE wrong.
