I read in the news today yet another story in the news today about a defenceless old lady who had been beaten to death in her house.  This kind of thing really turns my stomach.

Elderly person

It is absolutely disgusting to think that there are people out there that can actually carry out that level of violence on a frail old person who in no way could fight back or defend themselves.  Locking these thugs up and throwing away the key would be too good for them.  If ever there was a chance of bringing back the death penalty, then I think this would be the kind of crime that would probably merit such a severe punishment.

The lady in the news article I mentioned couldn’t even walk properly anymore.  She lived in a small community and was loved and respected by everyone, and yet these cowards saw fit to taker her life.  What kind of a person could do such a thing?  I’ll tell you what kind of person they are, they’re scumbags, nothing but degenerate lowlife and I would happily pay more tax if I thought more could be done to rid our society of these people.

We need to spend more money on policing and protecting the old and vulnerable.  All too often you hear about yobs that attack the elderly, then get off scot-free and are immune from prosecution because of their age.  Their punishment amounts to a slap on their wrists and this is where the real trouble begins.  Children need to be better educated and taught to respect the elderly because we can’t go on like this.

We all have parents and grandparents and we’re going to be old and vulnerable ourselves one day.  Please let’s do something to stamp out this evil and despicable crime against old people.

"What happens if a burglar/intruder is caught on the wire and an artery is severed?"

Assuming it isn't a child going for a ball, then the scumbag that wants to steal your belongings that you've worked thousands of hours to earn, so that he or she can sell them or have them for themselves deserve to be severely hurt. That may be a deterant.

I was a teacher in New York, but I quit and became a stockbroker. My students had become so out-of-control it was impossible to teach, and please don't believe what you saw in the films COACH CARTER, FREEDOM WRITERS, or TAKE THE LEAD. There are no "miracle" teachers who can turn these kids around.

90% of the problem is the parents, who are clueless or just don't feel like being the parent. The fathers are nowhere to be found, and the mothers have one kid after another by different men (none of whom pay child support or see their kids).

But I know part of the root of the problem:

1. There was a spike in teenage pregnancies in the 1990's. My students were all born around that time. They're all angry, fatherless, and their mothers may be on drugs, so they're often raised by relatives. They have no stable family unit. Kids like that don't learn right from wrong. That's why I often gave the kids literature about birth control. I think we're making some progress there.

2. You'd think the parents would say "you want Nikes, then get a job and pay for them." But no, the parents spoil the kids rotten and expect nothing in return. Only one of my students had a part-time job, so I brought in a stack of job applications from Starbucks, McDonalds, Gap, Old Navy, Haagen Daz, etc. None of them turned in their applications. Parent need to be convinced not to give their kids Ipods, cell phones, Xboxes, or other doodads unless the kids get good grades or pay for it htemselves.

I lived in Britain from 1987-1992. Things weren't great back then, but I hear it's worse now. Remember the "Millers" family from "East Enders"? When families are like that, the kids are bound to turn out bad.

Michael, I would not wish any harm to become of anyone. Do we or, do we not have police in this country. Is this what they are paid to do, crime prevention and solve crime. Do we have an alternate service other than the police? No, we do not. Until the day we do, am afraid the police is all we have. Unless, you have any suggestions, a solution to the problem, lynchmob perhaps?

You'll have to do what the rest of us have to do.... Sit and suck on it.

As long as you don't go hurting any burglars you just may stay away from the Courthouse.

Jeremy would rather see a frail 93yo pensioner terrified and robbed of everything she has worked for all her life. Than think of a burglar caught on barb wire protecting the pensioner from these thugs.
With this thinking this is why the thugs are winning.
This is why so many pensioners are attacked and killed with knives and strangled.

Ladies and Gents, the time has come to stock up your armoury and keep your Alsations by your side. Protect what's yours and what you've worked hard for. Don't rely on the law to protect you for this is just not going to happen, doesn't work like that. When it comes down to it, it's either you or them.

The first degenerate deadbeat I catch on my property, I'll feed them to the dogs.

And oh, It's better to have guns and not need them to need guns and not have them.

"Ruby Barber 93yo has been told by Officials at Northampton Borough Council she would have to remove the barbed wire at her home in Ryehill in case burglars who tried to climb in were injured. The council has also told another resident she cannot use anti-climb paint for the same reason"

I have to go with the Council on this one and I believe they have made the right call. You can't go around putting up barbed wire around your home. What happens if a burglar/intruder is caught on the wire and an artery is severed? They may not be anyone around to assist and give first aid treatment which may result in death.

Not many people realize there are over 75 pensioners killed by burglars, muggers and some of these killers are teenagers 13yo, 14yo and 15yo

So you don't believe there's any connection between their background and the crime whatsoever, is that what you're saying?

I dont believe some people. I was sexually abused as a child, beaten as a child. And also had an alcoholic mother. But have I ever been out there and hurt any one, no I haven't. I hate all those excuses, It bugs me. How about personal responsability eh?

Also, pit bulls aren't people they're animals, its different with human beings, you don't kill people for killing, it's a logical contradiction.

By the way.. I never said "they have a right to do it", as you put there. Ever.
*A Sad Slapper  01-Jan-2007 22:45

 
So you don't think their upbrining has anything to do with it...at all..is that right?
