Where you're getting large areas where the rules of law and morality do no prevail, it's essentially like the frontier or a war zone. You can't tame that with gentle methods. I'm saying by trial - not lynchings or other summary executions. And a large part of our political class, being culturally Marxist, sees the society itself and not the criminals as guilty and therefore does not need to punish. They aren't going to put a proper non-deadly deterrent in place because they believe [and not too deep down] that the law-abiding are asking for it.<br /><br />Hence Banned's point about 'life' - they simply aren't trustworthy, and won't bring sentence to grave incarceration back.North Northwesterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10990919627286136085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6910609762453184627.post-90027230297607144232009-10-21T05:44:04.958+01:002009-10-21T05:44:04.958+01:00When they took away Capital Punishment they told u...When they took away Capital Punishment they told us the replacement Life sentence would mean Life.
