So you dont think we cant beat it out of em to at least make em think twice before they hold up the corner store ? ... and that the criminals will come around eventually and become productive citizens by our " no consequence " stance in regards to the liberties that thay take on society as a whole ? ...

the only problem with that thinking is ... well ... it does not work !

and it only really hits home when you or your loved ones become victim to one of these people that you try so hard to protect. Remember who LAWS are trying to protect here is the " innocent " victims ... you are more concerned for the " rights " of the offender ...

the way I see it is if someone goes to the trouble to plan and then execute an offence then we also have to assume that he/she has weighed the consequences for such actions ... what we as a society then have to do is to make sure that this does not happen is to make sure that the consequences are such that they dont want to go to/back to jail ... EVER

Now there are lots of ways to try and avoid people screwing up in the first place through education in schools and so on but the poll was what to do with them " after " they get caught.
