We need to get back to old frontier, hang them on the courthouse steps, and let them swing for 3 days so their partners get to see just what might happen to them justice. Inconsequential crime and arrests don't deter folks with bad habits. That's kind of like "Time out".
Well Pete, it sure satisfies some of us envisioning someone paying a heavy price for crime these days. Even it is pure fantasy.?!
I agree with citizens having the means and legal wherewithal to protect themselves from crime. I'm just asking folks to view these kinds of media with some skepticism about their true intent. I'm happy to be wrong. It could very well have been meant as a joke by an innocuous fool.
It isn't presented as fiction. It was presented as an actual event. My concern was simply the reactionary intent. I did not call anyone here out as a fool, unless the author himself is a member.
I did not realize there was a "Humor" section. That makes me the fool, here. I apologize to all whom I may have offended. Stupid of me, and I pray you will forgive me. In particular, @Phil Rizzo and @Quintus. Sorry, fellas.
No harm done, at all.
No worries Mr. Morton. Your original analysis of the story is probably spot on, but in a world of catch and release and the constant protests of the sheep dog by the sheep while the wolf eats and laughs, I'll still take the story as presented here.
I can tell you that the campground story (#53 reply) was not fake news. I handled that complaint and would not have changed anything this guy got. This is the U.S.A., however in my opinion due to all of the freedoms afforded this country's citizens "respect" for others has been watered down to the point where it is digustjng and demoralizing! Do you want a perfect example of what I am writing here, just jump into your car and drive down the highway. The joke is that the universal signal is the "bird" and is the only bird that does not have wings that can travel 60 mph. Victims of child abuse are not just molested at the time of the molestation and it is over, that molestation for most victims is a lifetime scar!! Notice the final sentence of my reply, that the attempted solicitation of young children for money stopped in that campground!! Sometimes "street justice" is the only justice in this country today due to all of the freedoms this country provides.
Anyone that molests a child deserves the death penalty. Period! It should rank right up there with murder. Or above it. Rape should bring the death penalty as well.. and don't sentence them and feed them 25 years if they are absolutely guilty. Just hang or shoot them and feed them to the hogs. Or sharks. There are more crimes that deserve the same. Even long rap sheets should be considered. Maybe a 3 strikes rule. This same thing might just help with prison overcrowding
