Think Progress Cucked-Out, Tucked-Under Soyboy: The Chicago Woman Who Shot The Gun-Wielding Robber Who Held Her Up at Gunpoint Should Have Just Let Him Rob Her (and Maybe, Who Knows, Rape Her Too If That Is What His Young Heart Desired)

Shut the fuck up you miserable puddle of gooey sticky stinking failure.

When Zack Ford isn't saying ignorant, sheltered soyboy bullshit about self-defense, he's engaging in Science Denialism in order to rapidly cheerlead for Transgenderism For Everybody!

13 It was a Sexton piece. He's the best at Hot Air.

And I'm convinced that he should be encouraged, so they give space to more like him. It can have a gravitational pull. Mirengoff, at Power Line has decidedly Never Trump tendencies. But the others seem to keep his tropism to Allahpunditry in check.

60 Ah, the money quote, "The penalty for theft is not death, nor do we want it to be."

This is not about 'penalties' it is about preventing a forceable felony, and in some (if not most) states the law allows lethal force to be used to stop a forceable felony (what that is varies by state).

Penalty is after the act has been stopped.

104 This discussion brings up a important point. If armed robbery is not a capital offense, why not? Years ago when punishment was much harsher, for example death for stealing silver, crime rates were much lower.

This modern view of rehabilitation of criminals has failed miserably. Go back to hanging. It is cheap, quick, and the recidivism rate is zero.

Perhaps in this neglected spot is laid
Some heart once pregnant with celestial fire;
Hands, that the rod of empire might have sway'd,
Or waked to ecstasy the living lyre:

But Knowledge to their eyes her ample page,
Rich with the spoils of time, did ne'er unroll;
Chill Penury repress'd their noble rage,
And froze the genial current of the soul.

Full many a gem of purest ray serene
The dark unfathom'd caves of ocean bear:
Full many a flower is born to blush unseen,
And waste its sweetness on the desert air.

Yup. And if you're willing to kill, you're probably willing to do anything else. Take my money, take *me,* rape me, whatever.

This is the fundamental problem with crime and punishment. If intend to commit the ultimate crime (murder), any other crime I commit to advance that crime is *free.* You can only put the needle in my arm once. If I want to (or am willing to) murder, there are no other checks that work besides deadly force - I've already made up mind and I never have to pay for any enabling crime because you can't kill me more than once.

Another one to check out is Goldsmith's Deserted Village. They make clear one thing. Though more overtly class-divided than ours, titled nobility and all, they understood the source of our current discontents better than our current leaders.

I forgot to paste a quote:

Ill fares the land, to hastening ills a prey,
Where wealth accumulates, and men decay:
Princes and lords may flourish, or may fade;
A breath can make them, as a breath has made;
But a bold peasantry, their country's pride,
When once destroyed, can never be supplied.
A time there was, ere England's griefs began,
When every rood of ground maintained its man;
For him light labour spread her wholesome store,
Just gave what life required, but gave no more:
His best companions, innocence and health;
And his best riches, ignorance of wealth.
But times are altered; trade's unfeeling train
Usurp the land and dispossess the swain;
Along the lawn, where scattered hamlets rose,
Unwieldy wealth and cumbrous pomp repose;
And every want to oppulence allied,
And every pang that folly pays to pride.

Posted by: Eeyore at January 15, 2019 09:24 PM (VaN/j)

189 The problem with the death penalty is it isn't used enough when it should be. When you execute one guy every 10 years there is a whole new generation of criminals who don't see it as a deterrent.

Rehabilitation has failed.

People can talk about punishment, then it should be punishment, not "rehabilitation".

A couple years hard labor 'punishment' for armed robbery (assuming harm to others) may 'rehabilitate' better than ten years lounging around, taking turns raping each other, and getting your GED and diploma mill BA in psychology.

For those that do harm to others, a few years hard then restitution (do unto others) just before being 'paroled'. No public dole while on parole, so if you need some medical care for your restitution you can ask to be readmitted to the prison hospital until you heal up.

If you already aren't on the email chain, and can use your favorite app to find the Marco Polo, you are hereby invited! Try the pressure fried chicken, it's the best in the City.

This is an initial planning session, not an actual MoMe, that will involve drinking, and more planning to create more drinking opportunities for fellow Morons. Our priorities are correct, I believe.

So Diogenes, if you leave PLU at 5pm, and a train from Chicago leaves at 3am the night before, and you are going 55 miles an hour because you are going against the afternoon traffic, we would see you even if you got there late, because we will probably be there for many an hour.

The purpose of our judicial system has become a state instrument not to
protect the citizens from the criminals, but rather to protect the
criminals and bureaucrats from the citizens!

It's an industry and it behaves like any corporation. Its goal is to grow and become as large and as profitable as possible. Its responsibility is to the people who run it.

Don't throw it out, load a LINUX distro (distrowatch.com) on it and play with it for a while. I refurbed an estate sale laptop and its not a bad little machine (like I needed another computer in the house). The new battery and disk drive cost 10x the yard sale laptop cost, but it was still cheap entertainment.

294 How did she get herself a concealed carry permit in Chicago?
Posted by: Jean at January 15, 2019 09:26 PM (sFO1P)

Okay, this is coming from memory so not highly reliable, but IL got dick slapped by the SC over their carry laws and it is now somewhat doable.

My friend got his a couple of years ago. You need to first get your FOID, then take a 16 hour approved training course to qualify for a CCW, plus the license fee itself. It cost him several hundred bucks overall.

He did all this cuz a large fella showed up at place of business after hours, rattling the locked front door and demanding to be let in.

300 Gaah. Stupid Chase sent my cc almost a year early and I mis-laid it. So I had to call and report "lost" and get a new one. No biggie except my pre-paid cellphone was on the old card and while their compute *says* I already have an online acct. and I have a password scribbled for it I can't login. And it says my email does not match. So I do the guest checkout but it seems that only bought one month, they will probably still try to auto-bill the old card too. Oh well maybe they will give me an option to reach actual customer service at that point. First world problems as they say.
