Stop the criminals.

Make committing a crime so dangerous to the life span and quality of life of the perp that going straight is the only future he wants.

Go back a millenia, public stocks, physical marking, and prisons that were hell on earth.

Focus on a two parent home and education. Most in drug crime business have not had either growing up.

People ate always going to do whatever they want and then try to justify their actions by blaming others for their bad behavior.

Legalizing drugs will cause more DUIs and innocent people will suffer the consequences.

Solve selfishness instead.

Bwtter idea: Let's Go back to having the highest incarceration rate and not giving a shite about it. Violent crime plummeted when we started the zero tolerance, 3 strikes, and mandatory sentencing.

"Criminal justice reform" was a huge mistake.

I admit I bought into for a bit there, too. I was wrong.

The Only Way To Reduce Crime Substantially
1. Start getting fathers involved in their children’s lives as babies, women need to stop getting pregnant by losers, and stop having unwanted kids people can’t support.
2. Enforcing discipline and consequences at a young age.
3. Focusing on education and hard work.
4. Putting effort into raising children to be decent human beings.

I’ve been a big proponent of legalizing all drugs. All of them. Make crystal meth, heroin, cocaine, crack, Oxy’s available at any place that tobacco and alcohol are sold. With the way Fentanyl is creeping into the supply, the way it’s being used to cut product, I think it would be a responsible step to get ahead of it and eliminate its purpose. Purpose being to eliminate dealers profits...check that, eliminate 99% of the dealers, eliminate their profits.
I’m also an advocate for putting people under jails, public hangings and firing squads. Yes, there will be a spike in OD’s and deaths. It will drift up, spike, and then taper down. This may not make sense to those that haven’t had to deal with someone on this issue.

A lot of tax dollars are used to constantly process the same criminals over and over again as they continue to threaten innocent citizens. Millions are dumped into dumb "jobs training" programs that don't produce any change in crime or increased employment. Millions are dumped into "studies" about crime, employment, poverty, etc that produce nothing in return. All of this is not only a waste of money and effort, it encourages a culture of irresponsibility and further ensures a decline in values for society at large. The system can be improved by more effectively separating violent criminals from non violent ones, but the violent ones should go to jail and stay there. Angola has room to grow.

public hangings


My great grandfather often told the story of walking home from school and seeing a man hanging from the Houma courthouse oaks. That sort of image stays with you and is one hell of a deterrent for potential criminals. In that setting you only commit a crime if you think it’s worth the potential hanging.
