As I posted above, we need to stop people from committing so many crimes in the first place, and the way to do that is not punishment. It's restoring the nuclear family. Nothing else comes close to the difference that would make.
You can also make committing crime less desirable by making jail look less like 3 hots and a cot and more like Cool Hand Luke. Shoplifters do so because the punishment for it is weak and leads people to continue stealing and living on EBT over getting a job. Sentence them to do some of the work Democrats want illegals to do.
Hours in the hot sun doing manual labor. Remove government handouts for criminals. Working an eight hour shift slinging burgers at an air-conditioned McDonalds won't seem so bad in comparison.

So?
What percentage is that on the larger scale of bs we see in this country with so called families teaching children how to play the system?
Keep your little part of the country pure. You’re wrong. And sort of a Pollyanna.

Yeah, but long sentences keep those who weren’t deterred in a cell away from me where they can’t do any more crimes around me.
I want to live in a society where every public place isn’t filled with vandalism and surrendered to violent people with zero concern for basic hygiene.
I want a moderately trusting society where people won’t instantly steal any item not bolted to the ground, and where restaurants aren’t afraid to have free sauces, refills, and napkins dispensed for customers to grab feely without random a-holes just stealing all of it.
I want to be able to take public transit or walk down the street in my city’s central business district without having to keep my head on a swivel while worrying about my feet stepping in human excrement.
I want to be able to send my kids to a school where my child might actually learn something rather than get beaten up or stabbed by a violent illiterate truant who only disrupts class when they infrequently attend but whom the school repeatedly refuses to discipline or remove.
Bleeding hearts tell me that what I want is impossible and racist. It’s not. It’s the bare f$&king minimum.

Your dad's leather strap wouldn't do shite to change the behavior of an adult criminal, but that authority applied to a child tends to produce an adult with respect for society, the law, and general morality.

When there is a dad with a leather strap at home, the adult that is produced is civilized. When there's not, the chances that the adult that is produced will be some flavor of anti-social skyrockets.

You want us to believe your guy plead guilty to a felony to get out of a misdemeanor driving offense?

Do I expect a board full of people who would voluntarily sign affidavits stating that every election a Republican loses was sToLeN to believe anything grounded in reality is a better question.

If this isn't the most melodramatic nonsense I've seen posted here in a while...
I live in New Orleans. My kids go to public school and read above grade level. Neither has been beat up or stabbed at school or anywhere else.
If everywhere you look you only see shite and problems, it makes me wonder what you're looking for when you look around.

I taught in public schools in Baton Rouge for a couple semesters. I had one student stabbed and another beaten within an inch of his life.
In New Orleans, I was mugged by a homeless person a block off canal street and shot at twice. My roommate also had his phone stolen off of him. I have personally witnessed stabbings, brawls, car-jackings, etc. All of these happened in the last 5 years, AND I DON’T LIVE THERE!
Yeah, I am sure I am just “looking for problems” while I step over yet another human shiit on canal street between a half dozen passed out homeless people.
GTFOOH with your bleeding heart NIMBY “if you’re seeing problems it’s because you’re the problem cause nothing ever happens on my block” gaslighting bullsh&t!

You macho internet guys want a system in which punishment is harsh, immediate, and public, right?
Well, we had that. In this country (or in the colonial version of this country).
Back then there were no prisons. You got something like tarred and feathered or horse whipped or put in stocks for a misdemeanor and if you were found guilty of a felony you were simply taken outside the courthouse and hanged. Usually the morning after the trial. That's it. No incarceration. They had jails to hold you until trial, which usually took place a week or two after being arrested, and that's it.
The hangings were public, so everyone saw what would happen to you if you stole horses or killed someone or robbed a bank.
And the murder rate was six times what it is now.
Yeah. Six times.
No matter how internet-tough you guys think you are for insisting on this, it's simply not true, and it never has been.
Hell, I wish it were true. It would be pretty simple and easy to fix if it were.
But it isn't, and no amount of y'all mindlessly claiming that it is will make it so.

I don't think anyone is going to answer the question as to why something cannot exist when I see it existing all around me.
Now the excuse of why the nuclear family cannot exist is what I'm needing to be educated on. Especially when I see it existing everywhere.
What IS making it SEEM it is not feasible is the actual encouragement for it NOT to exist. Government handouts making it financially more attractive, societal normalization of it, etc.

You clearly have nothing but contempt for the people on this board. People that you have repeatrdly lied about. Your attempted character assassination of this board has not gone unnoticed by most here (you've managed to fool a few).
So, why even come here if you hate this board so much that you even try to blame us, MAGA, and Trump when one of your little Boy Scouts breaks the law YET AGAIN?

That's fine, but that's a different claim.
I also believe in the protective theory of incarceration.
But because it's true that people who can't act within society's laws need to be separated from the rest of society to protect society, that doesn't mean it's true that harsh punishments deter crime.
They don't.

I'm not a bleeding heart liberal, but I will tell you that this last point is impossible as long as we stay committed to universal compulsory mass education. In public schools, anyway.
We insist on public education that is compulsory and universal not because we really believe all children are going to be educated (it's obvious that it is impossible to educate children when their parents have no interest in them being educated), but because we're addicted to the taxpayer funded daycare and also the use of schools as a tool for indoctrination and redistribution of wealth.
And that is not going to change. Public school is a socialist mechanism and you aren't going to change it to something else.
