A Nice Set, and a Nice Podium
Brilliant discussion. It's interesting to see just how much the focus of the discussion has shifted, even though the subject is still the same.
I think that imprisonment is an usual form of punishment. We need to have rehabilitation facilities. Having people that commit crimes to understand why they commit crime(s) would help them from engaging in further crime. Surely its way more complicated than how I simply explained it, but that's where I think we should start. Anyways, I enjoyed this discussion.
Edit: Also, I think it's pretty crazy to have an appointed judge to place judgement on someone. Like they can impose any lawful punishment they want within reason. But what qualifications do they really have that sanctions them to impose such judgement?
But. What risks are we willing to take? To let some criminal out in streets to hurt someone else? You CANNOT rehabilitate this. It's a pipe dream. It's saying "well they think like me, and deep down they're doing it for xyz". My God! DID you listen to the debate?!
2:30 "violent or repeat offenders" what a deceptive way to present the statistic. what percent were violent? that's all i wanna know. the repeat offenders were probably all drug users or something.
How so? All those scum bags are in there because they CONSTANTLY BREAK THE LAW! I MEAN, WTF DO YOU PPL COME FROM? Crime is waaayyy up since this soft approach was implemented decades ago.
@@jaed2630 cuz violent crimes and drug crimes are very different shithead.
We will never address crime prevention unless we can talk about who's committing it.
