Car Thieves and Other Musings……
I read with interest and amazement the cover story in ‘The Province’ today. Yet another documentary on the failed criminal justice system in this, the country of kangaroo courts. I’m talking of course about the car thief who stole as many as a thousand cars before his 23rd birthday.
Forget all the liberal bullshit about personal rights and social responsibility towards the criminals. The responsibility of any organization of governance or justice system HAS to be towards the protection of society against harm and lawbreakers. Not the protection of the lawbreakers from society. When you have a variation from this absolute, you end up with what we have now.
As such there were two points critical to this situation. Points that stand on their own as principles that need no fill in with the empty detritus of personal feelings or storyline stuffing to build a word count.
One: The thief blames crystal meth for stealing his life.
What bullshit. What complete and utter bullshit. Any society or individual in a society capable of believing that nonsense deserves to suffer at the hands of these scumbags. It is nothing more than the typical blaming of somebody or something else for your own undoing. (A common thing heard in this land and utter crap each and every time.)
He took the crystal meth. He chose to do what he did. He made the decision each and every time. I was never there forcing him to take drugs, so it was his own god damned fault. Nobody stole his youth from him but himself. What a fucking loser.
Two: “I stole because I could.”
He’s right. He did. He was arrested many, many times and always went back and stole again, often within hours of being released on bail. And why?
Is it because of the Police? Do we blame the Judges? No. We have to blame ourselves. We have a society that doesn’t have the balls to protect itself, and as such falls victim to the bully tactics (and that’s what they are) of thieves and criminals. We refuse to stand up to them and do what is right and just and protect ourselves. Canada is a nation of wimps and we are reaping what we have sown. I’ve said it before and I will say it again; “We have no justice system in Canada, only a legal industry.”
A simple example will prove my point. He says he stole a thousand cars. Ok, fine. I accept that. But I put to you this question: “How many cars could steal if he had no hands?”
We don’t need expensive tax dollar wasting jails for people like him. I suggest the following would work.
First offence, cut off his left index finger.
Second offense, cut off his left thumb.
Third offense, cut off his left hand.
Forth offence, cut off his right thumb.
Fifth offence, cut off his right hand.
There. Simple. And you know, I don’t even feel awkward or queasy suggesting it. And even if it doesn’t prevent nine hundred and ninety five stolen vehicles from him alone, it would certainly have cut it down significantly. And if the same thing was done, swiftly and without mercy to each and every car thief; how many cars do you think would keep getting stolen?
I’m sick and tired of paying too much for MY car insurance, just to subsidize the actions of his lot. I’m sick and tired of paying too many taxes to support a system that sticks these guys back on the street so they can steal again.
Can anybody, anybody at all give me a fair and decent argument against the validity of my proposal?
I doubt it. But go ahead and try. I dare ya.
