Re: Lawless Society?
An idiot ran into the back of my car on the M1 in broad daylight, good visibility. Yes, there was heavy traffic and the motorway came to a standstill. However, I stopped safely, he did not. My beloved little GTi was badly bashed, and the repairs came to over £1,200. I had conversations with this loon, and he said he wanted to pay me direct, not through his insurance company, and he was expecting a legacy. I checked, and he had no insurance ....
What does this paragon do for a living? - He's a town planner. Says a lot, doesn't it!
As to punishment, I think banging up for a long period is a great idea. Prison is no joke for most people, the loss of liberty is awful, I can guarantee that - I was at a convent boarding school - made most modern prisons seem like heaven! Life should, in most cases, mean life. The person killed can't resume their life - they were not given that option. Why should their killer be?
It has to be said, however, that thieving becomes more difficult and less attractive when you have had a hand cut off for a previous offence.
