Stevie-E 1/21/2013 1:57:54 PM ReportCameras at all the local businesses would be a good investment. They are cheap and you can view the activity from almost anywhere.
Time to become vigilant and put these punks in jail.
Snowdon 1/21/2013 2:03:21 PM ReportYeah I'm sure you wouldn't mind your taxes going up even MORE to foot the bill to feed and care for all of the petty criminals put in jail for (comparatively) minor, non-violent crimes. The money to pay for prisons doesn't just come out of nowhere.
Stevie-E 1/21/2013 2:13:38 PM ReportI would rather pay higher taxes and have the piece of mind that the career criminals are put in jail after the 2nd offense. Have a graduated system and by the 3rd time...boom, you get minimum 5 years!
These are the same ones that eventually kill or commit violence for drug money. Some people are not fixable and examples need to be made out of all of them.
Also, get rid of the young offenders act, or if they are continually in trouble, at least post their picture and name up there so we know who they are.
These are the same ones that are in and out of "detention centres" and clogging up our courts. This is also costing us money so what's the difference?
tqd9999 1/21/2013 2:14:05 PM ReportI say put them all in prison, but just outsource to China (Since we outsource most things already), because it only costs 50 cents a day to feed a prisoner there :)
MrJWall 1/21/2013 3:11:27 PM ReportIf there was stags or special get togethers booked that night or 2---I would look to anyone that got overly intoxicated and/or agiated. Or refused entry! Wasn't me lol
bounder 1/21/2013 3:41:18 PM ReportI would think it was more an act of retribution,payback is a bitch.
l&s campbell 1/21/2013 3:57:33 PM ReportI knew it would be a matter of time before this happened Just lock them up and loose the key!
