An intellectual dagger's needed: no need for a real weapon, straight to the heart, something like, "How many odd socks have you got?". That'll throw 'em.<br />Ed Pnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-627081175329856970.post-49127302756724093192016-11-18T12:39:30.915+00:002016-11-18T12:39:30.915+00:00Ah, the old "We're only minors" ploy...Ah, the old "We're only minors" ploy.. Which roughly translates as "We can do and say as we like, and if you so much as look sideways at us, we'll have the law on you..".<br /><br />Fortunately, it does last for long, surprisingly once they reach the ripe old age of 18, all the shit eye looks and insults under the breath as they walk past suddenly stop for some reason..

A man is surrounded by a mob of local scumbags, hits someone three times in retaliation at being assaulted himself and is convicted. It's only a shame he didn't play football.<br />PenseivatAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-627081175329856970.post-14456042154404575372016-11-18T11:46:05.736+00:002016-11-18T11:46:05.736+00:00We have a criminal justice system that appears to ...We have a criminal justice system that appears to be totally unfit for purpose. Inappropriate leniency and also inappropriate punishment is frequently observed emanating from it. Societies approach to criminality has been influenced by progressive thinking that downgrades success and rewards failure. Mediocrity over merit. Ideological solutions applied to punishment and deterrence. Such as the application of ethical(to them) but costly and ineffective means of dealing with crime. Leading to mixed and confusing signals and no clear boundaries. The result, the innocent fear the justice system more than the criminals do. This judge obviously did the best he could given the constraints he was under. No doubt without any constraints he would be applauding the defendant and admonishing the police for arresting the wrong man.Antistheneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10120647617145756102noreply@blogger.com
