#1 They are such lovely people, these liberals.

#2 Seventy percent of those cases are carried out by criminal repeat offenders.

In California the PEOPLE passed a ballot initiative commonly call the Three Strikes law. According to this law, after being convicted of three felonies, a criminal gets life in prison with no possibility of parole. Ever since that law was passed, various legislators, judges and do gooders have been trying to get it repealed.

I don't care if the prison is a tent city surrounded by concertina wire out in the desert. These people need to be separated from the rest of society.

I never felt the need for a gun but if I was a woman I am quite certain that I would have one, especially on a college campus because the predators know that is where the girls are.

#3 "I don't care if the prison is a tent city surrounded by concertina wire out in the desert. These people need to be separated from the rest of society."

After "Truth in Sentencing" was passed in Virginia, EU (under a Republican governor, dontcha know), crime when down. Can't imagine why. /sarc

#4 Barbara, the other thing that needs to be done is to change the laws on felony.

A crooked accountant that embezzles $50k and is charged with 3 felonies doesn't belong in Mad Maxes Austrailia. 3 armed robberies that netted $500? Behind the wire for life.

#5 I read an article once that described crime data like a hockey stick. Most of the crimes are commited by group on the end of the stick. We all take insane measures (insurance, locks, etc) because we have never accepted this fact and just 3 strikes them out of the herd (and tossed out their enablers in government).

#6 Yeah, and as far as sex offenders are concerned, there is no such thing as rehabilitation unless it involves a surgical procedure below the belt. One strike should be all it takes to put them away for good.

#9 The spiritedlongleggedwoman with whom I live, is a psychotherapist of some renown. She says there is no effective treatment for rapists and pedophiles. They, she says, should be locked up permanently as no amount of therapy, treatment, love, and understanding will stop them from striking at the next available victim that hits their hot button.

That being said, I suppose being insensitive to a rape victim is an offense only a Republican can commit. If this amoral idiot had been a Republican, it would be on the cover of Yahoo, MSN, CNN, and a lead story on MSNBCPMS. Oh and the "gray lady" would have sent a reported to Washington for an exclusive.

Of course, I am still waiting for all of the liberal whiney assed women's organizations to say something about what's going on in Egypt and Syria, and to Christian women in Nigeria.

#10 Kind of amazed that the legislator who so blithely dismissed her and blew her off is female. Then again, I'm not amazed that a woman who looks like Helen Thomas' younger sister can live with sacrificing the young pretty ones.
