24 Hours In Police Custody

[Bluesince1979]

Which can be an element of paranoia.

I wish every was as rosy in my garden as it it yours

I once had a baseball bat for that purpose (I didn't buy it, found it in a park on a long walk during lockdown, and smuggled back in coat), because I had a sense that lockdown might encourage crime.

Never actually got as far as keeping in my room though, it stayed in communal kitchen.

Which open prison you in mate?

It’s interesting how popular vigilantism is on this thread.

How long before we bin off the police and have a Justice Force that just go round dishing out instance justice following a hearing of a kangaroo court on social media?

Its fear mate, driven by a media that thrive off crime stories for clicks and sales. The more horrific the better, crime sells as Netflix has discovered.

I don't think people want or support vigilante mobs they just want to feel safer and rightly or wrongly they feel the present system doesn't do that effectively enough. The two scrotes in this programme are prolific career criminals with long criminal records already. The one who was supposedly in a critical condition discharged himself from hospital and was back out robbing straight away. How do we break that cycle with these people who are just a constant nuisance to society and don't want to work for a living?

The police say, "Leave it to us" but people have lost all faith in their ability to do that job. I think there had been a spate of burglaries in that area and that was probably in the householders mind when he saw them trying to break into his property. Driven by the "They're not getting away with it this time!" mindset he took the actions he did, sadly to his and his families cost.

I don’t think it’s paranoia, it’s clear that the ONS the Home Office and opposition parties know there is a serious issue with the number of more serious crimes against individuals being committed and the rates of conviction.

The police and courts are meant to uphold the law but when they are failing to do so, is it any surprise that people take more extreme measures.

A 15-year-old boy has been jailed for four years and nine months, after admitting the shocking killing of 53-year-old Mohammed Islam in Romiley, Stockport.

4 years .......half will be served

You’re probably right. I’ve not been burgled since university, where I lost about 3,000 CDs. I know that feeling of someone intruding on your home and it’s that that felt worse to me than losing my childhood music collection. No insurance either as I couldn’t afford it at the time.

The problem of career criminals isn’t an easy one to solve as every service has been cut to the bone, whilst people with limited intelligence have probably never been so limited in how they can make decent money. Therefore crime pays and the deterrent of a few years in prison doesn’t bother them much.

How do we solve it? Sentences have never been harsher and increasing tariffs doesn’t seem to work, even if we had enough prison cells to house the extra ones.

What I do know is that continued austerity mustn’t be the answer.

Is the answer to lock them up for life? Youth sentences are always much less than adult tariffs. Should that change?

Honestly .....dig a moat. Gun towers.
