Unbound Criminality

Looking back to old-school films such as Aladdin, where punishment actually had a consequence, I ask myself why harsher punishment in the UK is snubbed.

Nowadays, it feels that people are happy to commit crime; either for a ‘rush’ or solely because of their lack of respect. What I say is, bring something back that would mean something to the criminals. If there is no doubt that someone committed murder or theft; why not take from them what they stole.

Human-rights activists have gone a step too far with encouraging equality when such people are happy to commit crimes against others. In Aladdin, thieves would have their hands cut off; sure, it wouldn’t be pretty, but people would be much less likely to risk their hands, or their neck.

Everyone should earn a place in society, especially those in the so-called First-World countries. Those people who opt out of caring for social conventions should surely receive what they give to others. If I were to commit a crime, I would expect hell and wrath to follow, not cable TV and free gym membership for as long as I had my hand in someone else’s purse.

Our economy suffers while criminals are both in and out of prison so why protect the leaches that hinder the rest of the pack? They are the ones that hinder us out of personal choice; for their own gain and without care for others, yet we are expected to ignore their choices and care for those that wish to selfishly act without regard.

Looking at packs of dogs, it’s easy to see a hierarchy where if one acts against the others, it will be isolated and it won’t have the advantage of being both in and outside of the pack. Why should we treat criminals differently when they have acted unfairly to others? Why do they deserve preferential treatment? How dare they receive more than they sow and how do you expect people to pay for other’s selfish choices. They ignore their humanity when it’s advantageous to them but still expect humane treatment.

They are treated well in prison; too well. They’re on a cruise holiday that they’re expected to stay on. A cruise deal for them that is free, without repercussions and one that can help them network to enhance their criminal skills. These individuals should pay for their misdeeds, not be helped to continue their ‘trade’.

I would even relish bringing back the most extreme of punishments; guillotines, hanging, death by fire. If there is no doubt in their guilt; in that there is certifiable proof of their actions; stop them from sponging off the rest of us and make them regret their actions. I see this as the key issue; criminals at the moment have no regret because they have no need to embrace it.

A lot of criminals select the easiest choice and our Government allows them to continue choosing it; there is no reason to stop doing what they do because there is no actual punishment being delivered: If they are put in prison, they have ‘bragging rights’ and can socialise with like-minded individuals that can teach them additional tricks-of-the-trade; and when they’re outside of prison, they put them into practice until they go back.

If there is no justice to these people, they will see that they are committing no crime so what is the point of using a disciplinary system that is half-assed, expensive and a criminal trade centre? Why do we pay for something that doesn’t work? We need a powerful deterrence, one that isn’t half-assed. One that says we will punish those that break laws and are happy to cause crime.

There is an option for us at this time: capital punishment. People who could be deemed worthy of such a punishment don’t care about you or what good you’ve done for your family; too many are psychopaths with no social conviction and no leash.

This community isn’t looking for an easy choice; we are looking for the right one. Bring back social growth, safety and true punishment to those that are comfortable to inflict harm upon the rest of us.
