I take it you have all the money you need - and good insurance. If someone took your car and totaled it - your life would go on as normal. You have the security to be above it all.
Well, how nice for you.
You’re one of the people - with your ideas - who have turned our country into a place where many people are prisoners in their homes because they’re afraid to go out at night ... and in some place fearful more often than not.
Your concern for the criminal and not the victim is disgusting. People who should care about the criminals are his/her/it’s parents, aunts and uncles and friends. The rest of us need to care about the innocent victim. And you say what if no family member cares about the victim? That’s the point. The potential criminal needs to know there aren’t ready and gullible surrogates.
My system leads to a sane culture that controls it’s criminals and helps the borderline learn to care about themselves because if they become a burden to their loved ones - they’re out on their own. Yes, your sister might let you sleep on the couch to get back on your feet, but her husband wants you to get a job and get out. Which is healthy. These are the natural carrots and sticks of a sane society.
Reminds me of a story from years ago - a women had a dog that would jump on her bed and pee. (this is a true story) She decided the dog was expressing hostility because he needed more love. So when he peed on her bed she would show him attention and love.
Dog peed more....
Skinner’s idea “behaviors that are reinforced will tend to continue, while behaviors that are punished will eventually end...” has merit. The focus on ‘helping the criminal or addict is a mistake. The most basic research shows liberal choices are making MORE criminals and more addicts and more homeless. It’s not kindness - it’s nuts.
The advantage of a 2 year sentence for the first offense is it doesn’t allow for drip drip drip of accepting being a criminal. Of course if the punishment’s too severe could could backfire. Again - that shouldn’t be the focus. All our social and society concerns must be placed with the innocent victim. Making him whole again... There’s an incentive pattern here that’s been successful for hundreds of years... and we need to start using it again.
Yeah. Just the end of the cable, too. Doesn't have anything plugged into it. The standard USB cable end fits into a spot behind ignition slot in the column behind the key socket. Break the column to access this spot, break the steering lock, insert USB cable end (could really use a screwdriver, but a standard USB cable fits the little rectangular receptacle perfectly and they're ubiquitous and innocuous). Turn the ignition and have fun.
Ever cut into a modern steering wheel? They are designed to collapse in a wreck. You can cut the steering wheel in seconds and render The Club worthless. The best defense is Trunk Monkey.
LOL!
👍 on the Trunk Monkey reference, I don’t even need to look!
Far be it that an insurance company to lose money!
Family from Ukraine left without car after teens stole their uninsured one and crashed
Where to start, eh?
