I have the greatest respect for the Constitution of the United States of America. Maybe I'm getting old but I don't have much tolerance anymore for young kids who refuse to get an education and then rely on welfare and crime to make a living.
I guess I am prepared to support some kind of parasite law. If folks aren't working and contributing to society and they have engaged in crime they should lose their citizenship. No voting rights, no right to constituitonal protections. Prison.
I believe that's the right idea, but that the Lawyers who represent these criminals should be assigned as their "guardians", and be responsible for their actions when they get them off the hook. The ol' "if you touch it, you own it" axiom should be invoked for lawyers AND judges who fail their statutorial duty to protect the public.
You're not too old. Society has slipped so far that you feel powerless.
This type of problem can be changed, but not at the local level with all the corruption. Governors need to get involved.
