I worked for a background screening company some years back. There were so many stories about violent offenders coming across their future victims through their line of work- some had actually gone in the homes of the victims to do business and would murder or rape them there at a later time.
And I heard the legal dept make phone calls to applicants to tell them that their murder conviction, from 20 years ago, would keep them out of the medical field as medical assistants or nurses.
I dare anyone to say that our life, liberty and our pursuit of happiness and ability to be safe from violent criminals is not being infringed upon- attacked, really- by this administration.
“I dare anyone to say that our life, liberty and our pursuit of happiness and ability to be safe from violent criminals is not being infringed upon- attacked, really- by this administration.”
They need that atmosphere to keep Americans clinging to the skirts of their government. I don’t see that happening here in NJ, where thousands of cops have lost their jobs due to budget cuts; the “state” isn’t even pretending they can keep us safe here anymore. It is actually nice to see that bit of government downsizing (which was SO expensive - lots of NJ cops make over $100K annually); now people have to grow up and fend for themselves.
I do the hiring for a company that has many safety sensitive jobs. I do criminal background checks on each applicant we intend to interview. I never disclose the results to anyone and those with red flags simply get a letter saying thanks for your interest in our company but we’ve chosen someone else. No further explanations.
You are right most never change.
If they went to the pen for a violent crime they were violent when they got out.
The only thing that kept them in line was fear.
They knew if they started trouble on the job the entire crew would take care of the problem and give them an attitude adjustment.
