Why do judges identify with thugs who are members of a football team? The
answer is that these are the people who are seen as future leaders and
managers in America when they become adults. It will be their task to
engineer plans and issue orders to those such as they now bully, brutalize
and rape, a practice they will continue in a different guise later.

The answer is to pick up a gun and use it. That is the only way you will
get justice.

IN BRIEF / SAN BERNARDINO
Case Dismissed in Alleged Hazing Incident


From Times Staff and Wire Reports
A judge dismissed the case against a former Yucca Valley High School
football player who allegedly was involved in the sexual battery of a
teammate.

San Bernardino Superior Court Judge John Wade said Thursday that after two
weeks of testimony, prosecutors had failed to prove the charges against the
youth, now 18.

The former student, whose identity wasn't released because he was tried as
a minor, was among a group of football players accused of sexually abusing
a teammate during an alleged hazing incident at the high school last fall.
Five other juveniles charged in the case entered plea bargains.

In a way I agree with you. The justice system as a whole is not working. Most
of the people in jail are poor or black or both. But is violence ever an
answer? I don't think so. The sad thing is I don't think there is an answer. If
you kill one, there is always another equally deserving of death. You can never
kill them all.

This doesn't mean the justice system isn't working. Forgive me for saying
this in a PC climate, but do you think it may indicate a pattern in
offending, or should I say a pattern in offending AND getting caught for it?

I hate to be a little English spoilsport, but if there was tighter gun
control and a greater sense of responsibility infused into americans with
regard to firearms, then children would not be given weapons, designed
primarily to kill human beings.

Guns can be bought as easily as a computer, a cd player, or any other medium
sized household purchase, And I hate to point it out, but there is a flaw in
this. If people had to go to a gun runner, someone whom most conservative
Americans a la Charlton Heston would consider to be a lowlife, or white
trash scum, then there would be a massive drop in

1. Accidents involving weapons kept loaded.
2. Unbalanced individuals being able to purchase weapons
3. Second hand weapons falling through the thin mesh of firearm registration
and into the hands of real criminals

After the columbine shooting it was the alternative subcultures who got the
railing. As a trenchcoat wearing, dyed black haired gothic male I had to
deal with backlash from peers, my parents and concerned geriatrics . I broke
the noses of three drunked teenagers who attacked me with glass bottles and
bricks. I did not take out a personal vendetta against them and "cap" them.

If attitudes to firearms were tighter then perhaps it would be the NRA who
would be called into question, not marilyn manson, not rammstein.

I know I'm whining, but nobody listens to anyone.

Um. Guns can't be `bought as easily as a computer, a cd player, or
any other medium-sized household purchase', here in the US. Many guns can't
be bought at all! And... I could just go downtown with some money and come
home with a cd player. I can't just go downtown with some money and come

ok for English readers, I saw on Newsnight about 4 months ago after
[another] highschool shotting, an investigation into the availability of
guns and rifles. They managed to get an M16 sold to a 17 year old at a gun
fare and from a shop in a city (forgot name sorry). This guy had an older
man with him, and neither vendor ever stopped to ask age, ID etc...If you
can buy military weapons this easy, I'm thinking pistols and handguns are
like traded for baseball cards in the playground...
I dont approve of the english system of gun control where like almost
everything is banned. This makes illegal gun running pay better. No, just
far tighter controls are in order, full ID and mental health checks so ppl
who like shooting as a sport can get on with it.
Also we all have the right to defend ourselves on our own ground..i.e.
at home. When tony martin, and english farmer shot dead a burglar at his
farm (like the 15th guy that had attacked his property that year), he was
sent to prison. Why the fuck?? The kid was breaking the law, he deserves to
die, he was like 150miles from home!! Criminals like him deserve what they
get. I hope Martin gets out soon as this is a disgrace and I would like to
say I applaude the US death penalty, for as long as the conviction is sound
and proved so, criminals should be made to pay, not allowed to use OUR tax
money to live off, after a crime.

We *shouldn't* need tighter gun control. Hell, we shouldn't need gun control
period!!! That's the whole point! Our society has a major flaw in that we
feel restrictions are the answer. Restricting the actions of the dumb only
goes so far. Education is the answer (I don't mean to sound like a public
service announcement, but...). It is through education that one's mind
developes to a point of understanding that is currently thought of as smart.
How many "smart" people do you hear of killing each other? The answer is
very few. Look at East Asians, who are stereotyped as being super
intelligent. In Japan they have an average of *6* shootings a year. In
America we have sooooooooooo many more than that that it is sickening. The
thing is, what is currently referred to as "smart" direly needs to become
average. If the human race as a whole maintains this level of ignorance and
stupidity, I venture to say we are doomed.

but the Japanese have a different attitude. We can try to instil the good
characteristics in ppl, but unless we 'put down' all mentally ill ppl when
they born or lock um up, they will forever be a menace to society, be it
with guns, knives, bricks etc. Education only works if the ppl have the IQ
and ability to recieve it...and a lot dont.

I suppose I could largely correct my earlier statement by substituting
"humankind" in for "society." Humankind should not need to set restrictions
on themselves in order to attain any form of order. Humankind must become
much smarter if we ever wish to achieve Utopia, or even avoid killing
ourselves and going the way of the dinosaurs. You made a good point, but it
is largely in response to my lesser points. I personally don't think America
will be able to achieve a rais in intellect. Atleast not as long as society
is structured the wya it is now. For that we would need to drop everything
and start from scratch, and place philosophers, not politicians in the power
seat. Unfortunately, anyone who attempted that would be sucked under and
become a third world country by way of the consumers of the world.

Oh yea. hehe. No fucking way dude. What does sex education do? Not a whole lot.
How about the DARE program? Not a whole lot. Gun education? It's only going to
make people more interested in guns. And let's face it, many people out there
will stay stupid. Some have learning disabilites or mental problems. Yet they
will still be able to get guns and shoot your fucking head off. Then will you
consider better gun control?!?!

As a gun owner and an American citizen, I say you're full of
shit.

The larger point, however, is that your opinion is irrelevant.
You aren't a US citizen. You have a society that came up very
differently than ours. You hold different things paramount and
almighty.

That's why we left all those years ago. The Colonies simply
didn't agree with the general, and kingly, view on many issues
in Britain, chief among them taxation and gun control, or more
to the point military control of civilian and colonial militia
weapons.

So, when you decide to leave England, come here, naturalize and
contribute to US society by working, living, voting and paying
taxes, I will be more than happy to hear your viewpoints on the
realities of purchasing and using firarms, both legally and
illegally. Until you know specifically what *I* have to do to
legally own a gun in the state of Connecticut (or the 32 other
"right-to-carry" states), you're talking directly out of your
ass. Until you go downtown in any major city in America and buy
a computer, cd player, toaster oven, a stainless Springfield
Armory Fully Loaded model and a Glock 17 (with the ultra-scary
super-huge Mega-Death magazine!) all purchased by simply showing
cash or credit and NO other effort, you come talk to me about
the gun problem in this country. Until then, you're talking out
of your ass.

The only reason I can see for talking out of your ass is that
you're full of shit, and if you open your mouth, you're afraid
the taste will make you gag.

And ladies and gentlemen, we come full circle to my original
point, that "Brad McBad" is full of shit.

They're dead.

D E A D.

They aren't alive anymore. They expired. Shuffled off this
mortal coil. Took a dirtnap. Crossed over. Passed the veil.

They're sleeping with the fishes, see?

How in the name of all great Satan's fucksticks did they get
"justice?"

Merriam-Webster defines justice as follows:

Main Entry: jus·tice
Pronunciation: 'j&s-t&s
Function: noun
Etymology: Middle English, from Old English & Old French; Old
English justice, from Old French justice, from Latin justitia,
from justus
Date: 12th century
1 a : the maintenance or administration of what is just
especially by the impartial adjustment of conflicting claims or
the assignment of merited rewards or punishments b : JUDGE c :
the administration of law; especially : the establishment or
determination of rights according to the rules of law or equity
2 a : the quality of being just, impartial, or fair b (1) : the
principle or ideal of just dealing or right action (2) :
conformity to this principle or ideal : RIGHTEOUSNESS c : the
quality of conforming to law
3 : conformity to truth, fact, or reason : CORRECTNESS


Nothing those two did remotely resembles justice. On a
philosophical level, I think one would kinda want to be here to
revel in the justice one dispensed...Otherwise it's a greek
tragedy and no one gets the brass ring.

You know, that's the fucking problem in this country...no one
thinks about what they say or do any more...they just spew their
bile out of spoiled, undisciplined mouths and yell about what
the world owes them.

Got picked on? SO FUCKING WHAT. So did I. I learned to fight.
Got ridiculed? SO FUCKING WHAT. So did I. Do something to
change it. Start a band, write a book, fucking play football if
you have to. I am living proof that it works. I really wasn;t
liking getting pounded week after week on a football field, but
being on the team got my friends talking to the jocks and things
were fucking great after that. We all got along, and *I* was
the lynchpin for a crew of about 40 friends. It can be done,
and 40 people can influence 400. You can turn an entire school
if you really tried. The point is, if you care so much about
what other people say and how they treat you, then do something
to elicit the behavior you want or shut your fucking cry-hole.

Got slammed up against a locker and called a freak? SO FUCKING
WHAT. Either fly your freak flag and learn to fight, or take it
like a weakling, because if there's one thing I have learned in
my damn near 31 years of life, it's that you cannot EVER rid the
world of the uncouth, the bullies, the football captains of the
world.

The best you will *EVER* do is make sure these people don't fuck
with you or anyone you love. SO get off your pasty white, dead
flower-carrying, black velvet cloak of night, blood is my pain
gothity-goth *ASS* and *do* something to affect a change that
doesn't include ending someone's life.

Since when did high-school bullshit go from ass-kickings to
thinking it's cool to kill? Got your ass kicked? LEARN TO
FIGHT, you fucking pussy. Take self-defense classes. Learn
karate. Box. Learn to fight dirty. Just fucking do something
and stop pissing and moaning. And most of all, realize that you
don't have the right to kill someone unless they are about to
kill you...and some believe not even then. Getting tormented by
football bullies is NOT grounds for killing.

No, I don't feel strongly about this at all.

in japan, smuggling drugs is punishable by death
imagine what would happen were you to weild a weapon in public

you can't say its a matter of intelligence, cause its really a matter of
what the government is willing to go to prevent crimes
japan's system is basically far too different to compare it to the american
justice system

well god damn!
i have to say i was moved strongly by what you said *applause*
I agree, killing someone because they hassled you is no way fair and just.
if they were about to fire a gun at you then sure i'd feel inclined to wanna
be the one to fire the 1st shot.
good on you for having the strength to get past the BS in your life and good
on you for having the guts to tell it like it is online :-)
PEACE!

It's amazing, but most of the people commiting violent crimes are
poor, in a racial minority, or both. Seems to me that they're being
taken to justice just fine.

Initiation of force is never, IMHO, a correct way to resolve anything.
That goes for everyone, including the government.

You're an English spoilsport. IMHO, what's needed is, in fact, a
greater sense of responsibility, but that can't be created through
law. I'd rather deal with the irresponsible than have my freedoms
taken away, though, so I disagree with your point of view.

Also, keep in mind that you already live in a country where firearm
ownership is radically restricted, and I'm willing to suspect that
means you have a distorted view when it comes to firearms.

Sorry, but you're factually wrong. In the US, most firearms cannot be
purchased as easily as a computer, cd player, or any other appliance.
The US government certainly does not track the serial numbers of my cd
player. The US government also doesn't have a waiting period on
buying a toaster. The US government certainly doesn't check to see if
I have a criminal background when I buy a computer.

How is owning a firearm illegally going to improve ownership
responsibility?

>2. Unbalanced individuals being able to purchase weapons

That doesn't follow. Do gun runners administer psych tests to their
customers?

>3. Second hand weapons falling through the thin mesh of firearm registration
>and into the hands of real criminals

Of course not, since the criminals would still be getting their guns
from gun runners or people doing fencing for them, and so we'd just
see clearly that the crooks get the guns illegally.

>If attitudes to firearms were tighter then perhaps it would be the NRA who

I disagree. If people understood exactly where firearms belonged in
their lives, then the dead kids would be the ones eyes would turn to,
and that's the only place eyes ought to turns.

>I know I'm whining, but nobody listens to anyone.

Yup. You're whining. You also are just picking an alternate
reactionary stance.

Then you're wrong. Also, you're describing an illegal purchase, which
is essentially that of going to a "gun runner." You probably don't
know this, but Harris and Klebolds broke 25 firearms laws in their
acquisitions. Why were they not caught beforehand? Because gun laws,
by their nature, only restrict LEGAL purchases. Illegal purchases, on
the other hand, continue to be illegal, and people still do it. Since
virtually no money is put into enforcing our existing laws
efficiently, no progress is made. Gun control laws are always "feel
good" laws. The mere passing of them makes people feel good, and
that's enough to get another vote from the constituents.

US firearm laws regulating the legal purchase of firearms already
require that a background check be run, which checks the purchaser's
history of both criminal acts and outbursts of poor mental health that
have caught the attention of the courts. Again, these laws will only
further regulate legal transactions. Those who do their work
illegally continue to do their work illegally.

It's actually more expensive to execute a man than to send him to
prison for life. That divergence in costs can be further reduced if
hard labor became a staple in prison. The death penalty is nothing
but a legally sanctioned form of murder, and I consider it a violation
of a man's rights (which I consider to be of divine origin) to the
most extreme degree to be murdered by anyone and for any reason.
Governments deserve no special place in the world of ethics.
Governments are emergent functions of groups of people, and people are
certainly subject to ethical considerations.
