Right you are - just as child molesters
are *never* "cured", I suspect many other types of criminals are sure to resume
their life of crime once released. Jail is a minor deterrent in my mind as
criminals never believe they'll get caught much less go to jail. It's the
people on this list who worry about jail - and avoid committing crimes so they
never go to a jail.
It's been proven over and over that child
molesters will molest again when free. One state kept a man confined after
his jail term because he freely admitted he planned to molest as soon as
possible. No nice people - wired differently. I wouldn?t want one
around my grandkids -

Subject: Re: [Ferrari] SECURITY ISSUES Hi Jim - can't recall the show - it was one of
those late night guest speaker things. How to defend your self, your
property, your family thing - - - AND what not to do. The speakers point
was don't pull a gun unless you can and intend to truly use it. Case
was a young thing, after the bar scene she and Bozo go to her car and carry on a
bit. The guy gets a little too rough and doesn't understand nyet, no,
nein, uh-uh. Girl gets scared, she pulls her 25 pistol - or some other
small purse type gun. Guy gets all "Hey baby - geeeese, I wasn't gonna
hurt ya, here put that thing away before somebody gets hurt." She gets
embarrassed, yeah, I must've over-reacted. Police find her along side of
the road alive, but with 5 or 6 bullets in her.
On the point nothing in your house is worth the
life of the owner, wife or kids - have to agree here. I am not an attorney
so one of you who is or at least knows the difference chime in anytime - I
believe there is a definition for committing a crime of theft when no one is
around vs committing the same theft when someone is around but they are not
confronted vs commit the same theft holding people at bay.
The unfortunate thing is the price of your life to
some criminals (for what ever reason) is zero compared to what they are
after.
Me? Hey, I went out for track - I prefer to
run and life to fight again. BUT that said, if someone is downstairs in
our two story home and they are making no pretext at being quiet - they either
think no one is home or who ever is home is nothing. For the first one -
turning on a light in a room may scare them away. For the later - you
better have some escape plan or method to defend. There is unfortunately
no "A" or "B" test. You guess wrong on the later dude or dudette you donna
get a second chance - usually.
I once knew the Dean of Police Science at U of So
Cal. He was a full Colonel in the Reserve - one summer camp we were
discussing "rehabilitation." He suggested it may not exist for many folks
who were incarcerated. Wha? Yep, they need "Habilitation" first as
they have no set of values of what is theirs and what is yours. Explain
sez I. OK - you are walking down the street and a $20 blows by - you pick
it up - yes? Yes. - its yours. Now same $20 bill in found in a
grocery store - ok, this one is iffy and you handle it. Next is same $20
bill on top of a counter by a cash register and no one is around - - less
iffy. Next is same $20 bill but it is in a locked register. Much
less iffy. To the common criminal - all situations are the same - you are
holding on to his $20 bill, or TV, or car until he wants it. You are
just an administrator of his belongings until such time as he demands rightful
custody of the goods. Then there are the types that remove any resistance
first and rifle through your pockets until they find that $20 bill - but
your dead. Witness the sad cabby tales.
The later is what sets me to seek the higher ground
but not necessarily greet the bastard by blasting them back through the window
they just crawled though. Tho if in my mind either me or my family were
confronted by a person who had deadly intent - why then there is NO
argument. Fire away and always shoot three times and start low and to the
left.
NEVER have I had to confront ANY situation (to my
knowledge) that would end up poorly. Thank heavens - I try to avoid the
macro errors by avoiding testy situations. Guess I have been
lucky.
