The Thugs are on the rise in the USA, making the streets dangerous for us and our kids. The Thugs have the support of their Thug-in-Chief, our muzzie Prez Hussein Obama. We need to await a GOP victory. Once we have it, should we give police more rights to shoot Thugs, if they are causing havoc in our cities? I need to stress that police should not shoot Thugs who are not a clear and present danger. But the other Thugs can be shot in self-defense.
In general, the Left has "mollycoddled the crap" out of criminals and repeat offenders. In China, you might get a .22 behind the ear for stealing a donut. We need to think more like the Chinese in this regard. (The guy who shot up the theater in Colorado, killed and wounded several people... got his sentence this week. "Life without the possibility of parole". [Death sentence required a unanimous vote... only one juror rejected the death penalty...] Well, isn't that special? Society not only had to suffer his violence, but now has to pay >$1 Million to support his life in prison. That's BS, IMV. I like the "China solution"... swift, inexpensive execution. No more burden to society. Hell.. I don't murder, rape, rob, mug, burglarize, etc. Why should I and others like me be burdened by those who do? )
I support all the options in the poll. There is no reason they have to be mutually exclusive. The more important question should be how do we honor and protect citizens who shoot thugs?
