<blockquote>Defence lawyer Randy Janis argued that the youth was not a "chronic auto-theft person" and prior to this incident had neither convictions for stealing nor driving pilfered cars.
Janis pushed for his client to receive a sentence in the community in an effort to rehabilitate him outside the negative influence of the youth centre.
"Do we put him here with the other 44 per cent that will continue to swap war stories?" he asked Pollack.
"The best hope for him not to reoffend is to rehabilitate him -- if he's continually immersed in the culture, he'll be more affected by it," Janis added.</blockquote>Yikes! So putting criminals back into the community - where they committed the crime in the first place - is going to rehab them? What a brainiac this lawyer is.
Want to stop criminals from swapping stories? How about solitary confinement!
How about electric collars that are controlled by the police, monitored 24/7; if moving faster than 20 kmh ZAP'em!
I like the idea of solitary confinement, however please look at an earlier post of mine, Get these little creeps in sandwich boards, stripped down to the underwear and sneakers: WITH their parents out on Portage Avenue on the Median. The sandwich board should list their name, address and telephone number, along with the offense. Since they think what they're doing is a joke..... let's have fun with them!
<blockquote><cite>Posted By: northender</cite>The government should look at the mental health act and see if there is anything in it that could help control the behaviour of the car thief junkies.</blockquote>What a novel idea.
If Taser coined the phrase "excited delerium" for the courts, why can't we get some doctor to invent a phrase or term for us? Habitually endangering the public has gotta' count for something.
<blockquote><cite>Posted By: StBPegger</cite>I'd have no problems supporting a Monominto-run boot camp :)</blockquote>Let's build a "car thief junkie" boot camp in the desolate wasteland of SPD.
It's a joke... back off!

Just for the sake of stirring things up; ok, you have been warned! LOL Kapyong Barracks out on Kenaston at Grant would be a good place to house some of these car thieves, putting them on public display on the parade grounds for 10 hours a day. Force them to march along Kenaston with their sandwich boards during the morning and evening rush hours in full view. Perhaps the PUBLIC humiliation and subsequent back-lash from the parents will get some dormant brain cells operational.
Staff the barracks with Master Corporals from the Armed Forces. Wake-up is 5 AM every morning, with 1 hour of exercise before breakfast.
Well the Kapyong barracks are only a few short blocks from where we store these sorry little bastiges now... In any event, I don't think we should use Kapyong for anything other than the use of the rich white people in the neighbourhood. And put up a huge gate. With locks. So the poor people can't get in. Okay, you can put the new stadium in there if you want. Bit only rich white people will be allowed to attend the games.
ooo!! ouch, let's hope someone on a cell phone comes along from behind? NOT!! I want the little buggers to live long lives in shame and humiliation!! Let their pictures be posted on public billboards, along with their names, I want to KNOW who they are and where they live!
Heck I need a winter project, get the city to pay my wages, I'll have those kids cleaning up pigeon poop off the sidewalks; in the sandwich boards and sneakers!!
Cleaning snow from the sidewalks and driveways of the people they've violated all winter long sounds good to me, make them do it EVERY day whether or not there has been a snowfall, hmmmmmm might keep them out of trouble for a while.
Mono, why not start your own snow-clearing company? Winnipeggers are aging and I dare say very few people want to shovel their sidewalks and drive-ways. Including me! I'll contract with your company if you decide to go there.
Real car thief junkies aren't going to benefit from public humiliation. For most, stealing cars and driving them at speed, playing chicken with cops etc is the only thing in the world they are any good at. They even attract groupies. These people need treatment. In the absence of any real change to laws related to car theft, they should be medicated.
One day I caught a kid trying to mess around in my yard. He had scaled my rather tall fence and I was quite shocked. When I informed him of his crime and what could happen the little bugger looked at and sneeringly said EFF you White Bitch I'm under 12 and the cops can't touch me! It was at that point that I uhhhhh, brusquely escorted him out of my yard, the front way, so all of my neighbours could hear what I had to say and see that I had caused him no harm. Never saw him around again.
Gangbangers, and I apologize if this point has already been raised but I have not gone thru the entire page listings, tend to use 12 and unders a lot to commit crimes like boosting the kids into front porches to get them open in order to facilitate porch content thefts. They have been used as dealers and car thieves as well. I do believe one of the youngest ones caught joyriding was under 12 (acting as accomplice).
Whenever some of these rotten parents out there tell me it is their right to reproduce I am left shaking my head. Reproduce if you wish but please raise your bastards in a more positive environment? You do not have to be rich to raise good citizens.
