Another felon cuts his monitor and runs

Once again we run into the problem that North Carolina requires bail be offered in all non-capital cases.


A long criminal record is right. Take a look at his official “transcripts”


There are two problems here.

First off, there is too long a delay between being charged with a crime and being tried for that crime. What’s the use of punishment if it starts a year (and several more crimes) after the original crime was committed? 


Secondly, not enough crimes are “capital” crimes in North Carolina. 

I have a proposal. They used to hang people for stealing horses. Let’s bring that back. Anyone convicted of a crime equal or more serious than horse theft gets hung by the neck until dead. This limits the sort of person who can get bail, plus it eliminates a large number of criminals from the pool of possible recidivists.

Either that or we could shorten the time between charge and trial. Either way works for me.

Like what you read? Have extra money and want to donate it to a good cause? Look on the right sidebar for the Paypal button labled "Contribute to the 'Buy a Kriss Vector' fund" All proceeds go to funding my purchase of a Kriss Vector SBR and suppressor.

Anyone (except for MikeB302000) can post.

Don’t be more of an ass than me. Your words, though they are on my blog, are your own. I didn’t write them. If they are stupid, ill considered, or bigoted, it’s your problem.

Criminal threats will be reported to the appropriate authorities for the appropriate action.
