Different strokes for different folks I guess! My mate who interviewed him gave me the impression that he was one of the biggest cock knockers he'd ever met, a complete egomaniac who loves to court the media and raise his own profile. I don't really care too much about the guilty prisoners in his shanty town prison but if I remember correctly in the article there were allegations that people awaiting trial (i.e. not proven guilty yet) were also being held there and being subjected to the same third world conditions.fadedsteve wrote:

Total and complete LEGEND! He actually is trying to uphold the law!! What a fucking concept! A guy actually doing what the public voted him to do!
I wish Sheriff Joe could come to the Bay Area and clean fucking house!!
They are getting food, water, ad are being provided (granted limited) protection from the elements. That, in and of itself, suggests that they are doing much better than most third world nations.Braddock wrote:

THE riot? I have not looked into the incident in which you speak, but even if there was A riot there, it would not be the first, or the most bloody.ZombieVampire! wrote:
Wasn't that the prison with the riot? And they had to bring in massive amounts of reinforcements to quell it? And afterwards all the good prisoners who didn't participate got murdered?
Okay then, second world conditions!imortal wrote:

As a deterrant, I would think this ranks high on the list. I would think that criminals would want to go out of their way to avoid his jurisdiction in order to avoid this fate.
Also, do not forget that he is in an elected position, and has been re-elected four times. The people support him. And for those who trot out the "only 30% hispanic" statistic, bear in mind that the supposed majority "white" population in the US is not some monolithic political body, but is stretched to the side of every issue; I doubt his election results were divided down racial lines.
I am all in favor of harsh punishments. The area I disagree with Shariah law is what constitutes a crime. I believe in having very few criminal laws, but those laws should be enforced with a callous, brutal determination.Braddock wrote:

I'll reiterate that I care not a jot for the guilty inmates, it's the potentially innocent people being held there awaiting trial that I feel a little sorry for. You know the US and places like Saudi Arabia or Singapore are not on polar opposites of the debate on justice and ethics; it's clear to see that many Americans would gladly embrace a severe legal system with harsh punishments acting as deterrents in the same way that a Shariah Government does.
Not at all, I was making a serious statement. I don't think US law is anywhere near as severe as Shariah law, just that it is on the same side of the coin when it comes to the debate on justice and ethics.imortal wrote:

...or did you expect me to explode in rage at the very referrence to a Shariah government?
