Well WTF do you plan to do with them without prisons then? Just give them a liberal "there there" treatment while they are free to committ their crimes without fear of punishment?

In certain cases there is no solution but to lock people up. People such as:

- Burglars (who affect people of all classes (including working class), both directly due to theft of posessions, and indirectly cause they are usually trying to feed a hard drug habit in the process)
- Peadophiles (sorry but if you want to have sexual relations with childern who shouldn't even know what sex is about until they have developed the faculties to do so, there is something seriously wrong with you)
- Murderers (you just simply cannot get away with taking another human life).

Unless you would rather have vigilantie mob rule where people suspected of these and other terrible crimes (which are determined by the mob, rather than the legal system) are just lynched?

My 2p worth.

We'll break your middle finger.

Someone keyboard warrior completely fails to acknowlege the points made in my first comment and decided to threaten me with violence instead.

Give me rule of law over mob rule anyday.
