First, I don't consider criminals as Americans. I consider Americans are Americans. I would like to clean the trash off the streets of America, and make our public life one where you can send your 89 year old mother to store up the street at midnight, and not worry about her being safe. Instead I am on the phone today discussing with my mom that she go down and get herself a 30 Cal clip pistol to carry loaded in her purse. Fuck the trash on the streets and parking lots and in malls.
I was out to lunch today, and looking out the window to the curb, there was a truck with a guy behind the wheel (A pimp), and his prostitute is bent over onto the seat shooting up as old ladies walking by gawk in shock at what they are seeing. Another guy is completely out of his mind and talking to god and himself, waving his arms. The streets are crawling trash, and when the police come by it is like cockroaches running for the Raid can. The same drug store block away where from where one of my ladies was carjacked & kidnapped, robbed, beaten, a month before, was robbed last night by two men who beat the security guard senseless & stole the whole cash register off the counter. This is a city that voted for less cops, and just had a measure to cut firemens pay and benefits.
Like I have always known, people...the trash are going to eat. And one by one they are going to take everyone of you down and rob you in the cruelest ways you as their prey can imagine.
I have a Joe Sheriff cure for the trash on the street, and may spend some time developing the idea and getting the word out to your city's as well. I know it always comes down to money, and like our local police Department is working 4 days a week, while poverty and crime continue to escalate. Thanks voters.
I propose major city's, those city's that can afford it, to build a large prison walled type community outside of town. A place where people can live until they are rehabilitated and have a job. Then we take all the social workers who normally help these people all over town, and send them there. All the counseling, health, food, clothing, etc. donations can be sent there for these people. By people I am talking about the Trash on the streets.
Once set up, the police will go out and start picking up the trash until they clean our streets up. The trash, are going to meet one of three scenarios.
1.They are Trash without a home, and these are immediately taken to the facility.
2.They claim they are self sufficient, so they must provide an address, and the police go there and see if he has drugs, stolen property, etc. No job, and no reason for no job, he is taken to the facility.
3.They are criminals, they have a home. Police take him to the home, check for criminal activity, a job, food in the frig, and signs that he is self-sufficient, you leave him there. Otherwise, it is to jail or out to the facility.
I would bet the streets would be swept clean in less that a month, and the trash would move on to be some other city's problem. Meantime the facility can work with new Americans to rehabilitate them, and get them jobs and place to live, etc. in the community. It would seem this would be cheaper in the long run, and the best alternative for the city citizens.
Funny how the idea of locking up criminals and vagrants is now a novel idea. The first charge of government is to keep the public safe from criminals, yet these days the government seems too busy with just about everything else other than locking up criminals. Thanks to liberalism government cares more about welfare, entitlements, and education than running a justice system that isn't a joke.
This country needs a massive overhaul of its justice system, its been long overdue.
While I do agree that the justice system needs an overhaul, your supporting argument does not bear out this conclusion:
New High In U.S. Prison Numbers

More than one in 100 adults in the United States is in jail or prison, an all-time high that is costing state governments nearly $50 billion a year and the federal government $5 billion more, according to a report released yesterday.
With more than 2.3 million people behind bars, the United States leads the world in both the number and percentage of residents it incarcerates, leaving far-more-populous China a distant second, according to a study by the nonpartisan Pew Center on the States.

So you're saying that locking criminals up is bad?
The problem is that the punishment is not a deterrent.
