Of course, I don't know for sure the overly-zealous dude was a Democrat; it just strikes me as likely. There's probably a Big Union involved here too.

Democrats Strut Their Tough On Crime Stuff??

104 And Counting: Thank You, Liberal Party of Canada!
Image via WikipediaA 16-year-old male faces 104 charges after being arrested in connection with a break-and-enter on Wednesday afternoon.
The teen, whose identity cannot be revealed under the Youth Criminal Justice Act, is alleged to have acted with a companion...
The accused faces 47 counts of mischief, 46 counts of theft under $5,000 and eight counts of possession of property obtained by crime, among other charges.Canada's criminal youth laws are tilted towards offenders getting off with a light sentence and no criminal record. This is why older criminals solicit youths for their criminal enterprises -- the law of unintended consequences is alive and well in Canada. Thank you, Liberal Party of Canada for Aiding and Abetting! (No wonder immigrants, coming from tough-on-crime cultures, are voting Conservative. Liberals have the criminal vote locked up, but that's about it.)
Contrast Canada with Singapore.
The crime rate in Singapore is one of the lowest in the world. In Singapore, a person who steals is not considered a victim or a troubled person; he is considered, what's the word, a thief. In Singapore, this guy would face a caning. Caning, or lashing, acts as both a strong deterrent and an unforgettable brush with the law that makes a person think twice about reoffending. It is also a way of indelibly impressing upon the offender society's stern disapproval of criminal behaviour. "Spare the rod, spoil the child."
We need to be both tough and compassionate -- it's not either/or.
And that's the way the Ball bounces.
So, what kind of sentence should a guy convicted of 104 charges get?

One Stop, Three Red-Light Runners
Image via WikipediaI've never seen that before.
Do you run red lights? I don't. It's a matter of respecting others and respecting the law.
It occurred to me as I sat there that a person who flouts a red-light would probably also cheat me if it suited him and he had the chance. Are our driving habits a reflection of our broader character? I suspect so. So did New York City. You know how they cleaned up on crime? They simply started enforcing their minor laws; they found that a disproportionate number of careless and unlawful drivers were also wanted criminals. Disregard for the law kind of goes with the territory. Got them off the streets.
And that's the way the Ball bounces, waiting for the light to turn green.
