Crime and (the Lack of) Punishment
2011-11-02 18:00:00 ?I am passionate about great crimes and the criminals who commit them. But, I often wonder if the long arm of our law, the finest justice system in the world, is at times deeply corrupt, especially with regard to the most recent financial meltdown of 2008. ? [S]everal fistfuls of ? corrupt, devious, deceptive, crooked, manipulative titans of the financial industry have somehow completely avoided any liability, responsibility or accountability for the crimes they committed?as have their accomplices in Washington, D.C. It seems that bad behavior has become an acceptable business practice. If you get caught, you only pay a fine. If you get away with it, you win. What kind of system is that??

Abortion, capital punishment and war -- One of these things is not like the
2009-11-29 04:00:00 [Cross-posted to The American Catholic] Ed Stoddard of Reuters' religion blog Faithworld carries a roundup of the skirmish between Congressman Patrick Kennedy, the son of the late Senator Edward Kennedy, has claimed that Rhode Island Bishop Thomas Tobin. In conclusion, Stoddard asks:This leads to a question about the consistency of views in the U.S. Catholic Church leadership. The Church opposes abortion and therefore liberal politicians who support abortion rights risk being refused communion. The Church supports a healthcare overhaul that would make the system more equitable. So does a conservative Catholic politician who opposes this reform risk being denied communion for ignoring the Catholic social teaching that justifies it? How about support for capital punishment, which the Vatican says is unjustified in almost all possible cases, or for war? In the build-up to the Iraq war, Pope John Paul was so opposed to the plan that he sent a personal envoy to Washington to argue again...
Bud Adams' Act Deserves The Maximum Punishment
2009-11-16 18:10:00 So on a weekend where the Bears did not play, and the hangover from yet another embarrassing loss is still not gone. What did you do with your weekend off? Some of you I am sure raked the leaves in your front yard or did a little early Christmas shopping. My wife and I took our son to see his grandparents in Rockford and of course a quick stop for a Beef-A-Roo! However there still was football on the list of to do's for the weekend and with the power of my Sirius Satellite Radio, I scanned around the country getting caught up on what is happening in the National Football League.

Punishment For Cyber Crime – Life Imprisonment, Facebook Makes Millio
2009-10-30 13:12:00 At WATBlog, we’ve commented quite a few times on cyber crime and how the fast changing face of the Internet has a lost of scope for misuse. A while back, we covered the amendments made to the IT Act. While the post was focused on the changes and how it could affect the privacy of the individual, there are several positive impacts to the Act as well. The IT Act of 2000, was modified in December 2008 and has come into force on October 27. A lot of crimes now come under the ambit of the IT Act. Some of the offences are: Cyber Terrorism Wi-Fi Hacking Sending / Viewing child pornography Video Voyeurism Identity Theft Spam. The original act was vague, and had only one criminal section – Section 66 for cyber crime. Now, it possesses a commendable expanse of powers for specific acts. Section 66F for example is applicable in case of Cyber Terrorism. If Wi-Fi or Internet is used to send terror mail, offenders can be effectively punished for life. (Life sentence). Similarly, any...

Proposed punishment for CTA radio airwave thief: Cleaning rail cars and pro
2009-08-05 13:00:00 The Case of the CTA Radio and Airwaves Thief lit up the blogosphere yesterday. I wrote about the 20-year-old Chicagoan who charged in federal court with impersonating a train official.Marcel Carter even gave an interview on a park bench to ABC7 reporter Sara Schulte, in which he wondered whether the charge was a misdemeanor. Um, no. It's a felony charge.Now, what Carter did was dumb and dangerous, but I don't believe he deserves 20 years in prison, the maximum he could receive. I do think he should be punished, though fellow ChicagoNow blogger Garrard McClendon feels Carter deserves nothing more than probation. We discussed Carter and his proposed punishment last night on Garrard McClendon Live on CLTV. I think that while...

Crime And Punishment In The Bahamian Society
2008-04-24 05:39:00 OPINION-Crime and punishment - The Nassau, Guardian: There are around one thousand people in prison in The Bahamas. Is that a lot or little? How can we tell? Compared to the 2.2 million people languishing in U.S. jails it does not sound all that many, but the population of The Bahamas barely exceeds 300,000, compared to the United States population in 2005 of 298.2 million. Prison, what a strange thing it is. We can remember our shock as a child being told that some adults had done things so bad, that they had to be locked away for years until they knew better. We could hardly imagine anything worse. Prisons seem to belong to the age of the horse-drawn cart and the workhouse, not to satellites and the Internet. If anything, we should be phasing them out - converting the prison into luxury accommodations. Speaking as a social observer rather than a criminologist, we find just about everything to do with the criminal justice system an enigma. But the central question it seems...

Perhaps if the unborn paid taxes they wouldn't be so quick to allow their murders?If he didn't lose you at his little ditty on defense, then perhaps you can wash yourself of Obama here as he describes a baby as "punishment."

Just a freedom loving taxpayer, and parent....and can anyone explain to me how STD's are prevented by abortion?
Too Much of Nothing: Crime Without Punishment, War Without End
2008-04-15 00:56:00 by Chris Floyd The President of the United States has openly, proudly admitted that he approved the use of interrogation methods that are by every measure — including the measure of United States law — criminal acts of torture. It is one of the most brazen and scandalous confessions of wrongdoing ever uttered by an American leader — and it has had no impact whatsoever. No scandal, no outcry, no protest, no prosecution. This pattern has recurred over and over throughout the Bush Administration. Bush and his minions commit crimes and atrocities in secret; they move heaven and earth to conceal their filthy deeds; they squirm and squeal like panicked rats when their some small portion of their evil comes to light; they belch forth a relentless series of self-contradictory lies to cover up, obfuscate or explain away the crimes; and when at last their malefactions can no longer be denied, they trot out the president himself to say: "Yeah, we did it; so what?"...
