I have the full video of them actually breaking the window and I saw them from my window pull away and circle twice after the alarm going off…..I wouldn’t fire upon a random car. I’m posting for entertainment from these $@@$”holes. Not to be put on jury.
You shouldn't be on jury/treated as a defendant. As far as it being an air-soft ...does the admin really care?
I've posted this comment (below) in many many online forums/Facebook/etc....and no one....no one has offered a solution other than mine below.
The only way...the only way we are going to slow/deter crime in this country is with more severe penalties for the perps once they are caught. Life, and everything we do is based on risk vs reward. Stealing/theft is the same thing. The risk isn't there. So it continues. If we had severe penalties, crime would screech to a near halt for one of two reasons.
1.) Isn't worth the risk of attempting the crime. Penalty is too large.
2.) There becomes no such thing as a "repeat offender" (for heinous crimes that meet certain level of criteria for "proof" before the punishment is delivered). The punishment is either instant death, 15 minutes after court rules you guilty (murder, attempted murder, rape, child molestation, etc). Or, you are imprisoned for ......10 years (ex: stealing $100 to $999) , 25 years (ex: stealing $1000-10,000), 50 years (ex: stealing $10,000+) . Lots of other crimes fit in here, I just mentioned a couple as examples.
Problem is, society is simply "okay" with crime. Here's where many interject and say "Well I'm not okay with crime, but I think those penalties are too harsh". Then we are back to square one, and I'll argue that they don't really want to stop crime, they just want to pretend they want to stop crime. This is where I ask "Then what's your solution to decrease crime without stiffer penalties?" Ask the criminals nicely? Make a rule that bans stealing, rape and murder? (lol, this a knock at the folks that chirp with the "ban guns" banter)
The cool caveat....is that these "harsh" penalties that I'm talking about, don't HAVE TO HAPPEN. Folks are not only given the option, but given the option well in advance if they want to AVOID being punished with those severe penalties. The potential perp is 100% control. All they have to do is not commit those crimes.
There is cash/money/things of value IN police stations, much like there is in businesses. BUT... I've never heard of anyone going into the police station to rob them at gunpoint of whatever valuables they have. Why not? (And this would a great argument as to why we need MORE guns, NOT LESS to deter crime).
The other impossible part to overcome, is "government" doesn't want to reduce crime. Remember, if the penalties were harsh enough, crime would come to a near halt. They need crime. Its job security. If you eliminate/drastically decrease crime, you eliminated hundreds of thousands of jobs.
Sooooo.....we are all forced to sit back and take it.
