[Genestho]

Must serve 85% of 93 years, before beginning a seperate term of 429 years to life.

Hislar was convicted of 33 felony counts last month in Superior Court, including robbery, burglary, carjacking and evading police. His crime spree was carried out in Hermosa Beach, Long Beach, Los Angeles and parts of the San Gabriel Valley before he was arrested leaving Disneyland on Sept. 24.

Among his crimes was carjacking a vehicle with two children inside, burglarizing a home, and fleeing a sheriff's deputy who broke both her legs in the pursuit.

Hislar had three prior convictions, including two 2006 residential burglaries and a 2002 federal bank robbery. The 429-year sentence was achieved under a California "three strikes" law,which provides for a term of 25 years to life for each felony conviction.

Sorry to sound like a redneck here BUT!
Why the fuck do they just not put a bullet in his head and be done with it? The cost to the taxpayer (in a recession etc) is unwarranted.

I've gone off the rails in the past but there comes time (usually in court) when something in your head tells you that you've done some silly things and it's time to stop doing these silly things. Jail was a big enough deterrent for me just for petty shite.

For bigger crimes????

If you don't stop doing such things.... someone will shoot you!

GRRRRRRR

[toebug]

Yep, shoot tha bastard. Bullet are cheap.

[Genestho]

exactly what you guys are saying

Except, well..you know..... sweet and PC little NZ, the reality is, a bullet as a sentence is not a solution that would be excepted here anytime soon, unless the offender were to ignore the "stop or I'll shoot" warning....


Why should we fund a "University of Crime" for serious violent offenders....?
However, if we down graded what's on offer inside, expense need'nt be as much of an issue? Seems fairly simple..one would think...

It is already being done, and no human rights are being violated, and well human rights are important, especially when the offender has neglected to notice that point themselves ....
