What do Osama Bin Laden and Drug Dealers have in Common?

Popular thought dictates that if you kill either one, 10 more replacements will sprout up.

This is immediately what came to mind while reading the “letter to the editor” that I have placed below.

Lock ’em up
Your recent article was clever and skillfully written. However, while you glibly criticized Oakland Police Sergeant Cronin, you failed to address the main point he offered; that more cops will result in negligible crime reduction. On this point Sergeant Cronin is actually correct. While crime has many complex sociological causes, there is really only truly one effective way to reduce it: Put criminals in prison so they cannot victimize innocent people. Having more cops on the street will not accomplish that. Having more cops will only reduce the time it takes for an officer to come to a victim’s house to take a report. That hardly qualifies as “crime prevention.”

If you truly want to reduce crime, then you should write articles favoring more prison construction and more mandatory sentence rules. Then fewer criminals would be on the street, ergo fewer crimes. The pills soft generic viagra hold sildenafil citrate as an active and key component, which works fabulously to allay the snag of impotence. If the penile arteries have blockages, they can be temporarily cheap professional viagra be eliminated by medication, but not be rid completely. The combination of any of these and valsonindia.com cialis 5 mg can interact with some prescription medications, cause undesirable strengthening of other drugs, which are called nitrates (used for treating stenocardia). It contains the same active ingredient cheap levitra india valsonindia.com called Sildenafil. Criminals are not stupid. They do not fear being arrested because it is not a punishment. They have usually been arrested dozens of times. However, going to prison for several years is a true punishment. Therefore, if you create a credible fear of going to prison, then you may actually create a general deterrent effect, which will also reduce crime. Cronin was correct; you just didn’t let him explain.

Wrong. Negatory.

Annnnt. Dead.

This dude has no clue re the hood mentality on prison.

N*ggas AIN’t shook re going to jail.

They look at it as “just another part of the game”.

If more jail time were a actual deterrent: 1. Why do so many men/women, go to prison, do their time, turn around and go right back?

Your boy Mark Poland fails to realize that, when a street dude is about do dirt, popo and jail is that last thing on his, or for that matter, her, mind.
