Former gang member with 106 convictions back behind bars
You gotta wonder, how society puts up with garbage like this?
How many convictions does a person need before we decide to throw away the key or simply terminate the problem person?

Ecurb Noselrub

Rather shocking. Society has to have the right to protect itself against incorrigible criminals. Should be in for life.

Dobermonster

Before my out what?

Just kidding. :P

I'm against the death penalty, but life in prison? Yes, please.

I can arrange that I have access to a dungeon!

Is it really worth it, to let this person loose on society just to see if he has reformed? Someone in authority ought to be held accountable if they let him out and he harms someone else.

I'm not sure about incurring the cost of life imprisonment, I am quite happy to put him down.

I'm inclined to think the same.

I wouldn't kill him. I'd lock him up and have him do at least 8 solid hours of work a day in order to earn his 'board'. Prisoners who were dangerous offenders used to be put to work building things, constructing things, doing manual, menial jobs. Now, it seems like they're just stuck in a cell and allowed to read, write, or watch TV. Is it any wonder so many of them prefer jail? Send this idiot someplace that'll make his time useful.

I think that's been done on a couple of occasions and in the end the inmates took over.  ;D

Well, see, I time traveled and told them to send the inmates to the Arctic to duke it out with the polar bears, but they took a wrong turn crossing the Atlantic...

C'est la vie...  ;D

Too Few Lions

people like John Gillies definitely should never be allowed back out into society.
