Since our government doesnt seem to have the first clue how to deter crime, I have decided to come up with a few ideas of my own. These ideas are meant to deter and prevent criminals, rather than passing laws that affect everyone.

1. It shall be lawful to violently rob anyone you see selling or using illegal drugs. You may take all they have, except the illegal substance, which you may insert into any of their body cavities you wish...

2. Anyone you hear bragging about being a criminal you may shoot, so long as you place the shot in a non-lethal area of their body.

3. The penalty for rape or child molestation shall be as follows: The perpetrator shall be handcuffed to a chair and left alone in a soundproof room for one hour with the victim's Husband and/or Father. The only thing they wont be allowed to do to you is kill you. The justice department will, however, understand if accidents happen from time to time...

4. Every adult will carry a firearm on their person at all times.

5. Road rage shall be encouraged. If someone's driving like an ass, run them off the road. They dont call that part of your vehicle the bumper for nothing.

6. Anyone who commits armed robbery and is caught will be indentured to their victim for the rest of their life. This servitude will be enforced by a 40 thousand volt shock collar, and the victim's prerogative to end their life whenever they grow tired of them.

7. When a person is convicted of murder, at the sentencing the victim's family shall not be searched coming into the courtroom, and shall be allowed to sit right behind the defendent, with no partition between them. Emotional distress shall, also, be looked upon as a perfectly understandable reason whereby a normally law-abiding, upstanding citizen like the victim's father may do something rash, and we shouldn't hold it against him, et cetera ad infinitum.

Can anyone think of any more? I'm sure you can...

I think #4 would be all it would take to lower crime rate a significant amount.

You start making thieves think twice before acting, and that second though can/will change many of their minds about whether the crime is worth it.

Sounds a little brew inspired. However a nail gun to the testes for rape is not out of the question.

i think cutting off of the member would be a better solution, then beat the hell out of the raper.

with said "member"??????? That's some real punishment.

For a while, the death penalty for rape sounded like a good idea to me... then I heard the other side of the argument. If the rapist knows that he will be put to death if caught, he'll just kill his victim.... what's the diff to him?

I'm thinking "cruel and unusual crimes" deserve "cruel and unusual punishment"..... alas, the founding fathers thought differently, and I'll concede to their knowledge.

Another of Mr. Heinlein's ideas from Starship Troopers... a punishment needs to be "cruel and unusual to actually work" or something along those lines. I love that book.
