Problems with Trespassers

The system is broken. The criminals get a slap on the hand even with multiple law breaking instances but it seems if a normal citizen somehow got mixed up in something accidentally that they would be screwed.

It may not be totally broken, but it sure needs a lot of help to do a better job. A lack if citizen involvement is a big part of the reason the system is in bad shape.

So, what have you done recently to help fix the system? Have you been involved in local government to promote the improvement of the criminal justice system?

And Zimmerman is getting crushed for his involvement. Any doubt his troubles are going to make a lot of people decide not to get involved? Folks will just hole up in their homes with firearms to protect themselves. Bugger to everyone else.

Not the kind of involvement I was talking about as I am not a big fan of amateur cops. The volunteer security folks present more problems than they solve, mainly due to the lack of proper training and experience.

Not at the moment, teaching my kids to do right (they are the future) and making ends meet has to come first. My work does not easily allow for this. We'll see in a couple years. I do promote the prez candidate that I think would help the most but local government stuff is happening while I'm working. My oldest just got his criminal justice degree, if there's enough kids like him then the future will be looking up.

How about you?

My involvement waxes and wanes. I get frustrated with the politicians that are willing to buy fancy toys, build buildings, and cater to the contractors and developers, but not one cent for upgrading police and fire training and salaries. If you have a small-town mentality/pay grade, you are gonna get small-town cops.

Hang in there with the young'ns. Thats the best investment you con make at present.

I know what you mean. It gets disheartening when you have a chance to vote in a really good guy but he loses to the yes man. This particular guy was going for governor of my state, so now he's working at a group that is trying to better the country in other ways. Pretty amazing guy.
