• Appealing to base prejudices

    From Rich80105@3:770/3 to All on Thursday, November 24, 2016 22:56:13
    One of National's common distractions is to find someone to blame -
    about anything - and preferably offer a "solution"- Laura Norder is
    one of their favourite fronts for such activity. A while ago they
    through a bone ot the unthinking bigots and passed the "3 Strikes"
    legislation. A simple concept for simple minds, and I am sure it went
    down well with some Nat-supporters.

    As a result, instead of reducing prison populations as some other
    countries are doing, we face needing to pay for a new prison -
    NAtional will doubtless just borrow the estimated cost, but it will
    need to be paid for sometime, and contributing to that cost is their
    silly autocratic bone to the scared and simple.

    Fantastic to see Dickbot hugging recidivist crims on behalf of the left.

    Voters take note: The left would like to see violent recidivist crims out and among you and your family. Think about that before you vote in 2017.

    I am happy to acknowledge that I am prejudiced against recidivist violent offenders. I endorse any party that will remove such people from my family's presence and reject any party that endorses including them in my family's presence.

    There are reasons Labour's polling is stuck in the 20's. This sort of shit is but one example.

    Rich must be desperate. This is a losers argument.
    Some time ago there was an offender who bashed an elderly woman and said in court he only did it because she tried to stop him from stealing from her. He went to prison. This argument of Rich's uses the same flawed and disgusting logic.
    He suggests that the law is the reason for more people going to prison - of course the real reason is their criminal behaviour. They are scum and I don't want them out in the community.

    Predictable unthinking responses that demonstrate the appeal to blind
    prejudice works often enough that it beats actually doing the hard
    work of competent government.

    Sadly we do not know what the sentence would have been without the 3
    strikes legislation - but it is clear it would have been shorter.

    It costs taxpayers about $100,000 per year to keep him in prison, so
    that's up to $700,000 that can't be spent on something else.
    Herceptin: $20,000 per treatment cycle
    Hip replacement $20,000
    Teacher say $45,000 starting salary

    And meanwhile the prisoners tutor each other how to not get caught
    next time . . .

    In terms of priority, sentences such as this (together with a few
    million to build a new prison) all mitigate against that other
    distraction - tax cuts. Still, they knew those couldn't be afforded
    anyway - but the Nats will blame Labour anyway . . .

    They are doing a shit job of it then.
    They certainly are - the vast majority of offenders (better than 98%) effectively catch themselves, the remaining 2% are the minority of smart ones. Percentages courtesy of the police. The problem is not finding most of the offenders but preparing a case that will hold together under cross examination, one of the costs of democracy!

    that's liable to cost Labour about twenty odd percent of the vote.

    Teacher say $45,000 starting salary

    This $700,000 will be spent on people, the planet earth will send no
    invoice. So the arguement is one of who should get paid. People who work
    for, either directly or indirectly for the justice/prison system or
    something else.

    There is no doubt that pinching the ladies bottom was a heinous

    Of course rich is well known to take these recidivists into his house
    and helping them to rehabilitate /cynical mode off...

    Dickbot titled his post "appealing to base prejudices".

    I am happy to acknowledge that I am prejudiced against recidivist violent offenders. I endorse any party that will remove such people from my family's presence and reject any party that endorses including them in my family's presence.

    There are reasons Labour's polling is stuck in the 20's. This sort of shit is but one example.

    Predictable unthinking responses that demonstrate the appeal to blind prejudice works often enough that it beats actually doing the hard
    work of competent government.


    Which competent government is that Rich. Can't be Labour as overall they achieved nothing during nine long years apart from dropping government
    debt then building it up again over there last couple of years because
    of such stupidity as WFF, KiwiBank and KiwiRail.

    Sadly we do not know what the sentence would have been without the 3
    strikes legislation - but it is clear it would have been shorter.


    By the time someone has re-offended for the third time they're a
    liability to society Rich and deserve to be removed for longer periods.
    They are like you victims of their own stupidity ffs!

    It costs taxpayers about $100,000 per year to keep him in prison, so
    that's up to $700,000 that can't be spent on something else.
    Herceptin: $20,000 per treatment cycle
    Hip replacement $20,000
    Teacher say $45,000 starting salary


    Once again you guess wrongly Rich. If you didn't have your head up your
    arse you'd know that all your figures are like so much you post from ten
    years or so in the past.

    And meanwhile the prisoners tutor each other how to not get caught
    next time . . .


    Yet obviously they do Rich. But guess like you they're to bloody stupid
    to modify behaviour that is unacceptable to decent members of society.

    In terms of priority, sentences such as this (together with a few
    million to build a new prison) all mitigate against that other
    distraction - tax cuts. Still, they knew those couldn't be afforded
    anyway - but the Nats will blame Labour anyway . . .


    BULLSHIT! They've already canned the tax cuts because the money is
    needed to pay for the rebuild after the quakes in Kaikoura. But don't
    let inconvenient facts like that get in the way of another stupid post
    from Rich the trolling trotsy twat!

    Yet Rich still persists in telling us Labour cares about New Zealand.
    They care as much about New Zealand as often as Rich doesn't lie in his posts.... But guess Rich is still in love with the belief that if I lie
    is repeated often enough it will some how become the truth.

    How much does it cost to have this toerag out and assaulting people? How much does one trial cost when he commits his next offence?

    justice includes getting people back into lives that don't lead to

    about anything - and preferably offer a "solution"- Laura Norder is
    one of their favourite fronts for such activity. A while ago they
    through a bone ot the unthinking bigots and passed the "3 Strikes"
    legislation. A simple concept for simple minds, and I am sure it went
    down well with some Nat-supporters.

    As a result, instead of reducing prison populations as some other
    countries are doing, we face needing to pay for a new prison -
    NAtional will doubtless just borrow the estimated cost, but it will
    need to be paid for sometime, and contributing to that cost is their
    silly autocratic bone to the scared and simple.

    For a demonstration that matters are not so simple, read:

    Fantastic to see Dickbot hugging recidivist crims on behalf of the left. >>
    Voters take note: The left would like to see violent recidivist crims out
    and among you and your family. Think about that before you vote in 2017.

    I don't need to. My vote will be used in the most effective way to stop >Labour/Greens getting near the cheque book.

    Labour/Green won't need to spend as much as National for new prisons - justice includes getting people back into lives that don't lead to
    crime; National don;t understand that.

    The cost of a crime, investigation and court case is much higher than the cost of imprisonment. The intangible cost to victims of crime is even higher.

    Cheaper to lock up recidivist crims.

    But Dickbot will still hug them and continue to make lepers of the left wing parties he associates himself with.
