Longer sentences may not deter the recidivist offender but it'll keep them off the streets and that's what most of us want.
Build more prisons and bang 'em up for longer! And make them break rocks for road fill while they're in there.

for a while some of the local youths thought it was amusing to lob a few rocks on my roof every fortnight or so
one weekend, the little sods snuck into my yard and turned my power off and opened fire
local cop wad uly called because i was fed up with it by now, and i was told "go after them yourself, give them a fright and they'll **** off and leave you alone"
i wandered out, turned the maglight on and banged it on the verandah rail..... followed a few seconds later by the cane knife..... very fast footsteps followed heading anywhere but my yard...... fine by me
next afternoon i happened to walk past the local police station/residence, casually mentioned what happened, and informed him that if i had to chase them, i WOULD catch them, and i WOULD scalp the little ****ers
funnily enough it never happened again
I totally disagree. These bludgers know they are going to get lenient sentences so do not care. Mandatory minimum sentencing is called for not discertionary sentencing where I get 6months and you get 18 months for exactly the same offence. Also accountability needs to come into effect and repatriation made to the victims, personally by the offender in monetary terms. When they know it is going to have an effect on them and cost them in real money terms other than a holiday at HMs bed and breakfast.Quote:

IMHO, being flogged with a rattan is overkill - it's a bunch of 4 foot long split canes tied together and slapped across your back just below the shoulder blades... the spreading out of the canes as it hits the skin just tears it open... 4-5 strokes and there is no skin left, 8-10 and bone is exposed - it's pretty full on stuff.
The best bit is for you massochists - if the "floggee" faints or whatever part way through the sentence, they take em down, heal em up and bring em back for a second go to complete the sentence! :o
Bring back chain gangs and let them try breaking rocks sure that will sort a few of them out.
ATH had a similar thing happen to me when got home one night to find someone had broken into my house and was in process of pinching my toolbox, in my case my 56kg rot wheeller was my 7kg jackrussel, I bet they wern't bragging to there mates about being attacked my little rat wheeler when she took a chunk out, bet they kept that one really quiet.
I'm a teacher and have had the egging thing happen before by some young turds from my school. It happened 3 times and not once did the hit my car just the house and everyone else cars. By this time i figured that they must know who i am eg. from my school to hit my house only. But as per usual with these things the dumb asses can't stop talking about it at school, so needless to say I found out pretty quick who it was. They were bad kids in one of my classes anyway so i arranged a meeting with parents about school work and just decided to talk about the egging at the end of the meeting. Sorted it pretty damm quick when parents were there let me tell you. By the time i got home the turds were waiting there with their dads in tears apologising.
As a side note i have now moved to an area where less students live.
