What? You've actually won it before?

Come through Mexico. That border is the most porous.

Well, being an island we have that as a 360 degree problem

Welcome to america, the land of the largest prison population in the world (among the highest incarceration rate). 25% of the world's prisoners, to be exact, even with only 5% of the world's population. Yea, it says alot when communist north korea has a lower incarceration rate than America.

It also speaks volumes when a 19 year old texan kid has the potential to get life in prison for pot brownies but another texas woman gets 2 years for ripping off her 6 year old son's genitals and trying to glue them back on. This country is so grotesquely fixated on its drug war, but not real psychos. The U.S, at the very least in its judicial system, is as backwards as its ever been.

I'll keep that in mind, I got a huge SUV,backseats down I can stretch out easily, Ford Explorers FTW. I'll just park it in the middle lane of the 405 and have me a snooze! (NO ONE WILL NOTICE, YOU DO NOT MOVE ON THE 405)


I am one cool dude

You don't need to worry about psychos with guns, the non-psychos with guns will sort them out.

As i read, the jails in the US of A are privately owned, and managed.
Only in the US ...

So, to put it bluntly, the more 'criminals' a prison accommodates, the more money it makes - from the inmates, their relatives, and the state.

No wonder Sheriff Arpaio promotes law ewnforcement against e.g. immigrants, there's a whole business branch living on that

Law enforcement will always seek the easy road, budgets rely on quotas, and income brought in from petty traffic stops, yet 3 shootings in one week happens less than a mile from me, and its a goddamn mystery what happened...

Yet the DUI stop at 1 am happened as per scheduled, requiring 4 cars in a small town...

Good job boys, drunks are bad, guns are, risky....I would rather catch some jerk with a bad inspection sticker, or bad headlight....than a real criminal, they might actually force me to do police work,.

You forgot to mention that non violent drug offenders outnumber the amount of rapists and murderers.

The sheer amount of people in jail for pot alone, forget the 3 strikes law that gives life sentences to pot heads, who got caught too many times.

Great law enforcement! Gettin' those hardcore criminals off the street....

Or justifying their overinflated police budgets with soft arrests.

I would like them to solve the outbreak of gun violence and shootings on the border of my town, but they are too busy busting joint smokers. No bull, there is outright gang violence breaking out one town over from me, alot of shootings, but the cops here are scared, and no one tells them anything when they do ask, maybe law enforcements priorities are messed up, because of quotas, and sheer lazyness of sucking on the infinite teat of the taxpayer.

I find it funny the police is the only union to get a raise out of all the unions (during the recession), yet crime has gone up?
