    sucks but the state of California gave him 3 strikes, so he had 2 chances before this to make something of himself. hell jail was probably better for him, he couldnt commit anymore crimes to innocent people and it gave him a good time to handle his crack addiction.

    how many times does it take for a person to change themselves? or rather how many more times should we allow someone to go out and try to commit more crimes?

    stop doing criminal bull(*)(*)(*)(*) and you wont be in the slammer, its that easy.

    California you say. Big liberal state. and this is somehow the rest of the country's fault. In particular conservatives fault? I love that. Libs do this stuff and then somehow it's not their responsibility.

    LIberalism. Ideas so good they have to be mandated.

    i dont know where anyone gets off saying its anyones elses fault other than the person who landed himself in jail 3 times. our country nor either political party is at fault for this mans criminal actions. he himself knew the consequences and in the end he himself paid for his actions.

    hell he was a bum and a nobody before this so like i said jail was probably a blessing for him considering he had a bed to sleep in every night, had opportunities to shower, was served 3 meals a day, and i doubt he could further his crack addiction. he was living 100 times better in jail than he lazy ass did on the street.

    in the end though once again, its the criminals fault alone, and trying to blame anyone else is really retarded.

    With the attitude of the Aussies, we need to start charging them double for for the Arms we sell 'em. or they could buy from China. You know where if one in 5000 AK-47's blows up taking the shooters head off and that's an acceptable number.

    Greatness is subjective. I believe this is the Greatest Country In The World!! And if you want to look at it in objective terms. We are the most productive, the most technologically advanced, the highest level of specialized education, and on a level economically that no one has ever been close to matching.

    Yeah he sounds like a huge jerk but 25 to life? His crimes weren't that bad (compared to others). Murderers get off easier.

    The 'most powerful country in the world"yes you lead all Nations in bankruptcy both economic and POLITICAL [see current crop of republican\tea party presidental hopefuls] in destroying the wages and conditions of the working class [see 2teir wages system of USA],in being humiliated in 2 imperailist military adventures[see Iraq and Afganistan debacles],in declineing world influence yes the unUSA leads the world as the state of the art in "F"word" UP.

    And the most powerful money printing presses just keep on keeping on pumping out that credit creation day after day minute after minute putting the last nail into the USA's coffin.

    Oh most powerful Nation on earth the more powerful global economy is smashing you to bits.

    Hey unUSA whats the matter the forces of Globaliised everything pulled the carpet from under your feet or something ,whats the matter you don't set the rules anymore ,poor didum's big bad globalism kicking the crap out of you ,Boo Hoo go cry to Uncle Sam .

    Live in your past glorys ,its the only Glory you have left.PAST GLORY.

    You Know you are in trouble when political maggots like Obama look good in relation to the 'Opposition"many even here will vote against their better judgement for Obama even though they are core republican supporters so putrid and stupid is the Republican Tea Party of the unUSA.

    Letting the criminals off the hook again ,allowing the banks and corporations to have Socialism is retarded.

    the political thinking of the USA ,is backward as Retarded.

    The teaching of creationism alongside Evolutionary Scientific Laws ,is criminal and retarded ,yes brain washing of the children of the USA is criminal and retarded.

    And belief in" god "well retarded isn't quite the word ,more like delusional insanity that should get one locked up.

    Science says that all individuals are a product of their enviroment not what they think they may be or not as individuals.

    Society determines our behaviours not moral imperatives or will power in our heads ,they are a response to our enviroment not Gods will or Sining.

    Individual thinking DOESN"T exist we humans are and always have been and always will be SOCIAL ANIMALS First an foremost.

    Drug addiction is a disease Both social and of the mind ,not a moral weakness.

    Otherwise why is the unUSA fighting for control of the Afghanistan opium fields?

    Maybe the perspective is a cheap supply for more of the unUSA Population as unemployment is about to skyrocket past 10%.

    Keep them doped up keep them controlled.

    And of course always blame the victim of poverty .Never the fault of government policy ,does the government actually take responsibility for anything it does ,of course not its the fault of you the individual, that Lehmans brothers collapsed and had to be bailed out .

    That the government had to give them and their mates ,$7 000 000 000 000 of Capitialist welfare money.

    When I saw the title of the thread, I thought you were posting about Australia, you know, the country where whites beat up innocent Asians.

    Harsh as the man's sentence was, it was in response to his being arrested for the third time, thereby being considered an habitual criminal. If he was arrested three times, it is a fair assumption that he committed many more than just three crimes. Either that or he is the world's most unlucky or inept criminal, being arrested every time $10. The fact that neither the owner of the purse or the victim of the mugging was injured is also neither here not there. The man committed the crimes.

    Since it was a church into which he was breaking, and one which had often in the past allowed him to sleep there and fed him, he could simply have asked to once again be fed and given a place to sleep. Instead of doing that, he chose to break in. The act of breaking into a building in order to steal something is called burglary and is a crime.

    Someone who has two prior arrests and who knows of California's, Three Strikes and You're Out, policy should be careful to not commit a third crime.

    Despite both the author's and the OP's attempts to make the man seem the innocent victim of an unfair law system, the facts are, he committed at least three crimes, two of which involved victims who were present at the time.

    The sentence may have been harsh but it wasn't arbitrary. The man earned the sentence through his continual anti-social, and in fact, criminal behavior.

    Evey once in a while a post is made that is so preposterous as to be laughable. Your post fits almost perfectly into that category.

    Postings such as yours are retarded.
