The sad thing about the burglaries around Hurricane Dean is that they are just the testing ground of what this person (persons?) can do.
He/they will most likely do it again.
Reading the paper I noticed that many of the people that go through the court system are on probation or they had criminal records for minor offences with lenient penalties.
That did not stop their behaviour once back in the community.
I wonder how many small offences (with the already abused mitigating factors of drug use, etc) are considered to become a serious offender.
How many opportunities need to be given as to respect the quota of human rights before the abuse of the right humans (those who respect the laws and the community) takes place?
In this case the right humans were abused blatantly when the charity organisations were broken into.
It is clear to me that for future generations education and good role models will chisel a better society.
A society where we respect the no right turn sign in Harbour Drive, where we do not throw trash out of the car window, where we do not drive our car over the side walk (scaring pedestrians) just because the traffic stopped. (All of the above happens daily here… and it is wrong).
A very bright future could be achieved with education.
In the meantime, would a much stiffer penalty be a detriment?
I agree with the editor, I hope the perpetrators choke with one of those peanuts. Should we give them a hand with that?
