At some point you have to really scare people into following laws. 

People who commit crimes like this have no idea what delayed gratification means. They only respond to the here and now. So basically you have to physically hurt them to teach them. Jail time does nothing. 

Any facts to back this up? 

Is you stupid

They don’t fear the punishment. 

So that means that people should be publicly tortured and mutilated for a bloodthirsty crowd’s amusement? Someone who says this is either posturing  (which is bad in its own way) or is way sicker than the criminals they want to see tortured;


A public neutering in the middle of town at noon on a Saturday  would be just punishment in my opinion. Grab a beer and a beach chair and enjoy the show. No anesthesia can be used either. Adult audience only.”

The fact that someone feels comfortable saying “shoot the monkeys” says a lot about the tone of this thread. It’s fucking embarrassing and if you don’t think so then  there’s no point in anyone halfway intelligent trying to talk to you.

Sounds like they were watching these guys, probably saw them trying to sell stuff and figured they'd check and see if it was legit.

They should have stuck to some King Cobra.

I'm fine with them getting anesthesia and a properly performed amputation in an OR. I'm not a monster.

This world will be a better place without serial thieves, murders, rapists, drug smugglers...and a lot of Tax payer money will be saved which can be better spent on kids education.

So, MPJC... Are you suggesting we should reward these type of folks that take (steal) from productive people that work to get what they desire? If so should the general public reward them for this behavior and  simply say "hey you took what you wanted vs work for it.. Keep it it's yours"? 

I m curious your position on this. And have you ever been ripped off? Your house, car etc.... where someone broke in and took your stuff?

What could possibly give you the idea that my aversion to psychopathic sadism means that I think we should do absolutely nothing and let thieves get away without any consequences? I’m not saying that punishment - even harsh punishment - isn’t appropriate. I’m saying that there’s something profoundly wrong with expressing that you would take pleasure in seeing someone publicly tortured and mutilated. The choice isn’t between public torture for entertainment or doing nothing at all and to suggest otherwise is both cruel and stupid. 

I’m also objecting to the racism being either implied or expressed overtly. Some of that has been deleted but here’s an example that I just screenshotted. Do you think this is okay? White collar criminals steal at orders of magnitude above what these thieves do but you don’t see the same vitriol aimed at them.

Australia would certainly have been far better off had they not imported 160,000 piece of shit criminal Brits and Irish back in the 1800s.

160,000 imported stupid poor criminal white people turned into an entire continent of stupid poor white people.

The only thing dumber than a white Australian is their ancestors.

North Carolina just released a murderer of Iryna Zarutska caught on film six months from the event. These shitbags aren't getting any real time. Horse thieving used to be dealt with. Stop being compassionate for those that are less than human. 

The reality is the Russell family are now a target and will have to either Move or be constantly looking over their shoulder as long as those bikes are easy pickings. You think I am wrong, dealers are being hit repeatedly from the same people.

Perhaps I should explain the point of the above statement. Australia 182 stated that he can’t stand “these n*****”. He goes on to say something about the South Sudanese, but the context is a discussion about the people who stole Kailub Russell’s bikes, so he seems to be making a statement linking these two separate things (the bike thieves and the South Sudanese). It’s pretty obvious what that is. His derogatory term appears to apply to both - and can sensibly be read as a broad racial generalization. If that’s the sort of thing that the Vital community is ok with, then I find that to be surprising, disappointing, and a shame. I’ve thought most people here to be pretty decent but perhaps I’ve misjudged. 

I get the anger that causes people to advocate for cruel punishments. I don’t like it, but I get it. Overt racial slurs eliciting anything other than universal condemnation, on the other hand, is something I don’t understand.

I don't use, or care for racial slurs either, but I can fully understand the frustration with both the perpetrators and the enablers in local and state gov'ts that allow for them to run roughshod over local populations.  Your lack of proportionality is puzzling...it's fine to condemn slurs (we should - absolutely), but that stuff pales in comparison to these scumbag thieves, murderers, rapists, etc. that should not be walking free - ever.

When did I say that thieves, rapists, or murderers should be walking free? I absolutely don’t think that. Is it either public castration or nothing? 

Of course rape and murder is worse than using a racial slur. Doesn’t mean we should tolerate racial slurs.

MPJC, Have you ever had your house or car broken into and had items taken from you?

And what do you think it just punishment for these two in this case, who have been arrested before for similar crimes? Clearly the punishment for the earlier crimes did nothing to scare them from doing it again.. and again.. and again. Keep in mind what they did in this case.. went into a mans home, took a bunch of stuff...etc. So what should be done for punishment to prevent this behavior.

Interesting debate technique in creating, binary false choices (and quite disingenuous).  Not a fan of this at all...it's simply not the path to an honest exchange of ideas.

Having dealt with theft of two newer 450s, then watching them daily for years now on Instagram and the police refusing to do anything about it, ive lost hope. Those morons will be back to it in no time and will absolutely never learn. All ive learned is to protect my stuff better and be prepared to handle it on my own. My bikes get wheels pulled and a GPS tracker installed (not a cheesy air tag).

MPJC, Have you ever had your house or car broken into and had items taken from you?

And what do you think it just punishment for these two in this case, who have been arrested before for similar crimes? Clearly the punishment for the earlier crimes did nothing to scare them from doing it again.. and again.. and again. Keep in mind what they did in this case.. went into a mans home, took a bunch of stuff...etc. So what should be done for punishment to prevent this behavior. 

 

We once had about $20K of canola stolen from a bin on our land once when my dad and I were still farming. I’ll admit that in my anger I’d have liked to have seen the thieves strung up by the balls. But that’s not the best time to judge. Upon sober reflection, that’s not the kind of person I want to be. I’d just like the value of our stuff back and put the thieves away so they don’t do it again and so other would be thieves know that if they get caught they will lose their freedom for a long time. I don’t need them to suffer for the sake of my loss - their pain wouldn’t help me. If it did, I’d be concerned. And that’s my point - not so much about punishment and more about our own moral psychology. Do you really want to be the kind of person who wants to see and enjoy things like torture and mutilation? That’s what I’m reacting to: Some of what’s posted here is sadism dressed up as justice. I don’t have to know precisely how justice should look to know that sadism isn’t justice, and that if you find yourself enjoying thoughts of sadistic punishment, that’s probably not something to be proud of.

It's not about me taking joy in it, it's a recognition that some people are animals who can only be deterred by the threat of pain. It takes some small level of intelligence than many of the people committing these crimes do not have for the threat of confinement to be a deterrent. Everyone understands pain. If I calmly put one of my dogs in it's crate the other one doesn't care. If I smack one of my dogs they both run away scared.
