Why California IS and will continue to always be bankrupt!!!

LGHT

Not sure if anyone has been paying attention to the news, but California is all but bankrupt and is now threatening to close all Government offices 2 days a week!! I have read hundreds of articles on why California is in debt, but this one really got under my skin. I can't post the story because it's subscription based, but here is the scoop.

A guy rapes several girls, and gets charged with rape and several sex crimes and ends up in jail for 157 years. While in jail he rapped an inmate and the guy got back at him by stabbing him in the neck cutting his spinal cord, but not killing him. Now the guys is a quadriplegic and requires 24/7 medical care. Since the medical facilities did such a great job he ended up getting an ulcer on his back that got infected and he sued the prison system and won a claim for $750k. This does not include over $1.25 million the taxpayers had to pay for his medical care. All in all in 7 years the state has spent almost $2,000,000 on a guy who should have been killed to begin with. Since the state is in such financial trouble they wanted to simply release him and send him to a half way home and cut the cost to about a third, but wouldn't you know the court of appeals denied the request and now the tax payers will have to continue to spend almost $200,000 a year to continue caring for a convicted rapist.
 
what are the rules on this part of the forum....I'd like to state my opinion of what to do with rapists....if I do it without swearing but it involves violence i'm not getting kicked off am I? IT'S A REALLY GOOOOOOOOOOD IDEA!
 
Utterly insane!! :crazy: :crazy:

And I have to say, that is the biggest pile of steaming hot, freshly dropped dogshit if ever I have heard it!
 
I read a while back that the main reason why California will never get out of debt (it did issue IOU's about a year back...how utterly 'high school-ish' is that?) is that even if they tried to pass reforms at state level, the state constitution grants so much power to individuals (more apparently than any other state) that all it would take would be for two people in a population of 60 million to say 'no' to an amendement that would allow badgers to wear mascara after 6:00pm on weekdays within rural areas (for example) and it would tie up the system for decades and cost taxpayers hundreds of millions. :crazy:

It's about as horrifically PC as any place I've read about (worse than the UK, and in the UK they are as insanely PC as you can imagine).

But then again, it does give pets better rights and provisions than it does for the human population...maybe elect a hamster as leader? :lol:

You need an authoritatian leader...if 'Das Gobernator' was a method actor, you'd just need him to get into Terminator mode...:cool:

How can a convicted felon sue anybody? I didn't think they had that right.

That's the problem with the most (and I mean MOST) Representative Democracy in the World... maybe even in the Galaxy...even bacteria have rights.

Although I find it very amusing that in such a free and liberal place... Google controls and watches all, like the Wizard of Cali!
 
haha, to reply then to what I always thought was a good idea: I figure they should get a glass box, with magnifying convective properties on all angles. Lock up the sicko pervert inside and stick him in the middle of the dessert....air it on national television while he slow cooks alive, and let it be a lesson for any other pervs....i think it would actually decrease the crime rate...

Bring back the chain gang! :)

'oh don't you know. That's the sound of the men, working on the chain...

Maybe Donald Trump can be convinced to be Governor of Cali for a term or two (You're all FIRED!)

If the urge to commit such a crime is a compulsion, a mental ilness, then that would not be a deterrent!

That is true.

In Germany we have the problem, that those rapists and child molesters have a right to get a therapy. Okay so far. But as soon as the therapists state that their therapy was a success they are set free when their penalty is over. If a prisoner is clever enough to convince the therapists, that he has successfully been treated, he can go out and rape the next kid. Then there is a thing called "Sicherungsverwahrung", a preventive detention a dangerous psycho prisoner has to be put in, usually in a forensic psychiatric ward, after the penalty is over if the judge decides so. Sometimes it happens that the therapists state, that the therapy was a failure and the prisoner is still dangerous but the responsible district attorney forgets to request the "Sicherungsverwahrung" before deadline so the prisoner has to be set free. You can imagine the consequences.
 
Yeah cali has good weather and nice beaches, and was at one time the place to be, but it's getting to the point where that isn't enough anymore. Just too many of these horror stories about guys rapping and killing for fun and getting out on parole and guess what they do it again and again and then the news and media makes a big deal about how the "system" failed. Then you add on the completely corrupt government run by the unions, and large corporations that actually control the city, the increasing crime level, taxes and one of the worse educational system in the country then what do you have? I was born and raised in cali, but I can honestly say I will probably not raise a family or live my last days here.
