There is another way of looking at it. For some life in the townships is a lot worse than life in prison - so releasing them is giving them punishment (yes, yes I know that it is a sideways thought but I think that it is true for some who are jobless and don't know where the next meal or shelter is coming from)

Completely disagree, I've never seen that. I've spoken to prisoners that are about to be released many times and all of them say that they can't work and they will still do crimenand that is their own choice, not because there is no jobs! There are many jobs the problem is that many people don't want to work! Let me give you an example, I've got many clients at the Goldfields mine by Carletonville and I've spoken to top management asking them why is there so many foreighners working there, why they don't employ South Africans, every single one of them told me that South Africans are lazy, they go one day and don't pitch the next, they are unreliable and demanding at the same time and I'm not just talking about actual miners but all different types of jobs around the mine! There are millions and millions of legal and illegal foreigners employed in SA, so there's jobs always just not many people who are prepared to work, going to prison on purpose so you can get fed is unheard of!---There is no traffic at the extra mile---Comment

So the implication is that ALL the people that do not have jobs, beg and do not have a place to stay are criminals and are too lazy to work.....interesting...who would have thought...Well then, even the better reason not to get involved with people in this country considering that so many of them are useles low-lifes, better watch out hey, that lady begging at the side of the road looking for food for kid is just going to stab you because she is just a low-life who doesn't want to work.
I take it that you chose to ignore the phrase "FOR SOME" that I used.Comment

i learnt that it is better to let a person see what you plan to do to them and let them think about it...than actually doing the deed...let use cutting off fingers as an example...if lets say for example you holding a persons finger in a bolt cutter...the thought that go thru the persons head are far worse than when the finger is actually removed...the other issue is if you actually have to do it...chances are you will be arrested for assualt GBH...but if you dont have to actually go thru with it...you get what you need and walk away...then it its a bit of tit for tat...they cant arrest you for threating the person because they will be arrested for robbery...whos gona believe who if there were witnesses who saw the person break into the vehicle...but didnt see the bag being retrieved...being a public forum it a good thing that i would never do anything so bad.Murdock, tell us how you convinced the guy to give you the handbag. Some "gentle persuasion"?
It does take guts to confront someone in this way and I thank you for that.
Point that we missed here is how we much can rely on false security such as smash & grab foil.
Remember that as a witness, you may arrange with the prosecutor to call you about an hour before your testimony is to be heard so that you do not have to waste all that time in court.Comment

I don't want to argue anymore, so I'll leave you with these words: "Everyone wants to change the world but no one sees that they need to change themselves."---There is no traffic at the extra mile---Comment

I agree, the damn goverment must see that they need to change themselves, they must deliver the services that I pay for and I will not do not do their work for them. Other than that I don't want to change the world, I just want to have a lot of money and sit on my ass doing squat (damn, I should join the goverment)...Comment
