Ranting 101
Hello party people,
Some of you out there are quite creative with your sites....I'm quite impressed. In this posting I will attempt to harness some of that creativity. Although I don't think I will be able to muster the creativity of my little brother whom I have discovered secrectly wants to be a male stipper. I guess not such a secret after the post Carsley.
I hope everyone is doing their best to stay cool in the midst of this global warming heat wave that we are experiencing throughout BC. We have opted to take full advantage of R & L's pool. Sleeping at night, not so easy. We have a wonderful air conditioner at our house. However, my lovely dog decided to chew through the 'air conditioner life lines' and it will be several hundreds of dollars to fix it. In the meantime my dog has set up a lemonade stand to try and earn enough money to fix it.
Here is a little something to fire out there......is there any justice in our court system? I think not. As a result people are not afraid to do the crime because there is no threat of any real time against them.
We have some lovely teenagers in our neighbor"hood" that use the hours between about 12 AM and 3AM to sell drugs in the church parking lot. It's basically like a drive thru, almost as efficient as the drive thru at Tim Hortons. Last night up to 15 different vehicles. And when a deal goes bad (as one or two did last night) a lot of swearing and yelling and the occasional knife and/or baseball bat fight. You may be asking what about the RCMP? Yes, we have informed them of this frequent activity and one night when the kids were on top of the church roof tearing pieces off and throwing them at another group of kids, we called the RCMP. They are short staffed and overworked. No wonder.....the same people they work to put away, usually get out right away and get back at it. Obviously, there is not a short term fix to this societal problem but longer term thinking shouldn't certain criminal activity come with stiffer sentences. It's human nature...if you think you can get away with something without repercussion you'll do it. If there is likelihood that you will be caught and have to serve a stiff sentence, human nature will likely force you to reassess and contemplate your actions. Some or most of this has to fall back on the parents or guardian's of these misguided youth. Like what the hell are they doing out at 3AM, Mon-Sun? Why are they out front of their apartment at 1PM higher than a kite? These kids are about 13 - 15 years old!
Anyway, I digress. I don't claim to know the answers and I'm not preaching from a pedestal. Nobody is perfect and individuals life circumstances are variable. Something more needs to be done......this is not that new of a problem.
All for now.

Hey...I have some friends who are RCMP officers and they are just as frustrated as you at the whole "justice system." It almost seems pointless to haul in the little idiots, considering the worst punishment (so to speak) they might receive is a little slap on the wrist. Why hold up your end of the job when nothing gets accomplished further on? It's a stupid vicious circle. I do agree that parents need to take a more active role...It's a shame that these people are blind to what their children are doing. Or are they?
