Sigh... There is no easy answer here. Can we all (both sides) agree that it is frustrating that a murderer/ rapist/ pedophile/ whatever can live in jail with all his meals provided, entertainment and health privileges, etc, while there are many good, decent homeless people who we do nothing to help? They starve to death, or freeze in winter because nobody is willing to help "the bums who won't get a job" and yet criminals are given food and shelter at our expense. Just seems wrong, doesn't it? So what can be done? There is increasing frustration at "criminal rights" being greater then the rights of innocents.
Here's another stupid example. There was a 7-up ad pulled because it shows the spokesperson in jail and when he drops his 7-up, he says "I'm not picking that up". 7-up was forced to remove it because it made fun of prison rape and hurt the criminals feelings... Give me a break.
