WHATEVER have we come to in this country regarding law and order? I have always believed that we should live by the laws, but, to do this, you must have laws that do justice to anyone who commits crime.

There is no justice now in this country and I can understand people being angry.

I have voted all my life, and I am 69 now, but I did not vote this time and I will never vote again until someone stops listening to the do-gooders and does something positive about crime.

All the measures that are being introduced are just not getting down to what is really needed -- that is real tough prison sentences and bringing back hanging, since DNA testing is now a safeguard against hanging the wrong person. Whatever did all those killed in the wars die for? Not for our country as it is now!
