Truckers' Trucking Forum/Message Board - The Premiere Truck Driver Forum

Politics Do Not Pass/Pass With Care. Today's truckers are far more educated and cognizant of the issues regarding politics due to the sharp increase in talk radio, and various trucking news media sources. Talk politics. Do truckers like politicians?

I would love to see some of our liberal buddies work in a prison that they have made. See how long they continue to believe the shite works. I've been shanked, cut, spit on, bit, kicked, you name it I've been through it, and I'll be damned if I am gonna tolerate it. My last investigation was excessive use of force in which I was the injured party when trying to apply "handle with care" approved restraint technique to remove a 250lb girl from the back of a coworker. After taking the girl to the ground since she wouldn't settle for just being removed from the staff member she pulled a muscle in her back while continuing to fight me. She got no time added, my coworker has scars on her shoulder from the bitemarks from this "youth", and I was moved to administration pending investigation for improper use of force resulting in injury to a youth.

I'd rather be labeled as a barbarian and have a system in place that punishes the transgressor than a bleeding heart liberal who says to give them everything they want and they will behave.

Every society has ways of punishing their crooks. That part hasn't changed. But all societies eventually evolve and reevaluate their systems. What's stopping us from employing methods like burnings, crucifixions, and beheadings? Is it just the simple fact that the Constitution forbids cruel and unusual punishment? Well how did the Constitution get written to exclude such things? I'd like to think we as a country are better and more enlightened than the middle eastern countries, and I attribute that fact with out secular nature. Other countries have moved on. The middle east(among a few other places) seems to be the only area that hasn't gotten the memo that we're in the 21st century.

The definition of "cruel and/or unusual" and just "who" defines it is the question.
What about the real victims? The ones the crimes were/are perpetrated on? Do they not have a say?

How about OJ? Just to name one. He beat the system. How? Why? The "system" is not flawed, just the morons calling the shots TO the system. Discipline or a lack of is most of the morons problem...instilling discipline is NOT cruel, but could be considered unusual since obviously they have none. So again...definition...liberals have been redefining our entire "public" (sometimes private) language for decades...to the point of US calling elected servants "leaders"...words mean things...

The system isn't flawed but it can be bent.....

O.J. got off because he became a "victim" of the L.A.P.D.

No way could a famous black man kill his white ex-wife and a white waiter who was a good Samaritan.......

O.J was framed........
And DNA evidence cannot be held as fact.......

I wonder what will happen to the muslim that recently ran over and killed his 20 year old daughter for being too "western"? Don't have a link, but it was on the news the other day.

I was under the impression that once you were convicted of a crime you lost your rights. Maybe I'm confused, but that was my understanding.

No, you don't lose your rights because of a criminal conviction.
