I always see Travis Verge on the jail intake and indictments for the same charges, why is he not in prison?
I agree with you mommale! I think it's because they work for the task force for a while and then when they don't snitch or "co-operate" with them anymore, they bring those charges back on them. Shelbyville is getting so corrupt!
i am starting to think convicts are the smartest people around. i mean think about it..free place to stay, free food, all medical expenses paid for, free transportation, no income tax to worry about. then when you get out, you can't get a job due to being a fellon, so now you can qualify for food stamps, then you can get diagnosed with a mental disorder{example ni-polar| then you can get disability. sounds like they got it figured out
People who got charges after 1996 can't get food stamps and the term is bi-polar
misses:
well i will admit i had a typo on the bi-polar. thanks. but as far as the charged after 1996 can't get food stamps, well you are wrong there, i know someone personally that was charged in 2006 with a felony,served nearly 2 years, and they got food stamps. wherher they are suppose to or not remains to be seen, but THEY GOT THEM!! so don't tell us they can't. i will go on the record and say, even tho i am close to this peroson, doesn't mean i agree with it. so take your own advise and practice what you preach...make sure you know the facts before you make a comment!! thanks and have a wonderful day!
I also have to disagree with misses...My husbands former co-worker just got out of prison in december, convicted of 3 felonies, served 3 years and he is now receiving food stamps AND brags about it.
woohoo!! thanks for verifying that stolem. i love being right, but itz even better when someone agrees with me
Hmmm...
As inappropriate as it may seem for people who've run afoul of the law to get public assistance,what happens when they don't?
Then,you'd have a sick,hungry,homeless person out on the street with no job and no hopes of getting one.
It's likely they weren't that well-educated or emotionally stable to begin with but now they'd have more stresses and fewer resources to fall back on.
That's just asking for these folks to re-offend (especially if incarceration enables them to have meals and a roof over their head).
In the old days,children who misbehaved in school (or were truant) were banned from the classroom.
It was thought that they had forfeited their right to an education.
Then,someone figured out that letting such students go feral and remain ignorant was the last thing they (or society) needed.
Now,they have in-school suspension and have to deal with discipline and gaining life skills whether they like it or not.
Their parents or guardians have to see that they attend class and meet all other requirements or risk being jailed,denied public housing,etc.
I suppose law-abiding people who put no drain on public resources have the right to be without a home,literacy or sanity but any who expect us to pay the price for what they lack need to learn that we refuse to take on that burden.
Those who can't function normally due to physical and mental impairment should get our support because that's the humane and responsible thing for us to do.
Those who can but won't support themselves and make a positive contribution to society don't deserve the luxury of a "freedom" that means they'll have to attack us to make it out in the world.
No,they don't get to be destitute and become disease vectors nor are they permitted to steal an indulgent lifestyle the rest of us can't afford to buy.
They need to have no choice but to perform what work they are capable of doing,read,write,balance a budget,save income,eat healthy meals,bathe,get counselling and maintain their health with visits to the doctor,dentist,optometrist or whoever else is necessary.
To those who want to be assets to their community,such a life is blessing that they are eager to earn.
To the rest,it would be a punishment of the first order.
The bad guys can stay in prison and trade good behavior for limited liberty and the meeting of basic needs or they can live alongside us and do the same.
If they become our neighbors,they have the chance to get more out of life by putting more into it.
We shouldn't give the worst elements of our society a privilege we don't enjoy ourselves.
They don't get to be stupid or lazy or destructive because,too often,the innocent pay the consequences for their actions more than the guilty.
Why should we "coddle" criminals?
For the same reason we adopt wild cats and dogs.
They haven't the ability to make it on their own.
When we assume responsibility for them,they are trained to conduct themselves in an appropriate manner while we see that they have food,shelter and medical care.
Each one that doesn't have a decent home can breed willy-nilly,run in a deadly pack or wind up festering in a ditch somewhere.
Whether one has two legs or four,society's response should be the same.
If we let them be born and don't kill them for being dangerous,then we have to see that their lives are as good as possible.
We can pay for them to be healthy,well-trained and even loved or we can pay the price of their uncontrolled destructiveness.
Humans and non-humans need to learn that our world only gives two options to those who want to live uncaged and off-lead.
One either lives in safety and harmony with others and supports himself and his fellows to the best of his ability -or he dies.
Period. No exceptions.
