Today, we read of lawbreakers being apprehended by our policemen and in the news articles we usually see that the perpetrator has a "rap sheet" going back sometime as long as 10 years. They get caught and somehow are released and get caught again, making many of us citizens who are ignorant of today's liberal laws ask, "why is he still on the street?" Back in the day, those n'er do wells who decided to break the law were dealt with in a manner that really discouraged their return to a life of crime. I especially like the punishment no-nonsense Judge Willard Grimm handed out to the juveniles who vandalized Homedell School. In today's society, those poor boys would be the victims of "cruel and unusual punishment."
