BK - I can't believe how ignored you have been - your 12.38 posting on the 24th says so much of the reality of crime.

I'm another to add to the minority here, I have more going for the victims of crime than for the perpetrators -mainly because the perpetrators get to CHOOSE whether to be involved in crime or not, whereas the victims have their rights of choice taken away from them by the criminals.

So I'd ask everyone to transcend the apple pie and the family Bible and get real.
