I think that drugs and prostitution should be legalized and at that point we should implement a massive crackdown on violent crime, robberies and the like. Put anyone who has over ten arrests for those types of crimes away for eternity. Three strikes can wind up putting way a misguided teen. Ten strikes though? Twenty?

At some point it needs to be realized that these types aren't changing and it isn't fair to the rest of us to keep letting them out. Everyone deserves a second chance, no one deserves fourty.

look up crimespot.com. Look at all the car break ins along this corridor over the last 5-10 years....peachtree/mid-town lights up like a Christmas tree. This is becoming a Atlanta tradition. It starts just North of 4th or so and goes on up to buckhead.....like a swarm of sharks......

Good news is the murders tend to stay in the same areas.....they hover between Grady on over to the West End for the most part....a few stray North and South but, they tend to stay in that corridor.

Seems the cops could place some undercover stings on a Friday night and nab quite a few...sooner or later, it will become cheaper to lock these same fools up than to play "catch n' release". I'm confident it's more of a jail overcrowding issue. They just don't look at non-violent crime the same way and the tax payers are not quite ready to build another jail/prison facility.

More of the same...more of the same....
