Send criminals to far away island
Is it just my imagination or is the crime rate in Fayette County on the rise again? It seems to me that it is and the solution is nowhere in sight. Our country is still at war in Iraq and there’s no end in sight for that, either. When will the bloodshed end and the American people can take back their streets again? It’s a shame that the elderly have to live in fear of being robbed, beaten up or, even worse, killed. It’s a shame that our children have to grow up in an environment that’s plagued with drugs, murders, and prostitution.
People are even vandalizing cemeteries now. How low can a person go to support their filthy habits? Even the dead can’t rest in peace. What a shame. Small business owners can’t even run a decent business in this community without worrying about getting robbed.
A lot of the landlords who I call slumlords keep renting to crack addicts who only turn their property into crack houses. Doesn’t anybody run background checks anymore?
I think instead of putting these criminals behind bars or halfway houses, which taxpayers pay for anyway, why don’t we just charter a jet and ship all these criminals to a deserted island somewhere far away, where they can smoke their brains out, kill each other and leave us all alone?
They could even call their deserted island “Crack Island.” What do you think of that, America?
