Crime Lords are getting younger every day.

The talk on the TV over the weekend has been about the ASBOs for under tens which is linked to Bliars respect laws. Read more here.

Now correct me if I am wrong but I keep hearing from politicians that crime is going down. The fact that crime figures is going up is because of the way they are reported. New laws on everything from talking to actually killing people are reducing crime remarkably. We know this because the politicians say so.

Why then, with crime coming down so well, do they have to target under tens? I would have thought a very small percentage of crime was done by them. Wait, I get it. Silly me. Think about it.

Crime rate in the over tens is coming down. Bliars laws are doing so well that the overall crime figures are coming down. Therefore with no change to the under tens. Their percentage has increased even if crimes remained the same. Therefore, they must be committing most of the crimes now. That's why we want to ban BB guns, water pistols and the like. Let's raid their homes and drag them away at six in the morning for possession of a plastic gun. That will teach them respect for the law.

Bring back the death penalty is what I say. It's about time we got rid of this scourge in our society.

But, wait a minute. If kids are now liable for criminal activity even though the existing laws say under tens are not old enough to have responsibility. Is that going to change? If they are made responsible then does that mean they get some of the perks of being adults? How about voting, driving, leaving home. I bet not! Therefore, yet again the parents will be punished.

Government makes law that says you can't smack your kids. Kids run riot and call abuse every time someone chastises them in any way. Government then says 'You need to control your kids or you will be punished' Then they punish the parents. Imagine if the police were told they couldn't touch anyone. I wonder what that would do for crime? Politicians really are out of touch with society.
