And who is GG?

Val?

Snake.

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

Snake.

He was nuttier than Tef.

 

[Val Keating]

And who is GG?

Val?

Are you asking me who GG is, or asking who I am?

Or both

 

[Val Keating]

Every decent conversation needs balance and people that challenge at different sides and angles of the the discussion. That only falls down when people get personal.

So Snake Baker was Tef and GG?

I don't think he was GG.
GG always had an undercurrent of his great physical fitness in his posting attack.

Seems pretty reasonable.

“Biden is asking that the Justice Department, within a month, propose a rule to stop "ghost guns," which are "kits" people can buy legally then fully assemble to create a functioning firearm that does not have a serial number.”

“The president has said he supports an assault weapons ban, voluntary buybacks of assault weapons, wants to repeal a law that prevents gun manufacturers from being sued for crimes people commit with guns”

About the only radical reform I'd agree with

Rioting in Belfast. Good to see in this world of flux some things never change.

Real talk - you should get lots of time off your sentence for every qualification you ear in there.

Definitely something to consider, even something more trade skills/qualification oriented. Needs to be matched by jobs on the way out and not the dodgy low-level paying kind that is little better than work for the dole.

Anything - as long as it requires work, dedication, committment.

Hell, people doing English Literature degrees in there and writing the most "woo woo" post modern analysis of why Huckleberry Finn is actually trans is great because it shows a committment to changing how they think and live. Complete change in mindset.

Agreed. Support for prisoners coming out is vital.

It'd never fly politically, but I'd be up for paying released prisoners something like triple the dole for a year as a long as they've got qualifications of any sort inside.

Let them get established on release - secure housing, not have to worry about where a feed is coming etc.

Right now we release so many people with a paltry amount and basically nowhere to go.

May as well just keep them in.

Absolutely, got no problem with the laws, but as an Australian, I don’t have the same infinity with guns and amendments.

But Guns have taken a backseat to Biden ruling by decree. Something that has taken years of political debate and interference has been effectively sidelined.

I’m a actually more shocked this hasn’t happened in the USA sooner..
they embraced the punishment completely forgot the rehabilitation part of the prison system.

They're going down the rehablitation path surprisingly quick in some places, like Texas.

Justice reinvestment.

Only downside to this would be open to abuse, prisoners would aim to got in and out every twelve months to get the triple dole..

 

[Val Keating]

That’s all good but they still have for profit prisons and a system where most people are pretty much forced to take a plea deal then fight the case and once someone’s in the system it’s incredibly hard to get away from it.

Oh completely, but the tide is slowly turning.

Key thing is the opiod epidemic affected white people.

Prisons are full of black people in the for crack and weed offences.

They didn't care before, but now the mindset is changing.
