Why is everyone ignoring my great ideas on this!!!

Not ignoring it. You’re right. Where there are severe penalties, people tend to think. In the old west, had someone been stomped like that, there would have been an immediate reckoning, or hell to pay later, and someone likely ends up dead. I don’t think too many teenagers went around then doing this. But consider this; most of our youth gangs deal daily in death. It does not seem to faze them a bit.
I will reiterate though; I think kicking someone in the head while they are down warrants an attempted murder charge. Period.[/quote]
I wonder what it might be like if everyone was REQUIRED to go strapped all the time. Would manners improve?

Manners usually improve the moment the attacker realizes they can get seriously hurt as well. That is why people honk at retarded issues when in their cars but those same people wouldn’t say a word if standing right in front of someone.
Hell, if people perceived that would be held liable for their actions, they would avoid much of this as well…but look at our system as a whole. We protect the dummies and reward the jackasses. Everyone has someone ELSE to blame for their poor lot in life other than themselves.
You ate 30 donuts a day for 20 years and now have diabetes so severe a leg needs to be amputated? Sue the doctor due to mental anguish of losing an appendage…because he obviously forced you to eat those donuts.
The girl attacker knew the guards weren’t able to do much damage. They no doubt treat them much like they treat their teachers at school…like they can’t do shit to them.
Look at how most kids act now especially in schools in poor areas. You can’t even reprimand one of them without their parents trying to get the TEACHER fired for setting them straight…yet we act surprised when shit like this happens?
What do people expect when you create a society where you give kids who flunked gold stars so they don’t feel so bad about themselves?
WE CREATED THIS. That is what you get when you erase personal responsibility from society and place every damn thing in the hands of a poor court system.
Hell, if you could simply defend yourself without risk of getting sued for it, more people would quit starting shit.
As it stands, the most powerful person in the room is the guy who can afford the best lawyer, not the guy with the strongest right hook.
