    It's funny how most criminals, whether they be small time crooks, mass murderers, psychopaths, or super sophisticated and top of the line international criminals, are never safe from insignificant traffic infractions of their own doing.


    For goodness sake, if you don't want to get busted with the 800 grand of blow you've got in the back of your Toyota, just forget about what's in your car, and drive like your going to pick up groceries and a newspaper.


    *Please do not think I have done any of these things, I'm just a practical, law-abiding Jalop like everyone else.


    /Gets in Toyota, tunes to the light favorites of today and tomorrow, and drives off.

    What are we going "rehabilitate" guys like this to do exactly? He's got no skills, zero work ethic, low intellect, and a violent criminal record. I wouldn't pay him a buck an hour to clean toilets. He'd either do it wrong, or try to kill a coworker. Clearly he'll never be able to earn the $10ish/hour he'd need to scrape by at the poverty level. So why would he want to leave prison? On the outside he'd have to bust his ass working, and he'd still be unable to afford the living conditions he's got in prison. Being a successful, free criminal takes a lot of the same skill sets as being a successful worker, which is why most criminals end up in prison, or dead.


    Our society generates millions of people who are really unable to function at a minimal level. A significant percentage of them are in prison. By the time they get there, it's way too late to undo the 20-30 years worth of damage that got them to that state.

    When they're THAT dumb, we just need to send them out of the country, because no amount of rehab is going to make any difference wharsoever.

    @AudreyMerope:


    Before we found the big island in the Pacific, we sent them to Virginia - 50,000 between 1720 and 1770, as it goes.


    So if you're a Virginian, you're more likely to be convict stock than is the average Aussie. Then again, you also probably knew that.

    I know that I'd never bling-out an Escalade in L.A., since plenty of people and wannabe gangsta' rappers will consider depriving you of it at gunpoint... but a 4Runner...!?

    Those Toyota locks are so easy to pick he coulda lifted one out of the parking lot without risking an aggravated asault charge!

    Can anybody spell P-o-o-r I-m-p-u-l-s-e C-o-n-t-r-o-l? Is it possible instead of simply putting people away for a certain length of time, we ought to spent that time teaching them how to control their emotions? Could we actually reduce our prison population by helping individuals such as Mr. Hawkins before they get into trouble?


    Nawwwww -- that's crazy talk!

    Not really stupidity from low IQ, seems like he just doesn't care.


    "Hundreds of the inmates in the Prince George's County jail are repeat offenders"


    So why are they not looking to change their prison system to cut down on repeat offenders?

    Rehabilitative programs (education/arts/skill training) reduce recidivism. People need a change to reinsert themselves back into society.

    How is this even news in Prince George's County? Oh, that's right, he didn't have to murder anyone. This is practically a human interest story by PG County standards.
