OK, here’s a video you have to question whether or not you want to watch. In 2008, Dane County Sheriff’s Deputy Dale Veto attempts to lay out a spike strip in front of a fleeing stolen car, only to have the car dodge the spikes and hit *him* instead, throwing him into the air and shattering his legs (they look really quite boneless when he thumps down out of the sky).

The criminal responsible here was one Dominique Gulley, all of 15 years old. He was sentenced to two years in juvie, at which point he turned 18 and was released back upon the public, with ten years of probation. While Deputy Veto survived the rather horrific set of injuries, it seems probable that the physical pain and disability will long outlast his attackers original sentence.
THIS is exactly the sort of student that I think society wastes too much time and effort on trying to educate. Instead, a one-way ticket to Somalia or Burma would seem to be a better approach. Hell, dump his ass off in downtown Mecca with “Mohammad Sucks” tattooed on his forehead in Arabic.
At the VERY least, he should be billed for the medical costs incurred by his actions. Why should the cops insurance company, or society at large, be left holding the bill when the actual responsible party is well known? Instead of a specific term in prison, set him to work at hard labor breaking rocks, digging ditches, whatever. Set the wage at whatever the local minimum wage is. Be sure to deduct room and board, as well as applicable local, state and federal income taxes. He gets to go free when he’s paid back every nickel he’s cost the taxpayer… plus the price of the pain & suffering lawsuit.
BUT WAIT! There’s MOAR!
But in May, four days after he was released from a juvenile institution, Gulley stole another car.
On Monday, Gulley was re-sentenced to 11 years in prison followed by 13 years of extended supervision.
Someone, PLEASE explain to me why society needs to keep people like this around when there’s a whole world to deport them to. How much money are the taxpayers going to have to waste on warehousing this jackass, only to unleash him on society again?

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
Yesterday I found a news article about a “quiet” teenager who shot a cop in Florida. His parents were appalled: he’d never done anything like that, they said. Well, no, he had not: he’d been skipping school, had stolen a car a year ago, and bought a pistol on the street. There’s a pattern. I’m with you, Scott: put them to work until they pay for themselves.
Dude, This is a video of a dumbfuck running around in high speed traffic and getting hit by a passing car.
Above the law is not above the laws of physics.
As for the specifics of a child stealing a car and being trained as a criminal for two years, different subject.

No, it’s a video of an attempted murder. In most jurisdictions, if someone dies while you are in the process of comitting a felony, you are guilty of murder. Even if you didn;t try to kill them; even if another member of your crew was physically responsible…. *you* are still legally guilty of murder. And I’ve never seen much point in discriminating between successful, competant murderers and less successful or incompetant murderers… the acts and motivations were the same, the puinishments should be the same.
The cop was doing a legal thing. The kid was doing an illegal thing. In the process of which, the kid ran into the cop at extremely high speed, very nearly killing him.

Yes, and just because you’re a federal judge doesn’t mean a nine millimeter bullet hitting you in the head won’t or shouldn’t kill you. Nevertheless, the person behind that bullet might seem to need to be removed from society.
The link says YouTube has taken the video down due to its shocking and disgusting content.
That almost happened to this one too:

Wait till they find out that the reason that they have to fight over its single teat is that it’s a male.
