<![CDATA[From The Atlantic (by David Eagleman):
On the steamy first day of August 1966, Charles Whitman took an elevator to the top floor of the University of Texas Tower in Austin. The 25-year-old climbed the stairs to the observation deck, lugging with him a footlocker full of guns and ammunition. At the top, he killed a receptionist with the butt of his rifle. Two families of tourists came up the stairwell; he shot at them at point-blank range. Then he began to fire indiscriminately from the deck at people below. The first woman he shot was pregnant. As her boyfriend knelt to help her, Whitman shot him as well. He shot pedestrians in the street and an ambulance driver who came to rescue them.
The evening before, Whitman had sat at his typewriter and composed a suicide note:

<![CDATA[By Daniel J. MitchellI wrote earlier this year about the connection between a morally corrupt welfare state and the riots in the United Kingdom.
But whatâs happening now is not just some left-wing punks engaging in political street theater. Instead, the UK is dealing with a bigger problem of societal decay caused in part by a governmentâs failure to fulfill one of its few legitimate functions: protection of property.
To make matters worse, the political class has disarmed law-abiding people, thus exacerbating the risks. These two photos are a pretty good summary of what this means. On the left, we have Korean entrepreneurs using guns to defend themselves from murdering thugs during the 1992 LA riots. On the right, we have Turkish entrepreneurs reduced to using their fists (and some hid...]]>

Poll shows Californians prefer easing prison terms to paying more &#8211; Cash-strapped Californians would rather ease &quot;third-strike&quot; penalties for some criminals and accept felons as neighbors than dig deeper into their pockets to relieve prison overcrowding, a new poll shows.
In the wake of a court order that the state move more than 33,000 inmates out of its packed prisons, an overwhelming number of voters oppose higher taxes &mdash; as well as cuts in key state services &mdash; to pay for more lockup space.
The survey, by The Times and the USC Dornsife College of Letters, Arts and Sciences, shows a clear shift in attitude by residents forced to confront the cost of tough sentencing laws passed in recent decades.

WithÂ a system that relies on multiple charges and an ability to pressure everybody else in the case to switch sides, you can win (as Conrad did) nineteen-twentieths of the battles and still lose the war. Heâs a wealthy businessman, and nobody has any sympathy for those. But itâs even worse if youâre a nobody. A New Hampshire neighbor of mine had the misfortune to attract the attention of federal prosecutors for one of thoseÂ white-collar âcrimesâ no one can explain in English.

<![CDATA[From the New York Times today we have a story entitled, &#8220;A Schizophrenic, A Slain Worker, Troubling Questions,&#8221; a horrible story about a mentally ill man who killed a social worker in his group home. The story highlights the defendant&#8217;s longstanding history of violence with several assaults in his past. He once fractured his stepfather&#8217;s skull and his first criminal offense involved slashing and robbing a homeless man. (On another post on this blog Rob wondered why the charges were dismissed in that case; from experience I can tell you it&#8217;s probably because the victim and only witness was homeless and couldn&#8217;t be located several months later when the defendant came to trial.)

I asked Premier Christy Clark a question about re opening the BC adult ADHD clinic at an adult hospital that the BC Liberal govt closed down in 2007 after it had a 12-14 month wait list for an entire year.
8% of kids and 5% of adults have ADHD so there are more adults with ADHD than children, and most don&#8217;t know they have it and many doctors have NO training on ADHD. UBC medical students only get 1 hour of training on ADHD. I get em...]]>

I&#8217;m asking politicians this question for several reasons but one of them is most people don&#8217;t care at all about people with ADHD or think it&#8217;s overdiagnosed/space alien/drug company conspiracy/ not beating up your kid enough etc. But they do care about crime.

Better known as RICO, the proposal to use this law reflects reports of brazen robberies and organized crime involvement.
In particular, the move is an attempt to crack down on a growing number of reports that stolen drugs - such as OxyContin and insulin - are diverted and relabeled, but often resold on the black market without proper storage before winding up in legitimate pharmacies or sold online. The bill would formally criminalize storing, transporting or changing labels on stolen medical products (read statements from New York&#8217;s Chuck Schumer and Oh...]]>

The Smart on Crime Coalition released its recommendations (and in pdf) for the 112th Congress, providing ways that the federal government can help fix the criminal justice system. Congress creates, on average, a new criminal offense every week. The urge to overcriminalize just about everything needs to be replaced with serious thought about how broadly Congress writes laws so that the drive to lock up a few bad actors does not make felons of a large portion of the citizenry.
