Oh how I agree with you.

I am both amazed and horrified at what our front lines Cops have to deal with.

Only a few days ago they had a cctv programme on the box that showed a scrote robbing a shop and saying to the victim that “he needs the money” (for his drug habit!)

So clearly in his view the shopkeeper has less rights to the shop takings for that day than he did - not only that - he was prepared to brandish a knife at the shop assistant to get what he thought he had a right to have because rather than working he felt he could rob those that DO work so he can cater for his selfish “habit”.

IMO - what he “needs” is about 2 years on a chain gang - no drugs and no pampering - and lots of truly hard work to earn his place back in society.

But no doubt those “in charge” will feel society has let HIM down rather than the other way round.
