Sex Offender's and other Scum

[SOCALHUSKER]

Over the last few year's Southern California has been in the limelight for a rash of sexual offenses (and murder) involving already convicted offender's and young, teenage women. These disasters, amongst other things, have brought our current state under much scrutinization, which is always a good thing, but the most commonly held view is the idea that the community needs to petition those who pretend to rule us for more and harsher laws when it comes to dealing with these types of crimes. I find this idea quite illogical and simply silly, and wrote the following to express my opinion on the matter:

 

While I sincerely sympathize with all of the families, including the King’s and Dubois', who have lost loved ones to violent criminals, and also firmly believe that all criminals, meaning those who initiate force and violate the natural rights of others, should be held accountable for their actions; I don't believe petitioning the government to create harsher laws is a logical or just way to fix the problem. The failure in each of these cases was not due to a lack of laws or their harshness, but rather a lack of accountability on part of both the criminals and the government.

 

Creating new or harsher legislation does nothing to stop criminals, bring back the lives of lost loved ones, nor to fix the lack of accountability that is inherent in our current system. Rather, it merely directs more power and stolen money into the hands of those who have failed miserably; while at the same time taking from and punishing individuals whose actions might actually solve the problem. Is it logical to create and enact more laws, when the ones on the books are not even being enforced or upheld? Wouldn’t making more laws simply add confusion to an already bloated, arbitrary and complex “justice” system? Is it really fair to force those who have already been violated by criminals to also pay for the funding any new legislation or punishment will require?

 

In the real world when a business makes a mistake and causes dissatisfaction among its customers, they lose business, record losses and go under. However, when the government fails, as they seemingly always do and always at the least opportune time, some individuals believe that giving them more power, while at the same time coughing up personal liberties and throwing more money at them will somehow solve the problem? Why is that? What sense does it make to not only petition those responsible for the problem, but then to entrust them to try to fix it?

 

Since government has a monopoly on nearly everything: including justice, both legislative and enforcement, it is guaranteed that we, the “consumers,” will get the worst service at the highest possible price. For proof, one only needs to look at the millions of murders, rapes, and thefts that occur; the hours upon hours spent enacting, enforcing and trying arbitrary and victimless “crimes” and the astronomical amount of taxpayer money (conveniently taken under a threat of violence) spent in order to prevent all of it. Has any of it worked? Better yet, is that what anyone would call justice?

 

Since it is not, wouldn’t a better solution to these heinous acts be for individuals to stop petitioning government, stop sanctioning a system that perpetuates and allows zero accountability, stop supporting the actions of a violent monopoly and instead, insist and advocate for a free market on justice. Why not introduce competition? Why not allow those who provide the best services to succeed? Why not actually get what you pay for?

 

This isn't to say that a free market solution will create some type of crime-free utopia, because it won't. It will though, provide justice in a more fair and efficient manner. Humans do have the ability to act irrational, which they no doubt will, and it is for precisely this reason why the current system, a monopoly on justice, cannot work. Isn’t it time we rid ourselves of the false notion that only a violent monopoly can protect us? And for the sake of all the loved one's lost, isn't it time we finally seek justice.
