I would rather see them helped so they dont hurt anyone else, friends, exlovers, the cranky neighbors kid? Family pooch? Better release programs just cant help? Do you know about other programs in other places countries etc
@Ohplease47 oh they refuse to be helped. I talked to a retired prison psychologist. He told me that all he could do is teach them to avoid places and situations where they would be tempted to reoffend. I’ve watched a registered sex offender in the Walmart where I was working as a greeter standing behind a stack of merchandise in a display next to the self-checkout grinning and leering at two young children while their mother was using the self-check and scanning her groceries. That mother didn’t have a clue about why he was standing there but I did. He was a frequent shopper a Walmart.
@cherokeepatti i had a special attunement device for a while in walmart where a hurting mom had some hurting toddler and it got me focusing and praying that mom would feel the support so junior would feel better. Later it was a store policy for workers to report such problems to authorities, how effective that worked whoknows, maybe it was just there and not corporate wide. Now in those stores u can see the stress/heroic level of everyone. Not just about a third of all customers. I wish they had skating rink breaks in there, everyone puts on party shoes with 360 degree wheels and parties
@4meAndyou I watched a video of a man in Canada who looks for offers of free pallets. He will drive over and inspect the pallets. If the wood is good enough he will take them and tear them down and make the most beautiful pieces of furniture out of them including inlaid wood. He films the process of each and shows the final products and them posts asking prices then updates it at the end of the videos. Makes a really tidy sum of money, his quality is excellent. At least one person paid him more than what he asked. That is the best use I’ve seen for used wood pallets.
@4meAndyou I would love to be able to do that stuff. He is a pro so had a lot of equipment in his small one-car garage and had everything set up to do it. I just love watching creative people make things out of discarded items. This country would be much better off if many more would do it and get away from corporate purchases a bit more. And they would have unique pieces of furniture too. Not mass-produced.
@Ohplease47 If these people could hear themselves and the atrocities they want to commit. The bloodlust. I guess it's true that you can justify anything if you just do it in the name of the children. Gross.
@NativePortlander1970 That machine would be well worth the price even if just for entertainment purposes. I bet some people would pay money to be able to feed it an odd assortment of things just to watch them get destroyed. Here is someone’s money-making idea. Maybe for a school fundraiser. They used to have an old car at a rural grade school and on fund-raiser nights would charge a few dollars for people to take swings at that car with a sledgehammer. Good therapy too if you need to get something out of your system with an ex…feed their photos and other things they left behind in it. Video it and post online, hehe.
