@Ghost-of-a-Duke saidI see you have engaged yours and it does not look so good, if you are suggesting that the criminal justice system is the solution to criminal activity. Here, lets use the UK as an example, but the same applies in many parts of the world ... it is aabject failure...
Alternatively, engage your brain.

Q : How successful has the UK criminal justice been in getting violent criminals, particularly rapists and pedophiles off the street.
A: The honest answer is: mixed, with some real improvements in recent data but serious, well-documented systemic problems that mean many offenders — including violent ones and rapists — don't end up convicted or serving full sentences. Here's the picture in detail:
Rape and sexual offences — the biggest gap
This is where the numbers look worst. Looking at the full journey from report to conviction:
• The rape conviction rate has collapsed from around 6.5% of recorded rapes in 2009-10 down to roughly 2% today, largely driven by a collapse in charging, not trial outcomes.
• Only about 3% of recorded rape cases in England and Wales result in a charge being brought at all, down sharply from around 7.5% in 2016-17. The main bottlenecks cited are digital evidence disclosure requirements, resourcing constraints in police and CPS, and victims withdrawing support during long delays.
• Once a case does reach trial, though, the picture flips: roughly 68% of rape cases that go to trial end in conviction, a rate that's held fairly steady over the past decade.
So the system isn't failing to convict guilty defendants once it gets its act together on a case — it's failing to get most cases that far in the first place.
There's been some recent improvement: CPS data show rape-flagged conviction rates rising through 2025-26 (from about 51% to over 63% by Q3 2025-26), with charge volumes and prosecution numbers also increasing quarter over quarter. But this is off a very low base, and the live caseload for adult rape prosecutions has been growing faster than cases are being resolved — receipts outnumbering finalisations at more than 2-to-1 as of mid-2025.

@moonbus saidExperts have agreed that kleptomania is a disease caused by some genetic abnormality. That does not make it ok or acceptable.
Veganism is a life style.
Heterosexuality is not a life style. Neither is homosexuality a life style. People are born that way. It's like having blue eyes or brown eyes: you can cover it up, hide behind sunglasses, try to deny it, but you don't choose it and can't change it.
Heterosexuality, the desire to have intimate relationships with the opposite sex, does not excuse infidelity, impregnating multiple women etc.
You are presenting lame excuses to justify genetic abnormalities, hoping that will make it acceptable to society.

Watch the series Chicago PD.
Watch the movie Citizen Vigilante.
Use Google or Claude or CoPilot.
Search "repeat offenders who committed gruesome murders".
Search "why the criminal justice all over the world has failed"

It is never okay for a parent to kill their child. - If a child is guilty of a criminal act, it is the parents responsibility to report it to the authorities, not to take the law into their own hands.
@no1marauder saidI will have a read. But in many countries, organised justice systems have failed. Some people have decided they cannot simply sit around and watch while the authorities do nothing but make excuses while people are raped and killed. I agree with them.

@Ghost-of-a-Duke saidIm not arguing with that and in most cases this is acceptable. In the situation I described from Chicago PD, the father did what he could, the courts released the perp, but he continued with his abuse and murder of children, escaping the law. In the end the father took his life. Not all of life's situations fit into your little rule.

@Ghost-of-a-Duke saidWhy would you even be in the quinoa/granola aisle??
All vegans are dead to me. If I encounter one in the supermarket (invariably in the quinoa aisle) I completely blank them.
If ya don't wanna see queers, don't hang around queer bars.

@Rajk999 saidMore great points. I watched this thing where a cop goes undercover in a surf gang who are robbing banks. he becomes such good friends with the gangs charismatic leader he is unable to take the shot when he has the opportunity to kill the leader....emptying his clip into the sky with a hint of homoerotic frustration letting the gang leader escape.

How does that situation fit into Ghosts little rules...am i right!!??
@Rajk999 saidAdam and Eve were vegan. - "Every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food."
Queers, vegans and Jehovah Witnesses .. 3 groups worth avoiding.
Sometimes you cant avoid them.
They come up to you to share their personal stuff.
@Ghost-of-a-Duke saidI'd write an angry letter to the store manager, if I were you.
That's where they keep the monkey nuts.

Behold the reasoning of the libtards:
One single lunatic does not mean their feelings should be attributed to all conservatives.
Not all. But recently, in the era of Trump, certainly most.
Only lunatics support a lying, malignant narcissist.
