Youth Gangs

Clearly the young thugs of today have little fear of authority, in fact to become a patched member of a gang they have to have done jail time. Accommodation there is doubtless far superior to that which they’ve lived over the recent past. Besides that they are with all their mates and everything is free. So how do we break this cycle of lawless arrogance? 

There are in most towns and cities a group of crime families and associates. The solution - stop them breeding!

It could be pure speculation but the prospect of losing his manhood could put fear and trepidation into the young hood’s mindset. A eunuch would be the laughing stock in the communal prison shower room. A variety of methods are applicable. Chemical castration is used in a number of countries but that requires a doctor and the cost is doubtless prohibitive – besides you’d have to put up with the bleating of the limp wristed, dewey eyed, gilt ridden, PC libertarians, most who have a vested interest in the gang members retaining their freedom. (AND BREEDING their next generation of clients) Plastic cable ties are quick, clean and very effective I’m told. Half a dozen high profile gang members dealt to and crimes will plummet. Who will do it, doubtless not the state but a vigilantly group who are fed up with the PC softly, softly approach. It has been suggested an old van with a driver and three disgruntled victims could deal to several crims an evening, then disappear into thin air. Reappearing a week or two later when the word had got around the criminal community. Building up the stress level would do wonders for seasoned criminals as they waited and wondered where and who the next ‘victim’ would be. Of course the vigilantes would be wearing surgical gloves so as not to leave any DNA around and give the vested interests an opportunity to trump up some kidnapping charges. But then how would a crim complain to the police when he was a known troublemaker, particularly if the officer on duty was a lady copper?

Excuse me officer, a group of vigilantes attacked me and I’ve, um, lost my um manhood, everything is going black. The likely response: SO! Lets see the evidence! It is a bit like virginity, lad, once you’ve lost them you’ve lost them. Great job opportunities in Middle Eastern harems though.

If the vigilantes want to hone their skills there are plenty of prospects. They could do a tour of the red light district at night and pick off a pimp or two, then there are the loan sharks at the casinos. For daytime work there are rapists, home invaders, child molesters, drug dealers and paedophiles while on bail.

Before we close, what about the lads on PD, (periodic detention) shouldn’t they wear overalls to keep their designer clothes clean? Why not X Gitmo orange overalls, there must be dozens available and an application to one of America’s top two draft dodgers would surely gain a lot of support.

A little public humiliation will go a long way, after all little else has worked to date. Before the libertarians start frothing at the mouth, perspiring, wringing their hands in anguish and bleating, vigilantes have been around for thousands of years. What can’t the new eunuch crims do besides contribute to the next generation of criminals gene pool? Nothing! They can get a job, play sport, get involved in community projects, travel, and get educated. So what arguments (besides the need to feather their own nests) do the libertarians have?
