everyone is being so judgemental and making opinions of there own, im sure if it was a family member or a friend you knew, you'd have a different opinion.
I know what he has done was wrong, but its a serious matter, no one has asked after the 100th offence why... they just think we give him more hours so he can pay back time.
All police are interested in is convicting people... and then they think there doing there job, whether or not they must of realised after a while this person is still committing the same offences, they needed to have a open mind and asked why.
if someone asked Bradley why and gave him the time of the day without judging him, im sure they would of found the source of why he is committing these offences!
Judgmental would be if we damned him to the chair for one crime. Harsh would be 3 or 4. With 600 offenses on his account, I can't see how or why he should not be judged very harshly. There is nothing I could learn about him, his family, his background or his promising football career that would make me think otherwise.I know what he has done was wrong, but its a serious matter, no one has asked after the 100th offence why... they just think we give him more hours so he can pay back time.

All the police are interested in is convicting people? Well isn't that sort of what they are there for? Asking why might be a worthwhile exersise if he'd gone off the rails and got caught doing something stupid once or twice.
And as for helping him to stop offending, I think 30+ years inside is by far the most compassionate way to stop him. It's certainly a lot kinder than the sort of thing I'm thinking of.
Were you his English teacher?

600 offenses, six hundred. That's a lot of misery for a lot of people.
600 crimes tends to indicate the local coppers aren't much good.I bet the local tax payers aren't too pleased to be spending
all that money and getting a very poor service in return.
Three strikes and you are out sounds reasonable to me.
A ten year stretch would probably calm him down a bit.

I think to the victims its not the value of the goods but the fact somebody has entered their house, possibly while asleep and destroyed their property. What do you say to the little old lady who has lost jewelry bought by her late husband 60 years ago? Besides her now living in fear, she has lost things of intense sentimental value which cannot be replaced.Bring back the stocks!

600 times. It's the legal system that is not much good. The fact the little s
t has not been made aware via punishment/humiliation/pain that this is not the way to behave in society is where the problem lies. I doubt there is much that can be done to modify his behaviour now that he feels this is the norm so either pay through the nose to keep him incarcerated for the rest of his life or do everyone a favour and shoot the fkerThe real Apache said:

Nope, means that when he got caught he admitted to the 600, so that they get wiped off the slate - he gets a little bit added to the sentence to cover the pain and misery he caused to 600 separate victims. 600 times. It's the legal system that is not much good. Like you said, a screwed up legal system.
