RETURN OF ALCATRAZ

RETURN OF ALCATRAZ

Prison Island may be just what the bad guys need...

A place for all the girls who think they're rotten to the core...

The boys on the other side...

The men and women a new home for them...

Our system has failed...

No one seems to be learning a lesson...

Why not have a prison Island once again for those who no longer want to be a part of society?

We need to clean house...

Any violent person should be able to be with their kind...

Our children should be able to remain safe within our schools and enjoy living...

Teachers shouldn't have to call lock down if we just...

Give the criminals an island where they can't get out, but are free to roam from cell to mess hall and back again...

They need fresh air and want recreation the reward for those who deserve freedom...

Where people can feel safe once again in their homes and take a nice walk without getting beaten and robbed...

Bring Alcatraz back and clean up this lenient mess that has been created...

Return to Alcatraz as the handcuffs are put on and safely shipped to their own little island......

The return of Alcatraz a good place to learn...

Hugs...

Hello Romeo...

I was thinking about the justice system here and so many innocent people are locked up and the guilty run free or get out early for good behavior and some get out and kill someone then it's a big deal...

Some lesson...

An elderly husband's ashes were stolen along with some sentimental rings from her house...

Schools are closing down because of lack of funding...

Between funding and serious safety threats...

Yet the lottery here claims they help fund schools...

As many convenience stores that sell lottery and people can win huge amounts of money makes no sense either...

All people say is it's just the times we're in...

We didn't get to this point overnight...

RIDICULOUS! 

To say the least...

Thank you for your comment and support! 

HUG!!

D.T. is not making the situation in the United States any better either, espousing prejudice and division. Your homeland is at a low point but someday will return to former glory under a new President !

Wishing you all the best as always !  :)

Our country was in a world of hurt long before our new President (just sayin'). :)  Agree totally that we have lost control of decency in general...violent rioting, mass killing, bullying...  Maybe too much tolerance of everything has a price?  Good theme, good write!*!*!

Hello Richard...

Our school and other public places are constantly being threatened...

Look at the history...

Do you think D.T. wanted all of those lives taken?

He has been president for 3 months...

He's trying to keep us safe people are thinking he's being prejudice...

It's the only thing they have learned to cry and it needs to stop...

Look at the countries who can't put their weapons down and the countries who all of a sudden can't wait to get here...

That's why everyone wanted Hillary...

An illegal was deported back.

She has been an illegal citizen for 21 years...

Something is wrong if you can't become legal in 21 years. She was married and has a couple of teenage kids...

We have had to lose our jobs because they went to foreigners who they were able to pay less and they were here illegally...

Can't work so you can't pay for a place to live so many lost that too...

No one cared...

No one has cared for a very long time...

We have lost so many kids between bombings and massacres, they were where they were supposed to be at school, let's not forget the Boston Marathon...

New York...

People have dropped the ball along time ago and no one wants to take the responsibility...

People say it's how things are...

That's the biggest copout...

An RTD who was also a pastor of his community was killed the other day...

They don't know if it's because of his uniform and may have been mistaken for a police officer...

Thank you again...

Hugs! :)

A lot of people turn to more extreme politics when times get tough. It is easier to blame others than look for solutions to problems. The way the United States appears to be at present bears similarities to 1930s Europe. Politicians then, and D.T. now, single out groups to blame for economic downturns. The divisions created make a dangerous climate where conflict can become more of a possibility.

Reforms to the globalisation process through regulation rather than relying whole -heartedly on a completely free market seems to be one answer, making a fairer world and societies also. In crisis it is better we all pull together than fall apart through a blame culture ! Let's aspire to unity rather than warring factions looking out for themselves.

Hug !  :)

He hasn't been president 1 month yet...

I was trying to say not even 3 months, but it hasn't even been 1 month...

Hello Jacki...

Hello Richard...

I  agree...

We weren't always given a choice...

If we were I'm sure we wouldn't have agreed to many things...

Now, I don't even know where that judgement would have taken us...

Because I used to think I understood people now I don't understand most at all...

A drug addict for example...

They're the ones who are looked down on not the Doctors and pharmaceuticals which would just increase...

They can't get help in jail and jails produce bigger criminals...

People have to commit more crimes because no one will give them a chance because they have been convicted...

It's a cycle that just continues, but the end results don't change...

Hugs...

You have highlighted many causes for concern in the United States. There are numerous issues to be tackled.

It will take a different type of leader than D.T. to rectify systemic problems. It will take a President who encourages all to work together and frees up capital for the common good.

Hello Richard...

If we find that person what do you think the chances are they would win?

If more people thought like us that would be great...

I know I have asked this before but, how bad does it have to get before people wake up?

It never should have become like this in the first place...

It's easier to turn something good into crap than it is to turn crap into something good...

Hugs! :)

I am sure that somewhere on this planet of ours serious politicians are uniting to sort out problems which threaten global development. Globalisation is a relatively new phenomenon and needs some intercession to create fairness plus greater wealth for humanity. 

Unity is the key to prosperity.

Hello Richard...

It's a nice thought...

Maybe, get through all the bashing of each other and stick to the facts at hand and discuss solutions...

If I live to be 100 I will see approx.12 elections at the most...

Twelve more people possible to have their hands in this and their butt in the white house...

Yippee!

Hugs...

The next person to be in the Oval Office has a crucial part to play setting the foundations of a fairer greater future. Those to follow him or her will thank them for their actions in overcoming the current conditions, stabilising a situation threatening all that is valued.

The role played by the President following D.t is vital. They shall be remembered.

Hello Richard...

All I can say is I am in agreement with you I hope you know that...

All we can do is wait and see...

A non stop rollercoaster is what we are...

We're up and we're down...

This country is like the stock market also if I had to place a comparison on it...

Hugs...
