Message | We support this bill due to articles I-III. Daunte Woodson Chairman Democratic Capitalist Delegation |
Date | 00:12:58, August 11, 2008 CET | From | Telamonese Communist Party | To | Debating the Justice and Safety Act |
Message | Article 1 - We might consider supporting this. Article 2 - The maintenance of the death penalty in extreme cases will act as a deterrent. Article 3 - This will allow criminals to get away with their crimes undetected. Article 4 - This is a travesty of justice. The government has a basic responsibility to uphold the rule of law, and should not attempt to delegate that to private companies. This Article also risks building a police force which is more vulnerable to corruption. |
