A criminal history should be just that... history. This should be the law for all business. Right now a convicted has to serve a sentence, and then the sentence after that. It defeats the purpose of rehabbing folks who have effed up. If they can&#39;t get jobs or food stamps or medicaid (which they can&#39;t in Indiana...stupid), they have no other options but to live on the edge of society and probably go right back to crime. Makes no sense. What&#39;s worse is that non-violent drug felons are treated far worse than violent offenders vis a vis eligibility rules.

I am more troubled by the city using quotas to hire people, requiring that 10% of the city hires have a criminal record.Paul K.

They&#39;re the ones who exist above the system and can do whatever they want free from impunity. Everyone who lives in the real world has been kicked in the teeth by a cop.<br /><br />If you steal a candy bar, you&#39;ll be arrested and called a criminal. If you steal millions and hand it to a corporation, you&#39;ll live in a great house and be called a politician.<br /><br />Did you see the video of the disgusting Austin cops committing treason on the female jogger? Americans have been beaten into fearful submission, so they did nothing to protect the victim.<br /><br />A free people would have beaten the crap out of the cops, whereupon the free people would have been tagged with criminal records for doing the right thing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-19209968015321825932014-02-25T12:32:09.257-05:002014-02-25T12:32:09.257-05:00NOT everyone is a Felon or has a Criminal Arrest Record.

With runaway policing and jailing-for-profit, everyone has a criminal record. A criminal record now means nothing, except that government is far too big and will eventually arrest everyone for everything.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
