Man Released From Prison, Carjacks Vehicle In Parking Lot
On December 14th, Sean L. Hawkins Jr. walked out of Prince George's County Jail in Maryland on his own recognizance. He immediately carjacked a Toyota 4Runner because he "needed a ride home from jail."
The 22-year-old, six-foot-tall, 300 Lb Hawkins had been arrested and tossed in the slammer after assaulting his own mother, but the judge let him loose when a court date was assigned. Obviously Sean couldn't call his mom, but instead of getting a taxi or inconveniencing a friend, he yanked Roberto Valladares from his Toyota 4Runner and took off for home. Police caught up with Hawkins a couple hours later when they spotted him driving around without his headlights on, and now additional charges have been added to his docket. Really, really dumb.

Yeah, shoot 'em all and let God sort 'em out. Yee haw!!!!!!!! Now I'm off to my Trans-Am with the footprint gas pedal. "When in doubt... peel out," is what Pappy always used to say between plugs of Old Crow.I never had it like this where I grew up. But I send my kids here because the fact is you go to one of the best schools in the country: Rushmore. Now, for some of you it doesn't matter. You were born rich and you're going to stay rich. But here's my advice to the rest of you: Take dead aim on the rich boys. Get them in the crosshairs and take them down. Just remember, they can buy anything but they can't buy backbone. Don't let them forget it. Thank you.Herman Blume - Rushmore -

We need a new Australia to ship people like this too. Seriously, is anyone stupid enough to think this person will ever be a contributing member of society? EVER?If you will it, dude, it is no dream.

I agree. The perp needs to spend some quality time behind bars. My only issue is that threads such as these invariably contain the same, tired "let's put a bullet in his skull" comment. Usually disquised as a feeble show of wit, but fairly transparent nonetheless.I never had it like this where I grew up.

I just said he was dumb. Didn't say a word about shooting him.
I also don't think it's a "tough guy routine". He was in jail for beating up his own mother. That's not a tough guy, that's someone with mental issues and trouble figuring out right from wrong.

Actually, if you think about it, he is a contributing member of society. For a society to exist, you need a group of people to share common belief in a criteria for membership in a social network based on characteristic patterns of organization. We call that a government and laws. To have such laws and government, we need to agree on what is right and wrong and what due process and due punishment entails.
Since a society is pretty much arbitrary, you need someone to do something so heinous that it sparks enough outrage within the social network to inspire a call to action which defines the heinous act, says it's bad, makes a law against that act and then sets forth guidelines and legislation for enforcement and punishment of that now illegal act. Otherwise, you have no precedent set to gauge the law and the enforcement action and power that goes with it.
By being a criminal, Mr. Hawkins actually does contribute to society in a few ways. He shows us that there is still precedent for the current law to stay in effect and be enforced. He shows us that there is still significant outrage within the society to say that what he has done is wrong which in turn validates the law. He also shows us that the current society still accepts a certain criteria for membership within the society that Mr. Hawkins does not fit. Therefore he is stripped of all but the basic human/civil rights and sent to jail where he is caged up and removed from the society in the name of the greater good.
In nature, Mr. Hawkins is known as "the dominant male".
But we, as a "society" no longer rely on a dominant male. With the advent of weapons, including the progression to guns, the large dominant male just means he's a bigger target for the small, subordinate male with a big gun. The unfairness of the whole scheme or nature is still there, it just shifted power to those with big guns and further those with big money to hire people with big guns to be their buddies.
There you go, chew on that idea for a while!Expert Moron Extraordinaire

I was merely reinforcing your statement concerning the degradation of threads in to the close-minded, single-track gutter that seems to permeate most if not all Internet based forums.

Really? That's awesome! I heard Israel is nice this time of year. How nice of it to come to me for a change instead of making me go all the way the hell over there! Think Jesus will come too? I heard he's one thrifty dude. Guy on the corner keeps yelling at me "Jesus saves!" Good thing too. I only got like 10 bucks for lunch so we'll have to hit up Wendy's for some junior bacon cheeseburgers. One question though. How do the wolves used hand guns if they don't have any thumbs?Expert Moron Extraordinaire

Sadly, I think there's a large number of people that know right from
wrong and choose wrong. They solve arguments with violence.
They are disconnected from the rest of us. That is what much
of "rap culture" is about. Taking care of number #1. The music is
a reflection of what rappers see around them. Rap music didn't cause it.
150 years ago, people could just move away from the problem and
other people. That no longer is an option. It's a shame,
because some of our early pioneer heroes were not model citizens."The legitimate powers of government extend to such acts only as are injurious to others. But it does me no injury for my neighbour to say there are twenty gods, or no god. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg." --Thomas Jefferson -

I love how music can brighten up a bad day. -
I think we'll need to prepare for much more conduct of this kind due to the wonderful influence of wildly popular vid games like Grand Theft Auto that many dim-bulb kids are playing, and then emulating out on the streets. Only one or two minor differences....no reset button and it's for "keeps"!! F'ing games that glorify cop killing and don't bother to illustrate real life consequences are a great moral to present to todays yoot (youth):(
I live in MD and avoid PG County like the plague !!! -
Video games! LOL. God help us.
With teh video games I play, yo'ud think I'd want to pick up a guitar every time I see one, and start playing it at a rock venue.
It's amazing more people from older generations aren't obsessively stacking odd-sahped blocks hoping to make lines of them, or that they aren't all tennis pros from playing pong, or that they don't all eat pellets while running away from ghosts.If you will it, dude, it is no dream. -

I've got an inside line on the mentality of the kids through my wifes being a middle school teacher, the mindset I described is for real. As for Sir Ozz... I just want to kill the rig that's reproducing his "music" whenever it is within earshot!! Edit: I do kinda like the "Mama I'm coming home" song.:D
