Bring back the old days - Kingseat /Carrington
We need to be proactive. Nip it in the bud. Do what works!!!!! We need to relieve police, courts, hospitals, prisons and reopen the time out / mental hospitals where it takes 2 family signatures and in you go. Yes you don't want to go in there. You made to take medications, food and to behave etc otherwise the restraints are used. Yes you lose your freedom for as long as it's needed. But you come out detoxed / safe and vowing not to go through that again until you on the straight and narrow. It worked for some of my family / extended family in the old days so i thoroughly recommend this system. Cruel to be kind etc. Our population has doubled so we need twice as many (like roads and housing).
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
