Well I bet Canny Ong tried to reason or beg her way out when she was abducted. I bet Sharlinie was too young to realize she was abducted and God knows where she is now. I bet the hundreds of people who had first hand encounters with snatch thieves wished they could “talk” to their assailants.

Then again I bet that is assuming that our society consists of civilized people.

I agree there could be more parties sharing the responsibility of a rising crime rate. But the reason I chose to pin point one ROOT cause is because crime rates although we cannot drive it down to zero but there are many ways in which we can reduce it to acceptable levels and it is the job of the government to ensure necessary steps are implemented in order to achieve that.

Like you’ve mentioned, “there are those who are poor but did not resort to stealing as a solution”

Exactly. So those who DO resort to committing crimes should be punished in a harsh fashion during such trying times because they are not the only ones struggling to cope with the recent developments.

i agree when you said that we all hate those crap that have nothing better to do rather than being a pain in the society…

however, i partially agree if you are putting all the blame onto the government . yes, the current government policies are indirectly affecting the social behavior of people( some might choose towards the negative side)….

but it is important to know that to steal is a choice of any human being. how difficult his life would be, its his choice to choose the solution….there are those who are poor but not to resort stealing as a solution…

and the choice to shoot is also yours…
