Road Sign Vandals

John Winston Howard
and he's gun laws.. LOL

Couldn't agree more gmd, and thats no more prevalent than in our outback and city (think Redfern in Sydney) aboriginal communities. As a society, we failed them.

Tony.

Yep, some guy even carved his initials on Chambers Pillar back in 1870. People photograph that graffiti these days :-))

.

I thought it was 1860??

Back then though it would not have even been considered vandalism.

People who deliberately vandalise signs these days know they are doing wrong - that is why they look back every 10 seconds, to make sure nobody is looking...

The guide post problem has an easy fix - just replace every fifth one with one of those old concrete ones... :)

Would also believe that any body when committing a crime should have all their rights taken away so if colt and the victim has the right to defend their selves and their property and beat the s*** out of the perpetrator

Ray I agree, maybe they should be Named and Shamed, and made to clean up their vandalism, you allways see the blurred faces of these idiot morons on TV when they get caught ect, my opinion if they are teenagers or older throw the book at them.

Guys, What's changed over the years is the Happy Clappers and Do Gooders have had gutless pollies change the laws and the Magistrates feel sorry for the poor souls.
The other problem is our Jails are full. So they are given softer sentencing.
EG, Reading the Northern Star while on holidays, A young bloke goes DUI 0.15 I think it was, plus a string of other charge and he is a reap offender and hasn't had a job for five odd years . He gets 18 months loss of license, 2 year suspended sentence, $3000.00 fine. He applies for Legal Aid and appeals his conviction on the grounds that he is unemployed and could not possibly pay back a fine of that size. Another Magistrate, says that his unemployment was not taken into account and reduces it to a $600.00 fine, to be paid back when he finds full time employment, 9 months loss of license, and no recorded conviction.

What The?
What kind of message does this send to others. Make out your the one that is hard done by and some bleeding heart some where will listen to you and feel sorry for you.

I reckon bring in the idea of Road Gangs. When they are sentenced to hard labour, make it Bloody Hard for them so they think twice before doing it again. Make them walk the roads and clean up the rubbish, remove the Graffiti, fix the signs. Take away their pay TV and all their cushy living inside the Big House.

It's Saturday Arvo, I will put my soap box

away for now and go and get a beer :)

There you go....well said Matt.

I think that when they catch the graffiti vandals, if they have a car, get them to spray graffiti all over their own car.
Then they can see how much inconvenience and cost it is to get it fixed.
If they haven't got a car, take them home to their own house and get them to graffiti all the fences and walls on their own house.
Humiliate them with their own stupidity.

I suppose, then, they learned the valuable lesson that "Grime doesn't pay"!
