   Bad idea. My grandmother got suckered into buying “medical insurance”. Paid out almost $ 8,000 before the rest of the family found out. I made it my personal business to tag this bastard. Found out he’s victimized over 30 other elderly persons like my grandmother. He had a record of arrests for this same crime in FIVE different states. Four of the states gave him probation because it wasn’t a violent crime, the fifth, let him out early. Five of the people he suckered lost their homes. One of them committed suicide. As far as I’m concerned these non-violent offenders are worse than a armed robber. They should be turned over to their victims and beaten to death.

   Well, for that matter, why don’t we release all the gang members who only killed other gang members? That way we reduce the population in prisons and in gangs all in one move.

   White collar crime affects you too. Your insurance premiums? Those are a result of fraud. If your car insurance prices don’t make you want to throw these people in jail, I don’t know what will.

   If more states believed in the death penalty,that would solve the problem with the over crowding,I am talking about the people that have killed someone or pedophiles.

   They could give them community service, but long term ones.
