Sherriff Joe Arpaio in AZ
« on: July 13, 2005, 11:53:09 AM »

TO THOSE OF YOU NOT FAMILIAR WITH JOE ARPAIO HE IS THE MARICOPA ARIZONA
COUNTY SHERIFF AND HE KEEPS GETTING ELECTED OVER AND OVER.

THIS IS ONE OF THE REASONS WHY:

Sheriff Joe Arpaio (in Arizona) who created the "tent city jail":

He has jail meals down to 40 cents a serving and charges the inmates for
them.

He stopped smoking and porno magazines in the jails. Took away their
weights. Cut off all but "G" movies.

He started chain gangs so the inmates could do free work on county and city
projects.

Then he started chain gangs for women so he wouldn't get sued for
discrimination.

He took away cable TV until he found out there was a federal court order
that required cable TV for jails. So he hooked up the cable TV again only
let in the Disney channel and the weather channel.

When asked why the weather channel he replied, so they will know how hot
it's gonna be while they are working on my chain gangs.

He cut off coffee since it has zero nutritional value.

When the inmates complained, he told them, "This isn't the Ritz/Carlton. If
you don't like it, don't come back."

He bought Newt Gingrich' lecture series on videotape that he pipes into the
jails.

When asked by a reporter if he had any lecture series by a Democrat, he
replied that a democratic lecture series might explain why a lot of the
inmates were in his jails in the first place.

More on the Arizona Sheriff:

With temperatures being even hotter than usual in Phoenix (116 degrees just
set a new record), the Associated Press reports: About 2,000 inmates living
in a barbed-wire-surrounded tent encampment at the Maricopa County Jail have
been given permission to strip down to their government-issued pink boxer
shorts.

On Wednesday, hundreds of men wearing boxers were either curled up on their
bunk beds or chatted in the tents, which reached 138 degrees inside the week
before.

Many were also swathed in wet, pink towels as sweat collected on their
chests and dripped down to their pink socks.

"It feels like we are in a furnace," said James Zanzot, an inmate who has
lived in the tents for 1 = years. "It's inhumane."

Joe Arpaio, the tough-guy sheriff who created the tent city and long ago
started making his prisoners wear pink, and eat bologna sandwiches, is not
one bit sympathetic He said Wednesday that he told all of the inmates: "It's
120 degrees in Iraq and our soldiers are living in tents too, and they have
to wear full battle gear, but they didn't commit any crimes, so shut your
damned mouths!"

Way to go, Sheriff! Maybe if all prisons were like this one there would be a
lot less crime and/or repeat offenders. Criminals should be punished for
their crimes - not live in luxury until it's time for their parole, only to
go out and commit another crime so they can get back in to live on taxpayers
money and enjoy things taxpayers can't afford to have for themselves.


Sheriff Joe was just reelected Sheriff in Maricopa County, Arizona.

Then Don wondered, "hmmm, have these guys thought this through.  I'm thinking we haven't seen nothing compared to the deletions that would happen around here if Sheriff Joe was a moderator and someone dented one of his rules."

And I think,

O chit, how easily my post can be misconstrued!

My point Don, was that "I like it" when we can count on a clear and fair response from someone when an issue arises.  Sherriff Joe strikes me as man that can see thru the B/S and would handle things fairly. He has my vote (in any election).

Remember, since I am a guest in Naitram's house my vote only counts if Naitram says it does. And until I'm asked to leave I will stand behind Naitram and also would stand by a man like Sherriff Joe! If we had more real men like him in every facet of our lives we would all be better off.

JMHO!

I heard a rumor that some big ex-SF guy with green stuff on his face had kidnapped old Joe, and drug him the liberal hot-bed of ignorance in Eugene Oregon, and was going to make Joe straighten out the town before he turned him loose...

Just a rumor I heard..... [smiley=nixweiss.gif]

This came from one of his inmate postings:

The tents are joke. I had access to anything I wanted. Cigarettes, Illegal drugs, pain killers, anything. Its the most lax jail in the country, not the toughest. The food was horrible! Mashed potato's with some kind of lard for dinner. Breakfast and lunch are served together. It is called a ladmo bag. The contents of the bag are the same everyday. Rotten bolongna, moldy bread, sour milk and one of those oramental oranges they grow for cattle feed. The restrooms and showers are a whole nother story. Hold your breath.

I'm not saying that I should've been treated like a king, but I should have been treated like a human being at least. He treats his abused animals better than he treats misdameanor inmates on work release.

How he gets elected every term is beyond me.

Sounds to me like, "Don't do the crime if you can't do the time".  
Fact, in New York City, a few years ago there was a statistic that there were over 40k people killed in crimes involving guns.  During that same period, in the entire country of Japan, there was, get this, 1!
Why, because in Japan, if you commit a crime and a gun is involved, it is mandatory death penalty.  To be carried out within one year, and a maximum of one appeal.
Seems that they are on to something.
Australia, having similar laws, had 12 deaths from guns during that report.
Just had a 14 y/o walk up to a kid in his neighborhood out here,  and shoot him dead over a video game.  The kid that was killed was 12.  They are trying to determine how to try the kid that did the shooting.  It was his fathers gun, that was just kept in an unlocked drawer by the bed.  The father said it wouldn't make sense to have a gun that he couldn't get to if an intruder came in.  Now he whining about the neighbors giving him a hard time.

40k gun related deaths in NYC?  Where did those numbers come from Striker; and accumulated for what period of time?  I was doing a policy document for a campaign I was helping out on last fall.  The latest numbers then reported by the FBI were for 2002 and had something like 365 gun related deaths in NYC for  that calendar year with the large majority being in Brooklyn and the Bronx.  A decade earlier at closer to the height of gun related violence the number was somewhere around 1400 for the year.  Both terrible numbers of course.  But 40,000 in the City doesn't even come close to passing the sniff test unless you're talking about something like the entire period from 1980 to 1995.  Then it might be at least getting in the ball park.

Japan actually has 17 offences on the books that allow capital punishment.  But it's usually imposed only for murders; especially murders during robberies or abductions.  It's also very specifically used in almost any homicide involving an explosive.  

The Japanese public usually polls in at somewhere around 3.5 or 4 to 1 in favor of capital punishment.  The Japanese also still perform capital punishment by hanging   [smiley=hanged.gif] .

I think they did two last year but four to six a year isn't uncommon.  Those executions are not in any way public.  The specific dates aren't pre-announced and they're commonly done when the Diet is not in session (so the opposition legislators aren't  given anything to make noise about).  Even after someone is hanged the Justice Ministry only announces that an execution has taken place but doesn't specifically say who was hanged or exactly when it happened.

The Japanse also don't have the speedy justice that seems suggested.  Their death row inmates can sit for years just as those in US Federal and state prisons do.  In the early 1990s Japan had a bit of a hiatus in its execution practice that specifically came after a half dozen or so cases had cropped up during the last half of the 80s wherein the convicted were proved innocent only after having been trying to prove their cases while spending years and years (in a couple cases as long as 26 or 27 years) on their death row.

Australia did away with it's death penalty back in about 1984 or 85; at least on the Federal level.  The law banning executions by the Federal government did allow the individual states to put it back on the books.  But I don't remember any of them having done so.  Japan and the US are the only "Western Industrial" powers that still in practice exercise the death penalty.

I heard a number of years ago, the sherrif had all of the county issued under-garments throughout the jail system "dyed" pink to slow down the rampant theft of these items from the various facilities.

I stand corrected, it was in the U.S.  When we were in Australia in '87, the head constable in Sydney,  was the one that was touting the fact that they have virtually no shooting deaths related to crime.

2lane, I am not sure where you got your info on who still has the death penalty, but according to Amnesty International, "over half the countries of the world still have a death penalty in place".  Granted, many have not used it for years, but that is no different than states here that have it, but don't use it.
I don't know what the use of owning an AK 47, or other assault weapon is, but the last job in the world I would want is being a cop in this country.  We give em grief when they catch us speeding, but want to know where the heck they are when we need em.
"at least 41 of the 211 law enforcement officers slain in the line of duty between January 1, 1998, and December 31, 2001, were killed with assault weapons." Quoted from Washington DC press statement, 2002.
It really doesn't matter the numbers, we are in fact a violent nation, with overzealous attorneys, and a penal system that is understaffed and over crowded.
The solution is not more jails, but get to the kids and pay attention to their problems.  Hell, if I ever acted toward an adult like the kids today tend to, I would have been whipped by the adult I disrespected and my old man when I got home from the whipping.
Today a kid can file "child abuse" charges against parents for a spanking, or in one case for being confined to their room!  JMHO
Don't want to start a wildfire here.  But my wife and I diciplined our kids when needed, and taught them repect, they aren't perfect, but they are a productive part of society.  BTW, we didn't always have the way of life we have today, and the kids went without many times, but they also started working at 16, and they all were told that they had to get a way to get to college if they wanted to go, and they did.  We are proud of them.

Anyone that ignores that we have become a dangerous society, needs to take their head out of the sand and recognize there is a segment of our population that believes that they have a right to what we have worked for, and if we resist, or even if we don't we can eat a bullet.
Other than overcrowding, what is the excuse for someone committing multiple felonies before they face some form of punishment.  I agree with Ol' Joe.  Maybe it is time we stop doing what is politically correct, and more of what is warranted.

Striker it's true that many countries still have capital punishment on the books.  It is just under 60%.  The last time I looked was in 04.  At that time 81 countries had completely eliminated the death penalty.  Since there are close to 200 recognized governments on the world anymore that makes the math pretty easy.  

Of those that have it on the books many practice it; even if only rarely.  Others that don't have it on the books still occasionally "lose" a prisoner that has in fact been executed.  But none of that has any relevance to what I'd written.  

What I wrote was from the first world bloc of "western industrialized" nations there are only two that maintain capital punishment.  Those are Japan and the United States.  And that's true.  The rest of the countries with capital crimes still on the books are from other parts of the world.  

Please also note that I never said anything that either supports or speaks against capital punishment.  I simply never stated an opinion one way or the other.  Was merely pointing out more current data in relation to some numbers that had been posted so others wouldn't unnecessarily take things that were in error as gospel and pass them on.

Oddly enough, the last data that I looked at on the fed crime-rate web-site,  showed that Australia's violent gun crime rate actually went up lately, (minimally), and that was about the same time that they outlawed guns.  It's interesting that once an item is outlawed, only the outlaws will have that item.  And if that item is what you need to defend yourself from the outlaws, (since law enforcement is actually only there to arrest you for committing a crime, not to stop a crime), you are in sad shape at that point...

Except that over 2/3rds of the gun deaths in the US are during the commission of a crime.  Of the remaining 1/3rd, 42% are accidental shootings, that means that only a small percentage is left for self defense.  I don't agree with gun control, the laws are on the books to prosecute the illegal uses, we just need to start enforcing those laws.

Coolbreeze....I think your point may be proven in the Atlanta suburb or Kennesaw, GA.  In Kennesaw, they passed an ordinance a few years making it a misdemeanor to NOT HAVE A FIREARM  IN YOUR HOME if you were legally able to.  I have a daughter that lives there and it is unbelievable how uneffected they are by the close proximity of Atlanta, one of the most crime ridden, dangerous towns in the US.  No doubt, it works when you put enough heat on the bad guys to encourage them to think along the lines of "look for easy pickins' elsewhere".

I had heard about that a few years ago in conversation but never followed up to see how it turned out.  How heartwarming to hear that law enforcement by the citizens actually still works... [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif]

   As I currently reside in the REPUBLIC OF CALIFORNIA, I am not allowed to posess a "permit to carry". (I am a law abideing, Tax paying, non-criminal, US citizen, you understand).  I've recently purchased a couple of properties in maricopa county, and intend to relocate there soon, then you can belive I will be a LAWFULL "carry kinda guy".

Hey SERYDER, are you telling me that no one can get a concelled carry pistol permit in the state of Calif.????  Only criminals get to carry concealed?  Wow, guess I'd have to become a 'law-breaker' then.  I'd hate to move down on the 'food-chain'.  Har!  [smiley=rifle.gif]  spyder [smiley=skull.gif]

In Maryland if a responding officer is of the mind that citizens should not own guns, you could be arrested for felony assault if you pull a gun in self-defense on your own property.

  Makes me wonder again.... why do I live in Maryland?

hd20003,

   Got too many ties here. But I'm working on untying some. I plan to retire before too long. Then I’ll be out of here.


  I thought things would be better with our Republican Gov., they didn’t increase taxes, but the doubled all the fees, and continue to jack up property assessments. The cost of owning and or using any thing here has increased dramatically.  Oh, and just try to get a permit to carry here.

This is a perfect place


100 miles to the mountains
150 miles to the beach
Low taxes (if there is such a thing)

That's got to be one of those "relative terms."  And the more relatives you've got the longer is your term.......

Hd2003,

      My proximity to the beach / mountains is similar but not the taxes. N.C. or S.C. would be nice, but I had littler latitudes in mind say down around 15°N…....... like in the Caribbean mon.

I am the nicest old biker you ever met whenever I ride through Maricopa county which is damn near everytime I want to get out of California.I mind my P & Q's, obey the rules of the road and even nod or wave at the cops. Maybe a stinkin goat roper would be happy in a tent in the desert in 110 degree weather, but this old Maine boy would dry up and die. So I put my SERK in 6th gear and and put put along at one mile over the posted limit till I get into Cochese (pardon the SP) county.

 Just thought I'd mention, if anyone else missed it that SHERIFF JOE was the first to OFFER lodgings for the "FULL TERM OF HER SENTENCE" in his "tent city", to the Los Angeles county Sheriff, for the incarceration of Paris Hilton.
                                             DECLINED
  He has made it mandatory in Maricopa County that you spend your entire sentence incarcerated for alcohol and drug crimes. Yep, Mike Tyson is real nervous. He is potentially going to do allot more time for the 1/8th oz of COKE he was caught with, than the RAPE he was convicted of awhile back.
                                             DAMN
  He was the first "SOUTHWESTERN STATE, COUNTY SHERIFF" to make it mandatory that upon completion of your "ENTIRE" term of incarceration, A legal CITIZEN check will be made. If it is determined after your completion of detention that you are not a citizen or legal resident of these UNITED STATES, you will be turned over immediately to the DHS/INS (thats the boarder patrol JSZ)
 When asked by a national television network news "TALKING HEAD", with the backdrop of an immigration demonstration containing numerous people waving a large number of  Mexican flags for their cameras, about his PROFILEING of MEXICAN LOOKING individuals, his reply was along the lines of -I am not out looking for illegal aliens "BUT"  if you break the law in MARICOPA COUNTY, and come into contact with " MY BOYS", your citizenship will be checked. If you are not legally supposed to be in this country it is MY DUTY as sheriff to turn you over to the proper authorities.

 Yep, I gotta Admit... I LOVE THIS GUY !!!

Sounds to me like, "Don't do the crime if you can't do the time".  
Fact, in New York City, a few years ago there was a statistic that there were over 40k people killed in crimes involving guns.  During that same period, in the entire country of Japan, there was, get this, 1!
Why, because in Japan, if you commit a crime and a gun is involved, it is mandatory death penalty.  To be carried out within one year, and a maximum of one appeal.
Seems that they are on to something.
Australia, having similar laws, had 12 deaths from guns during that report.
Just had a 14 y/o walk up to a kid in his neighborhood out here,  and shoot him dead over a video game.  The kid that was killed was 12.  They are trying to determine how to try the kid that did the shooting.  It was his fathers gun, that was just kept in an unlocked drawer by the bed.  The father said it wouldn't make sense to have a gun that he couldn't get to if an intruder came in.  Now he whining about the neighbors giving him a hard time.
Life is rough ain't it. [smiley=thumbsdown.gif]  


A year or so ago, an English tourist visiting Singapore wa arrested for jumping up and down on car bonnets and he was ordered to be whipped in public.  His family were so outraged that they organised an appeal on morning TV and everyone who rang in said the same, "He shouldn't have done it"

If this Sherrif was to run for government over here he would walk in to 10 Dowwning Street as Prime Minister.  We are as liberal as you guys now and jail means holiday time.
