Dear Editor,
One of our country’s handicaps that
often raises its ugly head, are the “riots”. My questions, what causes these
uncontrolled riots, property damage and deaths? It seems of late the municipal
leaders as well as government point a disconcerting finger at our dedicated
security for being too forceful. The point of contention is, “What do we do
with rioters?” Locking these people in an 8’ by 10 cell behind bars does not
contribute discipline, education in a way to becoming a better citizen. What is
needed is a regimental form of discipline - beneficial to a controlled
lifestyle. A “boot camp” that teaches tolerance and self control!
Once that is achieved we must open books
to educate the mind. Many of our military bases have these facilities that may
be utilized. Utilize these abandoned farms to grow food to sponsor this
endeavor. (Teach various trades, carpentry, plumbing, accounting, etc.) Put
these people to work to enrich America.
We have the unemployed with skills, as
well as the welfare recipients drawing substance allowance that we can use as
teaching instructors in the trades. These are in all of our United States!
(This should be a mandate.)
We have boot camp for youths, why not
rioters.
