I like the idea. What was it.....Mandatory 5 year Felony ?? Oh yeah, we'll find a place to put them evil-doers.....we'll double 'em in with Bobba ! And only one bunk in the Cell.
What does the Homeowner get if we shoot one dead on our Porch ?? We just saved the State 5 years worth of grub.
It's silly, it does not go along with other statutes. It is simply larceny, just like other theft. Mandatory 5 year sentence is silly. Just needs to have the same sentence as larceny (petty or grand). They just want to propose this because it is a very sad and selfish crime. People can just be smarter and not leave packages out on the porches, set to retrieve them quickly. There are people in my neighborhood that leave the delivered package outside for the whole weekend signaling they are not home (not smart)....

I'm all for it. Let's stop simply slapping criminal's hands and setting them free. These people need to be punished to the point they learn a lesson. When crimes are happening in your neighborhoods and to you and your family, it's time to get harsher with punishments.

I don’t think anyone is advocating letting them off. There just isn’t a need for new laws. Just enforce the ones on the books already.

Isn't that how SC works though. You commit a crime, go to jail for a day or two, if that long, then are free to go home with a slap on the hand? People just aren't punished enough to learn a lesson. I'm so tired of the crime.
I just hate lazy no good hoodlums that steal. They take what hard working people work hard and honest to obtain. I'm so sick of it. I say do like they do in Saudi Arabia. If you steal, cut off the arm. If you rape, do the Bobbit. See how much crime we have then. I don't have the patience or any sympathy for any of these hoodlums.

A live video came across my Facebook page. A guy had stolen about 15,000 in equipment today. The police set up a road block. The guy fled in his truck with stolen goods and police chased him for about 45 minutes in N. Chas, Goose Creek and Hanahan with helicopters and canine. The policeman interviewed said they were aware of this guy. He was currently on bond for larceny and a frequent inmate at the Hill-Finklea Detention Center. Well, how about y'all just keep him an inmate and don't let him out so he can keep committing crimes and stealing from hard working people? Another case of not treating criminals in a way that teaches them a lesson. There needs to be stricter punishment.
Quoted from news article:
"Deputies say Beaudrot has been a 'frequent flyer' with Berkeley County Sheriff’s Office and was arrested in Dec of 2018 and April 2018."

Lobby your representatives to enforce laws on the books and let them know you are willing to pay more in taxes to keep bad people locked up.
Or how about make his time in jail not as sweet. Dont' allow daytime TV where they all sit around watching Maury Povich and Jerry Springer. Put them outside tarring roads, digging ditches or any other hard labor to help improve their town. If they can't stop crimes, put them in solitary or something harsher? Feed them food but the non-tastiest food out there and serve it every night.
I don't know what the answer is but I'm sick of it. To me it is getting worse and worse. Everyone in my family has been affected directly one way or another by local crime.
When I hear of prisons where most somehow get a hold of cell phones and are still committing crimes from within, it sickens me. How are these guys getting phones?
It's funny but in the old days you didn't see almost every other house with home alarm systems. Now you see alarm signs all over neighborhoods. It's a necessity. I can't imagine being able to sleep at night without one.
