I agree, they just mentioned on the radio how full the prisons are, maybe such a deterant will help alleviate the problem.
What about their human rights?
Seriously though I think a new law needs to be introduced here. It would state that any criminal injured while committing a crime does not have the right to be treated.
For example if a hijacker is shot he isn't taken to hospital or even treated. Just chucked in the police van and taken away. If he expires tough ****.

Sounds like a plan. Or allow them treatment if they can fund it themselves from non-criminal proceeds but the taxpayers shouldn't subsidise it.
Bit tough if you're lying unconscious in the street bleeding to death.
So you must prove you can fund it before they help you. If you're incapacitated tough ****.
You could go further and say any inmate guilty of a serious crime will not get any state sponsored treatment at all for anything during their stay in prison

I'm not too concerned about it being tough.
Yeah why not, the only treatment they should get is that necessary to ensure the health of the public at large.I'm not too concerned about it being tough.
My way we sneak in the death penalty. Bubba and his bugs will be the executioner

If it works it works.
Exactly.
It will really upset the extremists though
But that is then the whole of the ANC brigade? Not! Shame!

I think they need to face the real world anyway.
True
Whats that supposed to mean?
If I was a criminal I'd vote ANC that's for sure

That's a daft law, you might as well just introduce kangaroo courts because you're basically labelling the person a criminal before they've had their day in court. Would you condone the same actions if a loved one killed someone while speeding?
You can't equate speeding with hijacking.

Why not?
If you guys really want to let these guys bleed to death, then you should also vote that the cops leave wounded robbers alone. Once they're chucked into the police van, the state becomes responsible for them because they're restricting the freedoms of those who've been arrested, even though they're presumed innocent until proven guilty.
But hey, if you want to chuck away the fundamental cornerstones of justice and rule of law, be my guest. Or rather, no. I happen to like these concepts, and if you threaten them, then like the all the other criminals you deserve to be removed from society for your crimes.
