"Maybe if the security guards actually carried weapons instead of a whistle and a flashlight people may think twice before robbing inside the mall!"--Blakely Johnson.

"They will still catch him, every ankle monitor is monitor[ed] by a private company. Even if he let the monitor die, probation or parole can look at each of there guys who may fit the profile. If he let his ankle monitor die then he becomes suspicious. Oh well give it a couple of weeks and he will be in custody..."--Peace Justice

"And there you have it folks. A flashlight- toting, plastic badge wearing, $12 per hr 'softer law enforcement '. You asked for it.... there you go. This is the reality of no law enforcement"--Elaine Jet
