-----
¿PENA DE MUERTE? 

Estoy en contra porque en los lugares donde existe o se implanta no hay mejoría en el índice de criminalidad y porque los errores de la justicia no pueden enmendarse (se puede dar libertad a un preso enjuiciadoy culpado por error pero no se puede volver a la vida a un ejecutado). Estos errores son muy comunes en nuestro sistema nacional de justicia.En lo moral tampoco me convence debido a que no hay forma en este mundo de que alguien pague por el sufrimiento infringido a la familia y a la persona secuestrada. Ni con un millón de años de tortura. Ese tipo de justicia va más allá de nuestra capacidad terrenal para aplicarla. En lo práctico si podría yo decir que es más fácil para el delincuente morir a pagar encerrado por muchos años (todos quizás) el delito cometido.

SECUESTROS ¡LA SOLUCIÓN!

Legisladores:¡Hagan ilegal la negociación y el pago del rescate (castigo con cárcel a quien no denuncie) y cobren multas tan altas como el pago mismo para quien lo realice!
Este programa fue un éxito en Italia contra grupos terroristas (brigadas rojas) a principios de la década de los 80s.Esto daría una salida moral a los familiares para no pagar debido a que normalmente sufren profundamente para tomar la decisión entre denuncia y entrega de sus bienes.Si la denuncia se torna en una exigencia de ley,¡esta decisión resultará más fácil!Como en todas las guerras habrá mártires pero hoy en día para los secuestradores de todos modos es más fácil deshacerse de la víctima que mantenerla prisionera (caso Martí en México, entre muchísimos otros).Lo importante de esta medida es que:
Sacará a la luz pública (previamente a las autoridades) la magnitud del problema puesto que se conocerán cuántos secuestros se realizan al año.Hará desistir de proseguir en el negocio a los actuales secuestradores y sobre todo hará desistir a potencialescriminales que considerarían a esta "industria del secuestro" como una mala inversión, muy riesgosa y poco redituable.La opinión pública podrá exigir con más argumentos (al conocer estadísticas más claras) a los responsables de seguridad pública para que bajen esto índices de maldad.
Concedido: Es una medida extrema pero este es un caso extremo. ¡A grandes males, grandes remedios!. ¡La sociedad esta muy enferma de este flagelo! Se requiere voluntad política (que podría aparecer ahora, dadas las gravísimas características de la situación actual).Esta no es una idea nueva. Se trató de implantar hace algunos años en la república mexicana. ¡Es hora de desempolvarla!
El argumento de que no se debe denunciar porque la policia es inepta, corrupta y a veces hasta culpable es el mismo que se esgrimió en Italia (agravado por el control de la mafia).
Tampoco funciona el razonamiento de que no se le debe añadir sufrimiento y humillación a los familiares que pagan y no denuncian, después de conocer las grabaciones que escuchamos en los medios donde ellos mismos se postran a los pies de los delincuentes con gritos desgarradores de clemencia para sus seres queridos)Lo sensato es dar claridad a la magnitud del problema (permitiendo conocer a la opinión pública todos los casos de secuestro existentes), lo que a su vez facilita la exigencia en la rendición de cuentas hacia los funcionarios responsables y de este modo se puede aspirar a corregir (a mediano plazo) la ineficacia de los cuerpos policiacos.DE TODAS FORMAS COMO SOCIEDAD (Y COMO ESTADO) NO PODRÍAMOS NUNCA PRESCINDIR DE LA POLICÍA. ¡POR LO TANTO DEBEMOS MEJORARLA, CUESTE LO QUE CUESTE!
Del mismo modo que los padres no se pueden deshacer de un rebelde hijo adolescente antes de tratar de reformarlo, nosotros no podemos deshacernos de las Instituciones de Seguridad Pública. En el primer caso quizás, en una decisión radical se le podría correr de la casa o internarlo. Para el caso de la sociedad no existe más opción que la de eficientar los sistemas de control. (Crear por ejemplo una policía dentro de la policía como lo hace el FBI --internal Affairs---- en EU) Resultará duro para los familiares no hacer el sacrificio de pagar el rescate y más duro será confiar en las desacreditadas autoridades, pero a mediano plazo (1 a 3 años, recordando que ya llevamos másde 20 años con esta gravísima crisis y que no hay soluciones mágicas), con una debida difusión informativa de esta ley (responsabilidad del gobierno) y algunos castigos a ciudadanos que no la observen. A falta de ganancias, los delincuentes desistirán de esta horrible industria.
No olvidemos que en el fondo este es un problema económico, de oferta y de demanda. De riesgo y ganancias.
También de corrupción puesto que para que se consuma el delito deextorsión debe haber alguien que se convierta en cómplice al pagarlo.
Mi familia y yo ya hemos tomado la difícil decisión de que en el caso de que esto nos sucediera, la primera acción que tomaríamos sin siquiera escuchar a los criminales será la denuncia a lasautoridades.
O sea algo similar a lo que los expertos recomiendan con las llamadas de secuestro express o de extorsión por celular (lo que ha disminuido est delito).
¡El bravucón vive hasta que el cobarde quiere!
jcnn
PD:

(DAR RECOMPENSAS ---¿500,000 PESOS?--- PARA QUIEN DENUNCIE A SECUESTRADORES, TAL Y COMO SE PROPONE AHORA, TAMBIÉN PODRÍA SER UNA BUENA IDEA EN COMBINACIÓN CON LA AQUÍ EXPUESTA)

¡Ninguna salida es fácil!jcnn

Si Usted esta de acuerdo con esta seria proposición por favor cópiela, hágala suya añadiendo lo que Usted quiera y comuníquela a sus amistades y a las autoridades que tenga a su alcance por los medios que Usted considere convenientes.
