Well that was the question and the whole point of the thread. I responded to it, you didn't. You're just ranting.

I agree and the way we treat a thief is to considerall the evidence associated with what they did and punish them accordingly. We don't and shouldn'tpunish a shop lifter the same as we do an armed bank robber.We don't say these2 people stole so they are both going to jail for 20 years. The way they commited the act ofstealing matters to a reasonable person. A reasonable person would want to know all the facts and then determine a punishment accordingly.

Look, I agree these guys are low lifes. The question is, how low are they? Without more information, Icouldn't put a $ value on it.
