    That’s a good thing, not a bad one. But my objection still stands. It’s a harsh sentence for a non violent crime. Which, if harsh sentences did any good, I wouldn’t object. But they don’t.

      How would you handle someone that intentionally starved thousands of children? It’s not like this was some broke starving person stealing a tampon, they had a stable, well paying executive job and made an intentional choice.

        Hyperbole isn’t useful either.

        This was not literal starvation. Shitty, underhanded, and illegal, but not starvation. If you’re going to insist on exaggerating the issue, please don’t bother me.

        I’ll say it again, it doesn’t matter what the non violent crime is, you make the justice about fixing what they did. I’m not sure where in the thread I said it, but I suggested a decade of community service working in the very program stolen from, under heavy supervision.
