And you think shop lifting is a crime? Seems we DO have an option on what to call the alternative “punishment”.
I think the current regime is criminal. Some poor jerk lifting a bag of underwear at Walmart is a crime.....but he is trumped 8 ways from Sunday by the current criminal activity emanating from the White Hut. And wait till we see the ‘shrinkage’ in our 401Ks.
Shop lifting is wealth distribution, fundamentally like a wealth tax.
