Oh no! That might actually help alleviate the problem. It's much easier and politically correct to punish the law abiding citizen. Don't want to be called racist ya know. It reminds me of when I was in school. Some moron in class would hit the teacher in the back of the head with an erasure while he had his back to the class writing on the blackboard. The teacher's punishment was to give the whole class detention.
Did anybody rat out the kid?
