He apparently has quite a rap sheet for theft obamanut2012 Apr 2012 #2

You've got to be kidding me! Th1onein Apr 2012 #9

So we get to commit theft against him? Snake Alchemist Apr 2012 #13

That would be a bit idiotic, since he HAS nothing, don't you think? Th1onein Apr 2012 #15

You said the punishment should fit the crime. What punishment would you like to see? nt Snake Alchemist Apr 2012 #17

How about taking the fucking soft drink away from him? Th1onein Apr 2012 #18

Since he's not actually going to go to prison under Florida law, onenote Apr 2012 #21

That isn't really a punishment. Wouldn't it be more like take a soda from his fridge? Snake Alchemist Apr 2012 #35

I really don't have anymore time to waste on this silly crap Th1onein Apr 2012 #37

You were the one who thought the punishment should fit the crime. Didn't really think that through Snake Alchemist Apr 2012 #38

Thought it through just fine Th1onein May 2012 #46

Devil's advocate here: Then why not just take away the jewelry the thief just "lifted"? rustydog Apr 2012 #41

Did you read the article? Meiko Apr 2012 #8

The old south still exists. Dawson Leery Apr 2012 #7

Misleading -- the article does not accurately reflect Florida sentencing law onenote Apr 2012 #10

I guess ABC News didn't know that, either KamaAina Apr 2012 #11

That was my point onenote Apr 2012 #12

Aww but that's no fun 4th law of robotics Apr 2012 #14

While not as fun as the others, I thank you for the very informative post. Kaleva Apr 2012 #20

Thanks. n/t cynatnite Apr 2012 #24

Funny how you left out the part where he was given the chance to pay the $1 and he refused. NYC Liberal Apr 2012 #22

What! ornotna Apr 2012 #26

zOMFG! He cursed at the manager?! KamaAina Apr 2012 #27

I said nothing about him cursing. I said he was given the opportunity to pay and he refused. NYC Liberal Apr 2012 #30

He has a rap sheet a mile long. I'll find someone else to feel sorry for. Johnny Rico Apr 2012 #23

It sounds more like he was arrested for trespassing and disorderly intoxication Sen. Walter Sobchak Apr 2012 #28

Fair enough. Five years in prison for trespassing and disorderly intoxication?? KamaAina Apr 2012 #29

and my reply is why are you still pretending that this guy will get five years onenote Apr 2012 #34

"There is not a chance in hell he's getting five years." KamaAina Apr 2012 #40

So you prefer mandatory sentences with no judicial discretion? onenote Apr 2012 #42

No. I believe in the punishment fitting the crime. KamaAina Apr 2012 #44

So do I. But how do you propose to achieve it, since you don't think the Florida approach is good. onenote Apr 2012 #45
