You keep claiming "disproportionate response". I don't know that I agree.
One guy caught stealing the livelihood of the builder, and depriving the person who will own the building from either shelter or a business (another livelihood) loses his car, losing both _his_ livelihood as a taxi driver AND as a theif. Seems balanced to me. (of course, bigger picture, i would have taken the guy's taxi and GIVEN it to the owner of the wood, or taken the taxi and given it to a kid's shelter to sell. No use destroying a valuable asset. But I still would have seized it. I _hate_ thieves) On Mon, Feb 9, 2009 at 11:50 AM, Michael Grant <[email protected]> wrote: > > So punishment fitting the crime is simplistic?
