Tell me you haven't seen the video without saying you haven't seen the video.
The woman is a career criminal and a repeat offender. And the sentencing happened in Florida, not New York or California.
I know there is a crim wave happening in this country, but DO NOT let what is happening in the two biggest leftist states color your thoughts on the more reasonable states.
Yes, I saw the video, but 30 years seems harsh when compared to illegals who murder and pedophiles getting one year or less. How can the theft be justified for 30 years? Taxpayers are footing the bill for 30 years. Put her on a daily work gang, home confinement with an ankle monitor, let her figure out how she pays her rent, utilities and food bill. It would force her to work evenings or nights from home with some type of remote work or live with friends/relatives. I am tired of paying for criminals to live out their lives in prison. Save the prisons for serious stuff or start harsher penalties: murder conviction=death penalty; theft=chop off the hand; graffiti=make them restore the entire wall/fence plus financial restitution; property destruction=replacement value x4; rape=chemical or physical castration or death penalty; pedophilia=death penalty. Mandatory sentencing. No mercy for mentally ill, “poor” or abused childhood. Until we intercede with tougher, mandatory sentencing, nothing will change. Taxpayers should not have to bare the consequences. Compare the streets, subways, bus stops in our cities to other nations. We look like we are the slums. Trash everywhere. Graffiti everywhere. Waste products and drug abuse everywhere. Make those defecating and urinating in the streets clean up the mess for 1 full year, I bet they stop. Stop treating prisoners with kid gloves: exercise rooms with equipment, no work gangs because it is cruel and unusual punishment. Make them work in prisons or on the outside. There is plenty of road work, shoveling, city repair, tree trimming, wood chopping, street guard rail repairs, mowing city property, that can be done. Make them earn their keep. Make prisons working prisons where they learn skill while earning their keep in food service, laundry, making appliances, license plates, clothing, etc. instead of buying from foreign countries.
The answer to your issue isn't to reduce the penalties for career criminals, it is to increase the penalties for the other people that are getting far too light of a sentence.
By your rules, eventually all crimes would be reduced to nothing since we can't be too harsh for some.
I agree with your second paragraph. 30 years for theft, when a pedophile gets 1 year is ludicrous. I would like to see murderers and pedophiles executed. They are worthless to society and can’t be rehabilitated.
