What do you mean by 'removed from society'? Do you really mean you think someone should get a life sentence for stealing some cameras? Do you mean they should be executed? Something else? And then you say 'to set an example'. By that, do you mean 'they should be punished in excess of the harm they caused, to deter others from doing the same'? If so, by its very nature, that's obviously unjust and immoral. Your reaction sounds far more third-world-country than the original act you're responding to. 'Straight to jail': [VIDEO] It sounds like a desire to turn the country into an authoritarian paradise. In my opinion, such opinions are unamerican.
