Posted by Nilet on Wed Feb 17 07:55:57 2010, in response to Consequences & Punishment (was: 'Graffiti Teen' Hit By Subway Train), posted by Train Dude on Tue Feb 16 15:07:34 2010. This wasn't a bank robbery, it was vandalism. There is a difference between a violent felony and a non-violent misdemeanor.In any case, the entire point of criminal charges is to prevent crime in general, not to satisfy people's bloodlust and mindless desire for vengeance. He lost a leg, he's not going to do it again. The fact that he lost a leg is going to do more to discourage other people than a fine or a few months of probation would. Therefore, any criminal proceedings against him are unnecessary, cruel, and a waste of money and effort on top of that. |
