In the US you can get life in prison from shoplifting 3 times it’s a shite law designed to fill their for profit prisons with poor people.
shoplifting is a crime, lets not forget that
If i was caught accidentally shoplifting twice, i know i would be very careful to pay for my stuff, infact i might write myself a note " I must pay for my shopping "
It's not that simple though is it, personally I don't think that a single mother shoplifting nappies for her baby because she can't afford them deserves life in prison
No of course it isnt, and of course i dont think that either, and to be honest you have to have a line, you used the single mother and nappies, i know a number of people in the US and that single mother would get help ( mainly from churchy types, but thats got to be better than prison ? ? ? ) I know a High school teacher who spent the summer taking " extra lessons " in his school and buying 9 pupils lunch everyday, the " lunch service " ( which is free for these pupils ) had stopped as its the summer holidays , these pupils had no interest in the lessons, but they came to school to be fed, so help is around
the likely shoplifter will be the junkie who " steals " to fund his / her habit, i know this will open up another discussion about " they are addicts / they have a illness etc etc "
What a country relying on the church or your teacher to provide basic neccesities and getting life in prison for committing a petty crime 3 times.
Even if it isn't an illness, do you think drug addicts deserve life in prison?
Its not perfect, but the guy i used as a example is doing his best to make it work
oh and it has disney world, so its not all bad
They deserve help ( which they are given ) and the chance to be clean
Do you think these addicts deserve the rights to shoplift and rob people to fund the habit ? ? ?? as if they are not in prison that is what they are doing
The attitude of Blue Matt and Dembethewarrior is pretty depressing isn't it? Can't just be me that thinks that.
Is this the worst take of 2019? Have you ever considered critically thinking about something?
A life sentence. A LIFE SENTENCE for that? Doesn't it seem disproportionate?
As was suggested with speeding, no one lives 100% within the law 100% of the time. Would you really want to live in a country that operates like that? If so, perhaps there are some in the middle east you might like.
from my knowledge not in a alot of US states, most minor traffic violations are " misdemeanours " of course it varies from state to state
See above, Did i say i wanted to live in a country like that ? ? ?
you might have missed the content i used it in, here it is, just below for you to read again, 46 offences inc 5 sexual offences
If you are referring to my post below, i was pointing out shoplifting is a crime, my 2nd sentence was purely tongue-in-cheek about " accidentally shoplifting " apologies if my tongue-in-cheek caused you to be offended, but last time i checked humour wasnt banned on the internet
The original post is about a guy who certainly shouldn't be allowed to roam the streets. The post of yours I quoted is about shoplifting from first word to last.
"shoplifting is a crime, lets not forget that

The point is, shoplifting is a crime that you and others probably don't do. So you're in favour of zero tolerance. But why should there be tolerance for all the crimes that you do? A speeding car/window cleaning van can kill someone. Pocketing something in a shop probably won't.
Apologies for offending you by saying you wanted to live in a middle east country. That's how it works, right?
