Oh go rage somewhere else.
The Law is not about slaps on the wrists, it's about beating people's faces in and making them feel like stuff for the things they do to civilised people. They take things from us, we take their fingers until they have none left. When they run out, there's no Goddamn hope for them to be decent members of society, so we kill them. Personally, I'd enforce a Zero-Tolerance Policy, but that's "too drastic."

This discussion's over. OP, change the question so this will become an off-topic argument.
