Don't be stupid. Theft is a crime against property, whereas robbery is a crime against a person. Nowhere in my comment did I indicate robbery, but I'm sure you knew that. You're purposely dismissing my comment by straw manning it. Someone taking my property with or without me being present is a crime and should be punished.
With slavery?
Slavery is an absurd mischaracterization and exaggeration. If someone commits a crime, they should be punished and made to repay society for their actions. If that repayment means labor (cleaning on the side of the freeway or other such labor), then I think that is entirely fair. We all know the rules of the game, but some of us choose not to abide by them. If you don't want to be put in jail and/or forced to do compensatory labor, then don't commit the crime, it's truly as simple as that.
Lol that's a disgusting mischaractarization of slavery and you should seriously rethink your barbaric opinion. Look more into the conditions you keep your slaves in.
It's strange, you seem to care a whole lot more about the criminals than you do their victims. Are you this riled up when an innocent child is sexually abused? It's probably their fault for dressing too provocatively right?
You do the crime, you do the time, I don't give a flying fuck how uncomfortable you are in the process. I only care about the innocent person you traumatized because of your own selfish greed.
Exactly, whip them harder!
