Yeehaw!
don't you think that is kind of a harsh sentence (just for stealing mail)?
Aha! I was waiting for some bleeding heart to comment.
Well, Sand, he didn't only steal mail. He stole my identity, fucked up my credit, and took $4000 from my checking account. He did this to 22 other people as well. And this is not his first time getting caught. As I understand it, the gentleman is something of a career criminal.
So 12 years doesn't really bother me. And you know he'll probably out on parole in under five years.
And then he'll probably do it again.
That's awesome, Tony! Now I see why you're so smiley in your latest pics.
From my perspective, the time seems to fit the crime. Identity theft can be a living hell for some of its victims.
You had $4, 000 in a checking account??!!
I thought you were a struggling poet.
You must sell crack on the side. Or burritos.
Eduardo,
Well--it wasn't *really* my money. It was the result of my monthly pay (about 1000 dollars...can you believe it?) coinciding with a financial aid payment (read: loan that i must pay back). I never have that much money there otherwise.
But he managed to strike when I had the cash.
Well, Chris, I appreciate your support but I do worry about money. I don't have millions of it...
That said, wanna see a movie soon, your treat?
Are you going to the sentencing?
eduardo,
my first thought exactly. hehe.
tony,
good (kinda?) to hear.
Sorry about the Theft.
Still, I don't understand being happy about someone going to jail.
Sorry.
It makes me a bit ill.
I still love you tho and you do look cute in your last pics.
ps
"the time fits the crime"
sounds like a Republican coined that one!
sando
So Sand, what should we do with criminals? Can't put 'em in jail, certainly can't kill them...
I don't believe in jail.
That's a long story tho. You will have to IM me!
It isn't very compassionate to take pleasure in people whose lives are that fucked up. That is all I am saying.
sand
Sand, I'm taking pleasure in the fact that this particular episode is over.
Since you don't believe in jail, you want we should let the rapists and molesters go too? After all, it can't be very pleasant for them in there.
Tony,
I am deeply sorry for what happened to you. I can imagine that the situation that you faced was really bad.
I am simply pointing out the fact that justice was--and is--- not served on a fundemental level---how can, in this system of injustice--a punishment "fit" a crime? It's impossible.
The real situation with jail is that most of the people in it are drug offenders, not rapists and child molesters. The system isn't working.
Love,
Bleeding Heart
i'm working on a solution to the justice system. i'll get right back to you.
