I said this, since there appears to be much sympathy for those who think that it is OK to screw the landlord. No landlord in right mind tries to evict a tenant because they are a few days late if only because the vacancy will prove more costly than the delay. There is always background to such stories when they are written to be sympathetic to one side.

OK, so then let’s have jail time for speeding. That would give the police a lot more flexibility in jailing people who probably have done a lot more than just speeding.
