re: #311 Dark_Falcon
No, what should have happened was that Michael Brown should have been punished appropriately for stealing those mini-cigars:
I think he should have spent his Christmas break from college doing community service and he should have been made to pay the store owner $50 for having stolen from him. Once those things had been attended to, I’d have expunged Brown’s record if he kept out of trouble for 2-3 years.
That is how things should have gone.
Excuse me, but shouldn’t he have been tried and convicted before being dealt your punishment? (Aren’t you the stickler for precision?)
