If I could torture the thieves who stole my TV, would I?
Of course. I would take away their TV, and their Blu-Ray, and their Playstation, and their Wii, and their iPhone and iPad, and their Blackberry and their laptop.
And I would take away their bling and their SUV.
And I would give them a bunch of books to read, a bicycle to ride, and veggies to eat.
I can be cruel when necessary.
