At least they punish the perpetrators... They over-punish whereas we under-punish. Under-punishment is worse because it implicitly punishes those who do the right thing by allowing perpetrators to get away with crimes; it encourages crime. Just wait 10 years and you will understand what I'm talking about. You severely underestimate how bad things have become. It will dawn on you suddenly like a nightmare from which you can't wake up.

Maybe this comment seems alarmist but I'm trying to help. Read it with an open mind and a grain of salt. Better be alarmist than sorry.
