LMAO Good for everyone involved. Nice work by the Police Dept and San Quentin gets three deserving residents for the next 20 yrs. or so. the ballsy  thing is they hit Todd twice. happy for Todd and this is good for all of who sell their gear and Jude is to be commended for posting and helping with this. This is a win-win for everyone in this community.

impressive.  I said a few pages back I doubt they would get caught and I'm glad I was wrong

Doing undoable harm to someone as a means of "justice" is never the way to go, because when you screw up, look at what you've done. Aside from that, how is irreversible physical damage to someone ever justified if they didn't do the same to you? Money is not the same thing as a physical part of your being, so it would never be OK in any situation to do something like that for a crime like this. Justice shouldn't be about punitive damages, it should be about undoing the wrong that was done (to the furthest degree possible). If you killed someone, the best you can do is keep them from doing it again, so we have life sentences. There's MANY people who have sat on death row who were later found innocent. Just imagine, how much harm would have been done to those hundreds of innocent people if it weren't for their very ardent defense attorneys? In my eyes, one innocent person's suffering is one too many, and with stuff like that happening we should never do anything irreversible like that.
I understand where you're coming from though with scaring other people off from doing it, but I'm not one to believe in negative reinforcement. It just comes down to being for punishment rather than justice. Seriously, how is cutting someone's manhood fixing the problem? No matter the consequences if people think they can get away with it, bad things will still happen.
 
If I get shut down, fine, I understand, but I still defend the relevance of this to the conversation. We're talking about potential consequences for a thief in a thread about a thief being caught, seems relevant enough to me, especially if no one is objecting.

Thank you. You're the first person to make a reasoned and sane post to this thread regarding punishment. And I agree that its not entirely off-topic. Its just been completely ridiculous and idiotic up to this point. I understand the desire to show fervent support for Todd but if anyone here seriously believes a man should lose parts of his body because of a theft.... well then I don't know what to say. We're lucky you're not in charge of our country's laws because we'd live in a terrible place.

Well if you think a safe place is a terrible place. I can not argue with you.
