In the early 90s, there was an American teenager, Michael Fay, dumbass that he was, got caught vandalizing cars (Spraypainting I beleive) He got caught, and his punishment was six lashes with a cane (supposedly anything over 4 can send aperson into shock or worse)
There was such a furor over this - -that how could such a "non-violent" crime elicit such a serious punishment. Our government stepped in and the punishment I believe was reduced to 4 lashes. The kid should have gotten more.
Don't do the crime, if you can't do the time... expecting your government to bail you out when you screw up, is just wrong.
