This is insane. You have about a massive breakdown of the social system and its rule during/after the storm, and then you inflict such long sentences on people who commit minor crimes in that time? I mean, we're not talking about violent crime here. When everybody is looting, taking a handful of people and giving them such hard sentences is ludicrous.
By the way, I'm not saying that there should or shouldn't be a punishment in that case. Only that, if there is a punishment, it sure as hell shouldn't be 15 years in jail.
