Unless they think they can get away.... I can't remember what I did, I did a lot of dumb shit had a lot of learnings experiences as a kid. One I was always remember was my Dad chasing me down with one leg in a santa clause cast hearing the thump of every other step behind me getting closer... I knew I was going to get my ass beat if he caught me, fortunately I slipped on ice and ate shit bad enough he felt sorry for me....
As for the thread title... Yea, an eye for an eye .... Steal a candy bar, be forced to eat them until you puke. Kill someone intentionally get the rope.... Where it gets difficult is the guy/gal who's going through a divorce goes on a bender because their wife/husband completely fucked them up emotionally and they do something stupid in a drunken rage.... How do you handle that ? Eh bad example I guess.
Good points made above about those that had a really fucked up childhood...
I guess it really depends on the severity and circumstances of the crime / incident.
Society has become way to soft, it's not good.
What should happen to E Jean Carroll if ever found to have lied. Stealing X amount of money is a felon charge ….. most States it is $500 and above. If she lies and gets caught taking millions from Trump what should happen? She has already been shown to be bat shit crazy.
So….what if she isn’t lying?
Was it just a lovers quarrel head bump rough sex. He wasn’t charged with rape.
What happened to this guy? Was he punished.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) —
The Illinois Supreme Court will hear an appeal of actor Jussie Smollett’s disorderly conduct conviction for staging a racist and homophobic attack against himself in 2019, then lying to Chicago police about it.
The court on Wednesday accepted the appeal from Smollett, formerly a cast member of the television drama “Empire.” It will review a December
state appellate court rulingthat upheld his 2021 conviction by a Cook County jury.
The case kicked up an international uproar and produced an intensive manhunt by Chicago police detectives.
There is no date set for the high court to hear arguments in the matter.
A special prosecutor refiled charges against Smollett after Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx dropped the case and Smollett forfeited his $10,000 bond and conducted community service, which Smollett argues ended the case.
In a 2-1 decision, the state’s First District Appellate Court dismissed those claims, declaring that no one promised Smollett he wouldn’t face a fresh prosecution after accepting the original deal. Justice Freddrenna Lyle dissented, calling the refiled charges “fundamentally unfair.”
His attorneys have argued that Smollett, who is Black and gay, has been victimized by a racist and politicized justice system.
Smollett was found guilty of
five counts of disorderly conduct for setting up the attack in which he claimed two men assaulted him on a Chicago street. He claimed they spouted slurs and an oath about being in “MAGA country” — an apparent reference to former President Donald Trump’s rallying credo — before tossing a noose around his neck.
Testimony at his trial indicated Smollett paid $3,500 to two men whom he knew from “Empire,” which was filmed in Chicago, to carry out the attack. But Smollett took the stand and told the jury,
“There was no hoax.”
He was sentenced to 150 days in jail — six of which he served before he was freed pending appeal — 30 months of probation and ordered to pay $130,160 in restitution.
