Well, if we are not permnitted to suggest specific punishments, may I simply quote the Bible? "Spare the rod and spoil the child." Amen

due to overcrowding in the area jails/prisons, the alleged perp will likely be back out on the street in no time. His crimes are not violent or severe enough. Why even bother arresting him... Our system sucks.

Is any one surprised that he " has a history of similar crimes"? Would anyone want to guess which judge he has gone before in the past? Not politically correct to suggest a punishment?
