I dread waking up these days, worried about what will be in the news today

I agree maestro, the laws need to be changed so the punishment fits the crime, not a slap on the wrist and go do it all again

The punishment dished out should DETER others from comitting similar crime. What really annoys me, is that it appears to me, the criminals who kill, rape or injure get like 12 -15 years in a comfy cell, whereas criminals that steal money of rich people get 20+ years.... like rich people's money is more valuable than folks lives in the eyes of the law? It is like that here in Oz, is that similar in the US?

Once again, my condolences to the people effected by all of this, the victims & their loved ones
