>The sentence should should be in proportion to the crime. This sentence clearly is not. Unjust sentencing like unjust laws foster disrespect for the law.<


Word.

[Neo-Luddite]

There has got to be more to this story.

Without excusing the criminal or his career of living off someone else's addiction--of BEING the monkey on someone's back--this is way off base.

Where is the aggrieved (as in injured)citizen in this?

This IS a case of tax evasion. The government didn't get paid it's due. No tax stamp on the grass.

Still, I'm not the government. If a fellow like that moved in next door and set up shop I wouldn't bat an eye if a group of concerned citizens invited him out for a midnight snack in a cornfield for a chat.
