Which of itself still wouldn’t get a life prison term, nor would stealing that car. Redneck’s stumpwater sense says a 3-strikes thang, and this paper is likely juxtaposing the penalty to the theft for sensation’s sake by the usual knee jerk crowd. At least I’d want to see that ruled out before raising eyebrows TOO high here, and if it really is something out of proportion, never fear, our loyal liberals will make sure we know it!

Heaven forefend! Our media would never engage in sensationalism for the sake of selling some advertisement!
