I don't know how you can call the theft of something not exceeding $950.00 anything but a felony.

Not every crime is a felony. My sister shoplifted candy bars when she was 7. Was that a felony? You can go to jail for up to a year for a misdemeanor. A felony is for the most serious of crimes. If armed robbery and shoplifting have almost the same punishments, then you will likely see more armed robberies.

Shoplifting is a crime. Small-time shoplifting (under $100), shouldn't be regarded as a felony.
