SInce I asked first, can I ask for an answer first? Do you see that that isn't my point, or my question? My question is: the penalty society exacted is X, the perp pays X -- is it your place, my place, to demand more of him, or to hold his bill unpaid and hound him for it, absent further crimes? If here, then in how many places? And what is the difference between that and vigilantism, mob rule, or anarchy?

If we don't like the penalty, we can change laws and judges. Should we persecute those who paid what they were told to pay?
