I agree, a Judge has to be the one making the decision on 'justice'. Whether the sentencing guidelines are right, fair and/or just, is another thing.The Thief should have sent to Jail for 5 years or much more strict punishment as in Middle East but that should be decided by Judge...but if the employer has humiliated him and he tried to do justice himself he should be fined as well.
The whole problem is the legal system is very soft and it is soft because this nation cannot afford to support the cost for keeping people under control....
As to the point regarding our legal system being, 'soft and it is soft because this nation cannot afford to support the cost for keeping people under control....' Locking someone in a cell and poking some food and water through everyday can't be that expensive surely...? Ah! but that's not what we do is it? We allow prisoners to enjoy the life they lead inside prison... sports, tv, games, education etc etc and it's ALL free! It comes to something when you can commit a crime, get sent down for 3/4 years and do a degree for nowt while you're in there! Justice...? aye right!
