Yeah, we all want murderers, rapists, armed robbers, pickpockets, etc.
locked up for life. (Pardon me, just indulging in the spirit of
exaggeration that seems to be the vogue in net.women these days.)

Somebody even wanted (very understandably, under the circumstances) to lock
up somebody for a long time for saying rude things to her.

Well, people, put your money where your mouth is. It costs a hell of a lot
of money to do all that. Taxes and bond issues for new prisons get voted
down regularly (at least in this part of the country). What's wrong with
this picture?
