Okay so now we are all on the same level as criminals.  Raping someone, assulting someone or even murdering someone is a bit more than making a mistake!  A mistake is driving past your exit and getting lost.  A mistake is foggeting your wallet at home it is not making a conscious decision to break the law.  You can live in that reality but most of us who have been victims to crime believe that criminals should suffer for their actions.  I am sorry if you disagree and feel these criminals deserve better treatment than that of their victims.
