Yes, he should just be flogged and then released to go back to work. Why
should he lounge around in Mexican jail at taxpayer expense for 15
years? Flogging is over quickly; furthermore, for the rest of his life
the kid will always be reminded by the scars that crime truly does not pay.

So if he stole from a poor person then would he deserve to be punished?

I hope someone steals something from you today rick.

We learned a lot from this; primarily that it is smart to inquire on
the morning net whether there are any security concerns when arriving
at a new port, and never get so relaxed and casual that you risk
losing something as important as the ship to shore transportation
device!

Sounds a little harsh.


It's a good thing he wasent in Honduras. Back in the 80's I worked
with a Captain that kept his shrimp boat in Honduras. On day he was at
the dock and the federalies just caught a boat load of gun smugglers.
They just lined them up on the dock and put a bullit in the head of
each and everyone of them.

Talk about swift effective justice.

It's all comparative Scott...... they have a boat that they spent their
hard earned money on and were idling at the dock while this poverty stricken
thief is working hard collecting inflatables to sell so he can afford a
sailboat.

I think the USA should adopt the penalty system used in that country.

A local college prof. (my wife had her) set herself on fire here a few weeks
back. She felt guilty after seeing the Passion of Christ movie. She went
to a park, behind some bushes, doused herself with gas, and just as she lit
herself, a school bus drove by. The kids were high enough to see her. They
got counselors for them but I would think that scene will haunt a few of
them for some time, eh?

That is nearly the same penalty as for killing a Kiwi isn't it? I think
they
should have their feet caned and then be released.

Sir Peter Blake's killers had their sentences reduced by a Brazilian court.
The six men convicted of robbing and killing the 53-year-old had their
appeal
heard at the federal court today. The original verdict has been upheld but
an
average of four years has been taken off each sentence. The men now face
between 24 and 32 years in jail.

So you'd advocate a Disparity of Wealth clause in the property
crimes code? Is it ok for me to steal from those with more money
than I have? How much more?

I'll assume you don't really mean that he got fifteen years for
living in poverty. I'll also presume the accused knew, or should
have known, the penalties for his crimes. He made the decision
to commit them in the face of those penalties. Perhaps he should
have moved to Santa Cruz first. They would have fallen all over
themselves in an attempt to *understand* the poor lad.
