It Depends On What The Meaning Of The Word "Stealing" Is

A judge handed down the maximum sentence allowed by law Wednesday to three Kenner residents convicted last month of looting a Metairie grocery store in the days after Hurricane Katrina.

Coralnelle Little, 36, Rhonda McGowen, 42, and Paul C. Pearson, 36, received 15-year sentences from Judge Hans Liljeberg of the 24th Judicial District Court, who said he wanted to send a message to looters that the crime would not be tolerated.

Steal elections or billions of dollars? Kill untold thousands for oil? Pop the champagne corks! Swipe some booze? OMG, major crime, off to prison.

How long will the facade be maintained that there is a justice sytem in the US?
