Hyperbole isn't useful either.

This was not literal starvation. Shitty, underhanded, and illegal, but not starvation. If you're going to insist on exaggerating the issue, please don't bother me.

I'll say it again, it doesn't matter what the non violent crime is, you make the justice about fixing what they did. I'm not sure where in the thread I said it, but I suggested a decade of community service working in the very program stolen from, under heavy supervision.
