Just want to add to this article :

Both were fined £145, to be deducted from their benefits.

I'm amazed they found that many items they actually liked enough to steal from TK Maxx.

Hardly a deterrent, and you'd get a similar sentence for beating someone to a pulp. The law is still too soft on criminals whether against property or person.

Unfortunately correct, what needs to happen is society needs to reject them, make them outcasts. Make them wear something that identifies them as an outcast, and let us treat them like the dirt that they are.

If they dont want to live by our lows, why should they be protected by them
