ruling that a prison term of 25 years to life is not too harsh for a small-time thief who shoplifted golf clubs.It's too lenient.

I used to think the 3 Strikes law was way too harsh. Then it dawned on me, "Why don't the felons with two strikes just move to another state????"

If it were me -and- I had two strikes -and- I intended to continue my felonious activity....
I'D MOVE!

Duh!

You're obviously not well suited for a career in crime: way too logical, way too adept at considering matters from others' perspective. Sorry. Have you considered ordinary professions?
