Many years ago, When ‘West Of Old Miss’, was a very adventurous area.
Their were people, who stole horses.
Some towns, areas, territories, when catching them red handed, Hung them forthwith.
Some towns, areas, territories, when catching them red handed, Put them in a jail, Waited for a Territorial Judge Had a trial with the towns leading people, who were progressive members as jurors. And maybe got a year in jail.
Which place do you think had less horses stolen ?
Fast forward to today. Punish people for a crime. Don’t punish a person for a crime.
Which one will continue to do that crime ?
