In the US, we are too easy on criminals. If we had an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth kind of government, these problems wouldn't continue to happen. Yet, our prisons increasingly become overcrowded due to the lax in laws of our country. If every time a person committed a murder and they were found guilty of it, and then put to death because of it, we would not be in this situation. If every time a person got caught stealing and they had a hand cut off, we would not be in this situation. The US is too easy on criminals!!! Put them in prison where the tax payers fund them for years and years until they either die or finally get released. I am and always have been for the eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth kind of policy/law. Unfortunately, I doubt I will ever see it before I'm dead and in the ground.
