It sounds like you are trying to shift the responsibility away from criminals and on to society.

It sounds like you're trying to shift responsibility from the government and solely onto the individual, even though you admit there is injustice on their part.

I don't think its worth 5 years but it should certainly be punished. If you've lost your right to legally vote, don't fucking vote.

I agree but it's not like she tried to buy a gun or something. The punishment should fit the crime. Voting lost its relevancy when every man and woman was given the right to vote anyways. It used to be restricted to people who have a stake in the game like land owners and business owners. I think people who serve in the military would've been a nice addition but as it stands now, Shaniqua Johnson and her 12 kids outnumber a dignified scholar who does his research instead of wanting more gimmedats for hair extensions.

Point being it's not that big of a deal anymore.
