So.. you're comparing the murder of a human being to being conned out of
$24.50? Murder should definitely be punished, but I'm not the Sheriff's
department and I'm not the justice department and I don't think you are
either. So it isn't our job to prosecute for murder.

But it *isn't* your responsibility to dole out punishments. Reporting it
is fine and good, but it isn't up to you to prosecute for it. You're a
high school kid, like me and Jason and most of the other people on this
list. I understand that you're upset about this. It's enough to get two
good CDs. It's enough to do a lot of things. But is it worth earning for
yourself a reputation of being a vengeful and hatred-filled person?
