I don't really think so but I do understand it's the mainstream viewpoint and I'm not trying to have that argument right now.
What freaks me out is the tone of all the comments. Just zero understanding that there is a person being talked about. When you "remove them from your community" they go somewhere. Things happen to them. They are harmed, as well.
If you're going to demand that I think you the language used should be less euphemistic.
"I value these goods and the order their transit represents very highly. I believe a person should be harmed to discourage this behavior" is honest and clear.
Stuff like "remove from the community" or "prosecute" hides those details of what will actually be done to the person.
Man, I'm glad to see someone stepping up to police the language in this thread. It's really concerning that people use a word like "prosecute" without adorning it with its full dictionary definition, just in case someone (other than you of course) might get confused.
