Seriously...
If 18 or 22 years of age is too young to be held responsible for poor decisions, then we really need to raise the age for voting, drinking, driving, flying aircraft, etc. They weren't 12 to 14, so young my azz.
Sure it wasn't violent... which is why you give them 1 or 2 years instead of 5-20 years.
If they stole money from you, and you weren't able to feed your kids or make rent... you might think a bit differently. A lot of people live paycheck to paycheck. Losing 500 euros can really hit a family hard and cause undo stress... for a lot longer than 240 hours.
I think the judges have loss touch with what it is like for the majority of people. Those who don't make 300K plus euros per year.
Biting the hand that feeds IT
