This "person" in the same comment claims property damage to small business is such a tragedy and the death penalty should be used for petty crime.
I don't think their "morals" are worth understanding in the slightest.
These statements display a fundamental ignorance of morality, the role of criminal justice systems, research, the role of the state, the real current systems in place. To even begin a conversation with this person would require several sources demonstrating how their premises are all wrong and through experience this person will not engage in any of these sources.
I'm also positive dishing out the death penalty for petty theft would reduce crime in the long run.
Stop using the end to justify the means. This isn't moral and isn't right.
