Dear Editor,
Should thieves be treated differently according to their crimes? I don’t understand why state senators always seem to pass laws that help the rich get richer instead of helping those who really need help. The FBI says that this year, more than 20,000 people in this city will have their cars broken into or stolen. They will suffer thousands of dollars in damages, not to mention mental anguish and the loss of items that hold sentimental value.
When law enforcement officers from across the state lobbied behind a bill to make these kinds of break-ins a felony, the lawmakers couldn’t see past how much it might cost to lock the criminals up.
Then the Senate turns around and approves a bill that fights illegal copying of CDs and DVDS. Although both these crimes are wrong, which one hurts the average person more? Whom are our state congress people looking out for?
Sincerely,
Bettina Suleman
