Wow, a wiki link, I am impressed. Not…..

I hope your car gets keyed and the individual isn’t charged.

I don't actually have a problem with the diversion program - not on its face, anyway. It includes full restitution. There'll be court costs. Probation costs. Costs for the anger management classes. There'll likely be some litter pick up type **** - some sort of public work cleaning cop cars or parks or something. There'll be a felony guilty plea hanging over his head, with no appeal, if he does anything stupid during the period of diversion. Part of satisfying the diversion is making full restitution in a timely manner - including whatever costs the state has piled on.

He's paying a price. He's making his victims whole. He's taking ownership. We should welcome a justice system which has diversion programs for nonviolent offenses which hold people accountable while giving them an opportunity to keep their citizenship intact.

I don't think much of *** that key cars. But the quality of mercy is not strained. It should be freely given. That is the type of society I want to live in: one that uses diversions of this sort, when the crime is nonviolent. In no manner or form is he "getting away with it."
