<p>[QUOTE=&quot;NOS, post: 1396435, member: 2098&quot;]Who said anything about Sharia law? Also, who said anything about retribution in the heat of anger? These criminals would first be prosecuted in a court of law. There would be plenty of time to &quot;cool off&quot; and see things in a clear light. I do not wish to get an &quot;eye for an eye&quot; but the entire purpose of removing the hand of these common thieves is to make an example out of them. If amputations were implemented for these thugs, street crime such as what we have been reading about on here would drop 15% a year for 6 years until such thefts were practically no longer committed.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Perhaps the 8th Amendment can use some amending. The 8th Amendment was passed in 1791, this is now 2012. Times have changed. What we need is a post-constitutional President who is open to thinking outside the box. Actually, we may already have a president like this but this depends on who you talk to. Yes, Hammurabi sounds like he was an interesting fellow. If more people thought like him, crime in this country would be a thing of the past.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
