Amnesty for Property Crime
We must have amnesty now! People cannot be illegal! The FBI reports that there were over 7 MILLION property crimes committed last year. We cannot simply lock these people up, there's too many of them. And, as McCain says, if we try and punish them all, there will be riots in the streets like France! So the only solution is to completely forgive them of all their wrongdoing because doing anything else would be mean.
There were also over 500,000 robberies last year. Surely you right-wing wackos aren't suggesting we punish all those people? Where would we find the jail space for them all? How would that be fair? And that's only part of over 1.2 million violent crimes. We cannot tell these people that they're criminals when they're only trying to put food on their tables. Johnny Lightning may have accepted money for murdering Billy, but without that money, Johnny's family would have had no food. Surely you cannot condemn Johnny for just trying to do the work that no one else will do? We must immediately develop, with a bipartisan Senate, a comprehensive plan to enable all these wonderful, perfect people who happen to have done something that's not approved of (like rape) a way to a normal life. We need to give them more because we're just not giving enough yet. And we cannot, under any circumstances, punish them because they're just doing the jobs (like arson) that no one else will do.

How can they prosecute property crimes when they are guilty of the same things?

I always enjoy Thomas Sowell's articles.

I LOVE Sowell's writings:
" Some of the painful consequences of various "liberations" that began in the 1960s have included the disintegration of families, skyrocketing crime rates, falling test scores in school, and record-breaking rates of teenage suicide.
A long downward trend in teenage pregnancy and venereal diseases sharply reversed during the 1960s, starting a new trend of escalating teenage pregnancy and venereal diseases, climaxed later by the AIDS epidemic."
So, SO true.
