  1. As a commoner, would the fine be $500.00 for everyone who did the same tampering with the mail and an election, or is this a special rate for the trusted politician only.

  2. The fine should have been much greater and penalty for deliberately destroying property should include jail time and community service

    1. @facite non victimarum What he did is wrong…but Jail should be for violent criminals that have committed serious crimes. I wouldn’t mine him getting ..Community Service, because it is a serious offense.

    2. @Tone I didn’t say prison, I said jail. A weekend in jail to think it over — and to send a powerful message — is very effective.

    Immediate disqualification and ban from politics

    Dishonest to the core. He should not be allowed to continue in politics.
