Good thing she didn't commit a really serious crime, like keeping a library book a day overdue or illegally downloading music. :roll:

Seriously, I'll bet they wouldn't have given such a stiff sentence if the critic was a man. :x

Denouncing rampant crime and abuse is offensive. That'll teach her!

Yeah, I guess they'd have been less stiff down there.
