No need to sugar coat it.
Lets start prosecuting!
Nobody ever suggested any such thing, but this is a lovely example of a strawman argument, a logical fallacy at odds with facts and reason all at once. The entire post is also a fine ostensive definition of "pathetic."
Ignorance and a lack of critical thinking form a dangerous 1-2 punch. Educate yourself about civics, criminology, and logic--starting, perhaps, with broken window theory.
Finally, if you choose to cast stones, have the courage of your convictions: don't throw them from behind the "Anonymous" wall.
