The problem extends far beyond petty theft at a CVS, it's the complete lack of respect for law and order.  I'll lock him up for as long as it takes him to understand that.  

Don't you understand the difference between one individual taking a $3 item and an organized mob charging in, ransacking and looting?  If store employees or customers are assaulted during the theft, doesn't that raise the stakes dramatically?  How would you feel if your wife and kids were in the store, caught in the middle, when it happened?

I'll give him a job in prison before he gets out.  No work, no privileges.
