A disturbing security breach

let's stop identity theft... perhaps tougher penalties for the thieves would reduce the problem instead of slaps on the wrist..... anyone up for a hanging in the town square?

Having been a victim of identity theft, I can tell you all that the expense, negative publicity, shame, harrassment by debt collectors and gut-wrenching stress caused by these dispicable crimminal parasites are but the tip of a very large iceberg which threatened to crush me and my family for almost three years.
I suppose that I am not a good judge of what punishment should be imposed upon these lazy, lower than a snakes belly, sub-humans. I must say however, that they should thank their lucky stars that I am not their judge, although I would volunteer to carry out the sentence.
