The legal system destroys people. It's what they do. The noticeable difference here is how much other people care and how much the person had to lose. How well would you bounce back from a felony conviction and jail time? There was some random teenaged idiot where I grew up that did some stupid miscief to the wrong category of property, and ended up committing suicide too.
