Yeah, I’m all for protecting society by restricting her movement. If that’s being called “punishment” then I’m just disagreeing with the term being used. The point of the restriction shouldn’t be to cause her harm.

Ah, then there were agree. I'm never okay with justice that's looking for its pound of flesh.

There can and should be consequences for breaking the social contract, but only to make the best of a bad situation, not to arbitrarily worsen the situation of another.
