 quite correct.  
   I'm more than happy of getting those that commit the violent crimes off the streets, be that into a hospital for 
treatment then jail time, or just jail time....

    The embezzlers will do their time as well when (if) they're caught as well...

Overlooking the fact that the vast majority of violent crimes are committed
by people who don't have functioning brains, either due to lack of proper
education, or self-inflicted stupidification via alcohol or drugs.

The dumb ones rob banks.  The smart ones work at the bank and embezzle.....
