The sentences are too light for the courts to bother with, thats the problem. The real rationale for those light sentences-the prisons are full. Why are they full in most countries? Short answer-drug related offences.

If more energy was spent on chasing perps who hurt people and less on dopers who hurt themselves we'd all be a lot better off!

Can someone tell me what doxxing actually is, before I get worked up over it?

Listing stuff like real name, real address, real phone number online.
That said, I've stopped trying to anticipate what people around here want a while ago, I've found it makes things smoother.
For I was an hungred, and ye told me to pull myself up by my bootstraps: I was thirsty, and ye demanded payment for the privilege of thine urine: I was a stranger, and ye deported me: naked, and ye arrested me for indecency.

That is the first step. The next step is a horde of trolls making prank calls and ordering stuff on the internet. Oh, and sending death threats to the address, calling at all hours to make death threats, making death threats at the job, making up horrible lies and spreading them to the bosses of the victim and similar "pranks."

People have committed suicide after being doxxed...
No matter what happens, no matter what my last words may end up being, I want everyone to claim that they were:
"If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine."
Aww, you guys rock. :)  I feel the love... and the pitchforks and torches.  Tingly!

The big reason I disapprove of doxxing poeple who send rape threats is the potential for the sender to be sent rape and death threats.
A better solution is always to either report them to the cops, tell the persons parents about it, or tell there employer about it.

Gotcha, thanks. Now I know why so many are being worked up over it. I wouldn't advocate it either.
