I'm not arguing that he doesn't deserve this treatment, but it is hardly a cakewalk as has been suggested here. Seems to me that his sentence matches entirely what a jail term would cause in his life, without the burden to the taxpayer nor the agony it creates amongst the masses.
If you took the time to read the news story comprehensively then scrolled down the page to the comments from Facebook you would have seen that the conversation went immediately to a race-based tirade when this guy is just a common (Caucasian) thief.

"Just a common Caucasian thief" requires as much prosecution as the little girl from a residential school did for pointing out that being impregnated by the Bishop is wrong. No justice in todays system of law.
