Yup. Everything being made a team game by some folks is insanity, and obviously there are examples of it all over the place. The "my team lost, your team won" sentiment talking about a possible law and hypothetical situations where it may be applied takes impressive dedication to imagine yourself on a team in the first place.
Nobody seems to be arguing for lenience shown towards real offenders, so the faux outrage directed at putting some thought into a law vs going with the purely emotional reaction is ridiculous. Kudos to all of you who have the patience to keep trying to explain it though, I have sincerely become too cynical to do it on a public forum.
