"In the big scheme of things, this is a minor offence. If you are angry and upset about it, do some research on how many people get away with rape and murder, even though they are bang on guilty "
Anything is minor in the grand scheme of things. That doesn't make it irrelevant, and it certainly doesn't make those culpable any the less guilty.
