Should the run away bride have to repay costs incurred during the search for her?
Yeah, not in the millions, just looked it up on Cnn.com. It is somewhere between 40,000 to 60,000 dollars for the overtime and crew pay that were involved in her rescue. That is definetly within her capability and will allow her to get on with her life but while making her realize what she did was wrong.Squawker said:I doubt it would be in the millions. The Judge usually decides what amount of retribution is to be made. It should be enough to sting a bit.

Now, onto whether she should be thrown in jail. The principle of this is...she hurt us, we hurt her. But is that really going to help her in the long run, or is it just going to be punishment, plain and simple? The point of the corrections system, note the name, is to provide those released with a new lease on life so to speak, going from bad to better. But just doing time won't help her in my opinion. What she needs is serious mental help and marriage counciling (sp?). Just throwing her in jail won't help her but only satisfy our need for vengeance.

That shows hannity saying that, and stewart mocking the media for this fiasco.
Trust me I know, I was as shocked as you.Pacridge said:I saw Hannity say it more then once. Trust me I'm the last guy to be praising Sean Hannity. But he was absolutely right about this one. And for once he wasn't calling for anyone's head on stick. Like I said credit where credits due.
