Never, in the history of history itself, has a judge looked down at the prisoner in the dock and declared "I sentence you to Concrete Mailbox". Why not? Because Concrete Mailbox is not a punishment, you factory-defective lawn gnome. It's a mailbox. Made from concrete. If you hurt yourself with it because you can't be bothered to learn the laws of physics in your own damn universe, that is a you problem. I am not obligated to suffer harm in order to protect you from a stupid action you might someday take. Of course, what you are really doing is engaging in the favorite marxist pastime of "pretending not to understand things". What you are pretending not to understand is the difference between consequences and punishment. For example, if you are a lazy marxist, and you won't work or do anything for anyone else, you'll be broke. This is not a conspiracy to deprive you of stuff. It is simply the consequence of you being selfish. You know this. But you pretend not to because you hope that if you confuse the issue enough, you can get suggestible people to give you free stuff. And in this case, you want to protect vandals at the expense of people who own mailboxes, because you are more likely to vandalize a mailbox than to own one, therefore you fail the Mailbox Test by sympathizing with the vandal.
