The "Seinfeld" gang did not deserve jail

"Oh yes they did:Jerry: Urinating in public, mugging (for a loaf of marble rye), and an overdue library book. "It would only be a break of law if he didn't pay the fine, which I'm sure he did because no where in the show after that season did that haunt him again. The marble rye incident, technically that would be more like shoplifting than something serious, because, it's not like he raped or got violent with her, he just took it from her. And the overdue library book: he paid it. It was overdue, but he paid the entire, large amount back. And it never even came up until KKK Hoyt made it an issue. "George: Parking in a handicap spot, pretending to be someone else to get a limo ride. "As for the first one, it was only Kramer giving a used wheelchair that was used against them in court, not the handicaped parking, so that doesn't count. The other case, the limo, wasn't mentioned either, so it doesn't count. "Kramer: Cockfighting, mail fraud, smoking cuban cigars"Actually Marcelino was the one responsible for the cockfighting; I don't remember Kramer ever being accused of mail fraud; smoking Cuban cigars is not illegal. ""Elaine: Revealing the Soup Nazi's private recipes, causing him to go out of business. "This one is a tough one. It's messed up, but hey, it's not illegal. If anything this is more a case that would make it on "Judge Judy" than a real case of crime. Elaine didn't technically cause of crime. She screwed the Soup Nazi, legally. "Overall, they were just childish, goofy characters. "In saying that, you agree with me. In a court of law this would not hold up to go against them, aside from the little Jim Crow, elitist town of Massachusetts that this trial was set. Now I will say all the times Newman, who should have been the one tried, has tried to harm Jerry and other characters:"The Old Man" -- Newman and Kramer were trying to get money for used records. When the store owner didn't accept it the first time, they went to try to find better records. When it didn't cut it for the owner the second time, Newman starts to go Jim Crow on the owner, harassing him, then he gets violent with him. That's more serious than anything Jerry and the gang did. "The Label Maker" -- Newman makes a threat of blackmail against Tim Whatley: "I just hope Tim Whatley's electric bills don't suddenly get lost in the mail, or it could be lights for him. " And just laughs about it. How a vicious and heinous scam like this could not get someone at least 10 to 15 years in prison is beyond me. In this same episode, we see a very evil side of Newman, a type of evil not shown on TV since the days of segregation, we his robes and hoods as well, if you know what I mean. Here while playing a game of conquer the world, he makes snearing remarks about Ukranians. Surely you're gonna say that, it's not a hate crime to say racist remarks. True. However (and I do agree that they should have had a minor punishment of 1 month in jail for breaking the good samaritan law), if you're gonna use their remark about the fat guy, I can use this one about Newman as well. "The Engagement" -- Newman attempts to kidnap a dog. "The Package" -- Jerry is not satsified with his stereo, so he breaks it (again, last time I checked that's not illegal). So he tries to frame Jerry for doing it, when he clearly did nothign wrong. Here I've got four serious cases which altogether should have given Newman at least 20 - 25 years in prison.
