SPAM makes victims... again

I hate spam, but I think it's too much, spam can't compare with sexual assault, robbery, assault, theft, larceny..

Indeed, it is a much less damaging criminal act. I guess they just needed to give an example... or at least they tried to, but it's really hilarious the size of the sentence, except for the two poor spammers that got it....
