Mac, can you explain how restitution works? So here's this kid with no money and he blows my arm off with a pipe bomb. We somehow establish a monetary value for my arm and he's supposed to pay up?

How? What does he do? Write a book like "My Life As A Moronic Asshole?" This assumes we can do as the insurance companies do and put a value on my arm. Maybe I'm dead instead.......How much then? And where does it come from? Or is restitution repairing mailboxes for the next 25 years or something?

What's the deal?
