Everyone is a Criminal?

I pretty much agree with Michelle Alexander about being a criminal then again I don’t. She said that everyone is a criminal. I understand that we all stole something a day in our life maybe when we were little and our parents didn’t buy us anything and we decided to take it ourselves. But what does she call the people that has raped someone, child abuse, or kidnapping. The people that kilt someone or maybe a couple of people at that, what are they considered as? Criminal’s… right? So I’m a little confused about what does she really mean? What does she call the real criminals that have life in jail, or that has the death penalty? Stealing is really not a real crime unless it is armed robbery. Also she said that most criminals couldn’t get jobs or welfare. Well I a friend of mines brother is a criminal, he is on welfare and has a good job. He has kids to take care of his kids and his girl friend. He is responsible now and is doing a good job. Not all criminals are bad and don’t get a job when they get out of jail. Criminals are not all bad and everyone is not actually a criminal…except for minor things!!!
