Focus on robbers, thugs and murderers not Theros.

They not only used their political status to break the law, but also the religion, temple and robe. What a shame!!!

Therefore, if a Thero commits a crime does he automatically get pardon? What happens if all become priests to get exempted from arrest? Typical Sri Lankan mindset.
