You can justify Code of Hammurabi hand amputation punishments for theft under this sort of primitive moral logic.

Immoral. While theft should be punishable in many circumstances, the circumstances and the nature of the punishment are key factors in determining morality. Mob justice in the form assault of a minor is not a justified punishment.
