It's that kind of thinking that gets people thrown in prison for 30 years for non-violent drug crimes.
He went to prison, he didn't just get a fine and community service. I don't think that's a "slap on the wrist."
- bro-stick 11y agoThen you agree with the unfairness. If a black person did this, they would get 30 years. End the War on Drugs and let many more of the mandatory minimum folks out, not just because it's costly, but because it's unjust. But that's a distraction away from the seriousness of the crimes committed and the lack of punishment in this case. So it is indeed, comparatively, a slap on the wrist, compared to people serving much longer sentences for far, far less. Edit: Solitary confinement is one of the worst forms of passive torture imaginable and most state prison systems deliberately abuse it on a routine basis... This should also end.
