> Also, to be clear, are you sympathetic to the incarceration of drug dealers and thieves but not sympathetic to the incarceration of someone who accidentally killed someone in an auto-pedestrian accident? Didn't see this because you added it in an edit. I think we should generally avoid prison time as much as possible, for all of these cases. I just get frustrated when I often seem to see people defending people with similar social status to themselves, but having apparently no sympathy for people of different social circumstances. Clearly the consensus on HN is not entirely the same way, as some of the other replies to my comment show. I am sorry for having assumed intentions that you don't have, though, more trying to comment on a general trend I've observed.
