Some of them - not all. Just look at all those drug-related laws.
- wisty 15y agoDrugs still hurt people. DOSing a library doesn't. Obviously that depends on which drugs and how many, and maybe the laws are a little "one-size-fits-all" here.
- moonlighter 15y agoIt is just me, or does a 35 year old prison term sound CRAZY? Never mind the proposed monetary fine... the punishment just doesn't seem to fit the crime. It's outrageous. To put things into perspective... - Swartz, 24, faces 35 years in prison and a $1 million fine under the indictment. - Anders Breivik killed at least 76 people, and the maximum punishment under Norwegian law is 21 years (albeit with the option to extend it for 5 years each after that). Who committed the bigger and more serious crime here??
- smallblacksun 15y agoIts a false comparison due to different legal systems. In the US Breivik would be facing multiple life sentences or the death penalty.
