There are 10k's-100k's of aging black and brown men in US prison for de facto life for having a joint or being accused of some random crime without having a proper defense. The US has the highest incarceration rate on the planet per capita except for the Seychelles, and this includes all of the unofficial carceral populations of regimes like China, Russia, and DPRK. Some countries consider ~21 years to be "life" because a person may recalibrate, transform, and be rehabilitated in that time frame. America is a punitive, brutal, soulless regime. It has mass shootings because its socio-economic order, fulfillment, and values are third-world, at best.
