- Nextgrid 3y agoHow much would that get someone on the street committing the same crimes? Maybe probation or a couple years of jail at most? That's what I'm comparing it to. If we were routinely jailing people that had trouble controlling their emotions and had propensity for violent outbursts we'd have a lot more people in jail, so I don't believe this alleged violence was really what got him this sentence. Similarly, how much would someone get for scamming/hacking/social engineering a small company or individual? Well that one is easy to answer: nothing - this behavior has effectively been decriminalized in the UK. So neither his crimes add up to such a sentence.
- throwaway743 3y agoHow they define "violent", "injury", and "property damage" is very much important though. It could be as light as knocking a mug off a desk and breaking it or them accidentally tripping someone and causing them to get a minor bruise, or it could be to the extreme of assaulting someone or arson. Curious to know what their definitions and their examples of this behavior are regarding this person.
