Stuff like this is proof that any and all politicians who do not vigorously act to end these kinds of things... all, no exception, are psychopaths or otherwise

Like who the hell of a fucking idiot comes up with these stupid ass laws is beyond me
Just goes to show, if you give people power to ruin peoples lives and torture them with impunity, there is no shortage of "people" willing to fill such a role
And such lack of empathy is basically everywhere in society, though they conglomerate into business leadership roles in higher proportions
- tiku 2y agoProtecting the public is the point of these sentences. What needs to be correct is the support and evaluation incarcerated people get.

- the_gorilla 2y agoDo you think anyone would be willing to bet their life that this guy isn't going to victimize someone else when he gets out? Obviously not. We don't have to gamble with anyone else's life either to see if he's going to keep robbing and assaulting people until his victims are permanently physically or mentally damaged.

- spoonfeeder006 2y agoUh, yeah? I think most people? Including me??? Everyone makes mistakes. If he hasn't damaged anyone beyond repair then he doesn't deserve to have his life ruined beyond repair Its about justice, not fear 6 months is fine unless he hacked someone's arm off or something

- wkat4242 2y agoI don't know. If someone violently robbed me I would be very happy to never see them free again. Especially if they would be very likely to do it again. Even if they didn't do any lasting physical damage, I would never be the same again mentally.

- spoonfeeder006 2y agoYeah, the lingering mental aspect from being robbed is a good point. I personally doubt I would have trauma if someone held a gun to me and asked me for my merchandise, but who knows, I've never actually experienced that irl Body language would probably be a bigger factor in that than the gun though But also, robbery is often driven by trauma or desperation itself Maybe I don't know enough to take an exact stance exactly on the appropriate punishments, but I do feel like the different factors need to be weighed and balanced I'm also actually not allowed to get involved in political stuff though, so yeah I probably should have kept my mouth shut on this from the outset But I will say that justice isn't about my or someone else's wants, its about whats fair for everyone involved, including the one who done the robbery E.g. giving them a chance to demonstrate they can change. If not, then harsher punishments
- the_gorilla 2y ago> I personally doubt I would have trauma if someone held a gun to me and asked me for my merchandise, but who knows, I've never actually experienced that irl You should watch a few robberies where an armed robber popped the clerk after getting the money just because he could. Every armed robbery comes with the implicit threat of being shot, obviously, which is what the gun is for. When you talk about what's "fair" for the robber, it used to just be death. E.g. preventing them from reoffending.
