It is wildly harmful and an escalation of monstrous practices to look at one or several unjust actions and/or sentences and declare that those who do worse than the person who was dealt out such a retribution should receive an even longer sentence.
If someone gets 10 years for smoking weed, the solution is not to put someone in prison for 20 years for punching someone.
- insane_dreamer 2y agoI wasn't implying that either Ulbricht or Madoff's sentences were unjust.
- cbsmith 2y agoOn the same principle, noting that someone who punched someone got one day in jail is not a good justification for why someone shouldn't get two days in jail for smoking weed.
- johnnyanmac 2y agoI know this is all semantics, but my State made weed legal a while ago. So the justification for smoking weed -> Jail is a whole lot higher.
- cbsmith 2y agoIt's not all semantics. You are providing an entirely different justification for why someone shouldn't get two days in jail for smoking weed.
- johnnyanmac 2y agoI imagine "because it's not illegal" is semantics because I know that that's not a law on every state nor country.
