Fixed punishment is tied to the level of crime you are convicted of. There are many levels of "crime" that this could fall into. I don't think it has to be felony or nothing.
- guard-of-terra 14y agoThese days of zero-tolerance (that is, most days on the planet except mid-twentieth century) it is too easy to just go with the flow and convict of whatever is brought to the eyes of justice. You need luck, good lawyer or both to get fair treatment, especially if the public thinks you're guilty of "something".
- jack-r-abbit 14y agoWell, the answer to zero tolerance is not "ALL tolerance". If those are my only choices and I am absolutely forced to pick one of those two sides, then I'm going to go with the side that doesn't foster an environment of "do as you please... we'll tolerate anything". That is a pretty slippery slope to get on. We have to have some amount of rules and punishment.
- guard-of-terra 14y agoWell then, you are wrong and you are going to rot in hell for that sin as I told.
- jack-r-abbit 14y agowell that escalated quickly. sheesh.
