Nation of laws, justice, etc.
You advocate for a “slippery slope.”
The punishment dished out to this self-important pile of excrement has to serve as a deterrant to others.
.
The fact of the matter is that Jail does not serve as a deterrent, which is why states now have 3 strikes laws. Because the previous two times of being convicted did not deter them, and doesn’t deter others, so they lock them up indefinitely.
P.S. I never advocated for a nation without laws or justice. Jail and fines have become a “One size fits all” “justice” system that isn’t working. The punishment MUST fit the crime, or people don’t learn. If you’re raised a child, it’s akin to a spanking for evrything they’ve done wrong, it doesn’t work on children either. They just go where you can’t see them and do it more. And sadly, sometimes, they blow your head off in the night too. It simply doesn’t work.
