I am all for punishing criminals, but 15 years for burglary? I thought that long of a sentence was reserved for armed robbery and other violent crimes. Yikes. Next thing you know, you will be doing serious time for speeding.

He was actually stopped for Jaywalking, but was arrested for drug charges, in addition to others.

Well I would consider the B&E of someone’s home a violent crime .. as they do (or did) in Florida.
If you are busting into someone’s home .. there is the potential of confrontation which means .. as the criminal you are willing to hurt or kill any occupants that may be inside .. as opposed to, let’s say a closed place of business!
FL isn't friendly to repeat offenders either.
We get really, really mad if the perp had a gun, whether he used it, flashed it, or just kept it in his pocket.
Did you forget your sarcasm tag?
Personally, it would not bother my in the least if he was put away for 30 years. This isn't this guys first time at the rodeo
Get really hard time for committing felonies and there will be a LOT less of them.
From the mention that he was a convicted felon, I’m inferring that he has prior convictions. Repeat offenders are going to repeat.
