Judges who didn't give appropriate sentences are terrible. But we found out that there are actually no substitutes for having good judges. Because mandatory minimums and three strikes don't always work perfectly.
I've seen people get more prison time for simply possessing high capacity magazines than multiple counts of pedophilia. Should someone be jailed for pretending a chicken mcnugget is a gun, because some "zero tolerance" system says that they should?
Can you honestly tell me that having a firearm magazine that the government doesn't like is worst than pedophilia?
People don't spend life in prison for murder or child molestation. So, do I think it's fair that someone should be punished more severely for stealing a piece of pizza? No, I don't. Our justice system demands the punishment fit the crime. And people that don't agree with that, don't like our justice system.
Do you really think this is about stealing a piece of pizza?
That conjures up images of a little kid sneaking up to a counter and swiping a slice while the manager’s back was turned.
As I have read, the guy assaulted a minor and took his pizza. Totally different thing. That’s like saying a guy went to jail for a parking ticket he got while robbing a bank.
