I’m sorry but a maximum of only four years for this crime? Honestly I just think some folks are so fucked you really do have to lock them up and throw away the key, if nothing else but for the safety of society.
someone’s gonna reply saying stricter sentences don’t work for youth crime. That investment in public health services and early prevention are far more effective.
I’m going to be downvoted for what I’m about to say here but I don’t give a fuck: Rehabilitation is a joke we tell ourselves to sleep at night whilst more people get killed.
I knew someone who was killed by an asshole who had previously been charged with violent sexual crimes who had no business being released and yet somehow made parole. He shouldn’t have made parole, we should have killed him (or at the very least locked him in the deepest darkest hole ever).
How can I say such a horrible thing? Because that’s exactly what happened. The fucker attacked a police office after the murder and was shot and killed. He committed a violent sexual crime, we let him out he did the same again before someone finally did what we should have done in the first place. As a society we failed the victims. Both the first, the second and the police officer that was attacked.
Judges make calls as if we can rehabilitate people. But we lack the infrastructure or investment to actually do that. Someone’s gonna tell me “But TinyBreak, that’s callous! Think of the human life”. To that I say: I am. I’m thinking of the victims. You attack someone your no longer human.
Either we get serious about rehabilitation (never gonna happen) or we get serious about punishment. You want it both ways? get comfortable with stories like this.
Sorry, rant over. I just… have a lot of feelings about this. The world was a better place with the victim I knew in it.
Disgusting. Brutally kill someone, and get a slap on the wrist. I bet those kids were laughing and fist bumping as they drove away. I just feel so deeply hopeless and depressed when I see stuff like this. Some people are pieces of shit, and that includes the judge.

I’m a bleeding heart leftie for the most part, but shit like this makes my blood boil.
Age should play no part when sentencing in such an obvious case.
Cannot imagine what the victim’s parents are going through

Serious personality disorders like psychopathy can’t be rehabilitated. Ever.
I would not be against evaluations before sentencing.
You dont accidentally violently rape someone either.
