That's disgusting and all, but 15 and 20 years is a little excessive, no? I'm from a country without mass incarceration or private prisons, but you don't need nearly that much for people to learn their lesson
Without any other details, yes, those are absurdly long sentences. Sending a tough message would be like 5 years maybe? Anyone supporting this kind of sentencing deserves a longer prison term than the couple.
15 years for assaulting children seems appropriate.
If you’re an authoritarian fascist lunatic, absolutely.
I was about to say that I don't think their political beliefs should affect their sentencing. But I guess it does point to the likelihood of recurrence, which should affect the sentencing.
I'm glad I'm not a judge. This sort of decision would keep me up at night.
What a wonderful argument, definitely not fash sounding at all.
I just saw your other comment. Lmao it is a new one that you bottom of the barrel worthless dumbfuck fake leftists would call your moral and intellectual superior a fascist for advocating for less prison time.
I hope you mean the people advocating for long prison sentences for them because if not, you’re the dumbest human being alive.
I suspect you are still a child yourself, but if you had children, visualize someone waving a gun in their face and threatening to kill them.
You're lying to someone, or else you are too young to really understand what has taken place here.
I love your argument of “you’re a child” instead of the fact that your superior is correct and you are a bottom of the barrel moron.
