13131302, 3 strikes law is unconscionable Posted by handle, Thu Mar-02-17 03:55 PM
>and that reduced because it was a LIFE sentence initially (ya >know, that pesky 3 strikes rule in Cali).
That rule is so unfuckingly STUPID and Draconian I can not believe it was upheld by the supreme court.
Simple minded fucking idiots latched on "If you get 3 strikes in baseball you are out, so why not do that with crime?? - and instead of the stakes being a trophy the stakes are someone's life?"
I get it - it probably will never be changed - UNLESS - hear me out.. unless we get Major League Baseball to change the rule to 4 strikes and you're out.
>Maaaaaaaaaaaan, throw them under the prison. Until these >idiots figure out the legal system needs reform and should >exercise more nuance with sentencing, they should fall under >the same rules we do.
They do - and they are, but I think the rules should allow flexibility and then to reevaluate everyone sentence under the old system. And do it in a first in/first reviewed manner - these guys can wait in line.
No one should get life in prison for stealing perfume, or jeans, or slapping someone.
Question: Is this why The Hamburglar isn't in those commercials anymore? Is he in pelican Bay in general Population just trying to survive?
