I smell Judge Dredds chin in this.
And the people will ask for it.
Im still trying to figure out the thread title. Are you comparing these to the people that spend 20 years in jail that havent done it.
Or did you just read cracked the other day

I have a question(CAUSE I'M LAZY): was he convicted of all 8 in the same trial and has he ever been convicted before?

I only ask because Colorado has a 3-Strikes Law.

3-Strikes laws and mandatory minimum sentencing is one of the stupidest, most horrendous things about our legal system.

It's why we've got more people in prison, with less reason, than anywhere else in the world.

How could making a completely inflexible set of draconian rules that allow no room for context or actual situation EVER go wrong? I mean, look at what a smashing success the wave of school zero tolerance policies have been!

It's a reference to the thread on the guy who would have reported to prison but never got sent the instructions... for years.

At least I think.

It is. I saw this on my news feed and found it an odd opposite. Then I saw the 98 year sentence and was like wtf XD

His worst crime was naming his son "Justus".

90 more years for him!

Exactly. The fact that we have more prisoners than Russia, and even more prisoners than China, (including political prisoners), who has like a billion more people that we do, is probably an indication that we should reexamine some things.

You want China to beat us in prisoners? Isn't it bad enough they're already beating us in math and science?

Like how we can teach global neighbors to not give in to criminals.

Math and Science aren't important. Justice is.

That's very humerus.

It's especially funny imagining it being spoken by the scrawny Duke Nukem in the avatar.
