Convicted GOPer Tried To Legislate Himself Out Of Prison | Talking Points Memo

You’d think Trump would have passed some prison reform legislation since so many of his friends are ending up there. I guess he just didn’t care about them.

Yeah - with this Judge, it is likely we might see the other end of the system and Rittenhouse gets sentenced to 500 hours community service speaking at Proud Boys rallies

There’s no cut if that plastic is attached to a checking account and it’s a debit card. If you have the money in the bank, get yourself a damned debit card. Sheesh.

I’m not in the slammer.

And I presume all of my calls are being recorded by somebody.

I totally disagree and I think you’ve got an invalid premise going on there. You might as well refuse an antibiotic you need to live because you’re concerned about antibiotics being overprescribed. You can think about the general and the particular differently. That punk is a white-power-motivated murdering vigilante. It doesn’t get much worse. What would you suggest?

He left the house with the intent of hunting humans. And killed two of them, maiming another.

20 years in the electric chair would be a fair outcome.

Geez and Rabbi Getz’s never thought that God told Solomon to bury the Ark deep so that in the future when the Arabs gain control of that part of the Mount that the God of the Jews was really the foundation on which the Arab Mosque is standing? (snark, or it it)

I’d go with the European model, where “life” sentences are generally 15 years. Extensions are possible under certain circumstances, so the worst terrorists do actual face life behind bars, but in general, the focus is on reform of the individual.

When you throw a life sentence at someone, there’s no hope for them for reforming and ever being a productive member of society.

Prisons are a reflection of the society they exist in. American punishments and the lengths of them make it more humane to just shoot them than let them languish for decades behind bars with no hope of ever getting out.

10-18 years in jail. What Sweden uses unless you are a mass murderer or serial killer or cop killer. And where anyone under 18 can’t be sentenced to life.

Freedom of speech to lie about it? Sure. No US Marshals there in the first place

Hawley=always directed by his PR advisors. It would be fascinating if someone could somehow instigate a feud between Cruz and Hawley.
