I think you're just straight-up missing everything. If he's locked up for 3 years, he physically couldn't do something like this for... 3 years. I'd rather have him commit a crime once every 3 years over once every 3 months.
Though you're right, I do wish they could just give bozos like this life plus cancer. Whatever keeps violent criminals off the street the longest is best.

Well, you finally said the quiet part out loud, so I’ll give you credit for that.

What's the quiet part? Keeping violent criminals, especially repeat ones, out of society for as long as possible?

The quiet part is that you support mass incarceration

I said that I support life for a person who's committed arson, aggravated assault, and broken into college student's homes and robbed them at gunpoint. I also said that we should keep repeat violent criminals out of society for as long as possible. What are you talking about?
