Three strikes, you’re out. He knew the stakes going in and did it anyway. Let him rot

I think, considering that there are so many little laws on the books that any one of us now could potentially run afoul of the three strikes law, that’s a very stupid thing to say and I hope that you don’t end up facing the prospect of one of your children being in this position.

Secondly, real justice does not mean bringing punishment to a level where nobody dares commit a crime, for that is an impossible task and it certainly is unbiblical. Real injustice involves giving out retribution in proportion to the crime done.

Third, it’s the argument that, for the safety of the community draconian laws need to exist, the Constitution is being rendered null and void.

Because the crime is in proportion for the rest of your life in jail. Ridiculous.

So if they make being conservative or being Christian illegal, you will be all for jailing them, “because they knew the stakes?”

How many times to you vote for your imperial lord Obama?

Don’t do the crime(s), if you can’t do the time.
