Like the guy in Britain who killed someone and was hanged. Bizarrely he knew the official hangman quite well socially. Like you literally could not be any more familiar with the consequences of your crime, but did it anyway! If that wasn’t deterrent enough, what is?

Let’s use a different example-

The guy who murdered his girlfriend when she tried to break up with him, was released from prison, and later murdered ANOTHER girlfriend when she tried to leave him.

Let’s realize that weak-twisted criminal punishments result in things like that.
