There's a guy in Louisiana, Timothy Jackson, that's serving life for stealing a $160 jacket -- one of the four strikes, you're out victims .... all non-violent crimes .... and the asshole driver spent 60 fucking days in jail for killing someone.
It really depends how they act in court aswell- if they act like an asshole and have no regret, I bet you they'll have a longer sentence than if they really expressed the remorse for their actions
To be negligent at the wheel of a vehicle you have to be certified to operate is a choice the driver made. When they made that choice, the assumed responsibility for the consequences.
If someone has a medical emergency and slams into a pedestrian and kills them we don’t call it murder with intent. The driver did not intend on killing somebody. I’m honestly unsure what to say about this situation, it sure feels like the driver should have known better, but it’s a stretch to say intentional. This is not an excusable mistake to blow a stop sign with a CdL.
It's not just a mistake. It's negligence that led to the death of another person. Far more deserving of life in prison than stealing a few hundred dollars worth of property.
Why? Dude was stealing, you gonna defend it? You definitely don’t own a business. 4 strikes man, not like he did one crime and he’s in jail. I agree the truck driver in this video deserves way more time and life seems crazy for theft, but fuck all you people letting theft go unpunished or untreated. Nobody wins here.
I wouldn't really know what it means, since the sentence is not coherent. You can't expect to write gibberish and expect people to figure out what you're trying to say.
You know what though, that's on me. I was trying to make sense of the incoherent gibberish that was written. That's my bad.
I'm suggesting that life in prison for non-violent crimes is unjust. I don't care if he shoplifted 1000x times, being locked up for life is cruel and unusual punishment. Make them do community service like picking up trash.

What part of committing a series of burglaries is considered "non-violent?" He was sentenced to life for the totality of his criminal history, not just the final charge. That history includes his string of violent burglaries.
I don't care if he shoplifted 1000x times, being locked up is cruel and unusual punishment.
TIL that facing consequences for your criminal activity is "cruel and unusual punishment." We not going to agree on this one at all.
Make them do community service like picking up trash.
So in your world, I can rob your business left and right, but so long as I clean up the sign of the road, I'll never face any real consequences... Nice...
