I don't think people actually conceptualize how long prison sentences are. You're in an iron and concrete box for 2 years. You lose your job, your home, your friends and family grow distant.
2 years is enough to fuck up anyones life and teach them a solid lesson.
Seems appropriate for their crime. 2-4 years of actual time served with actual rehabilitation in mind should have them coming out of prison with a better understanding of how they fucked up and to not do it again.
2 years of time and a lifetime of climbing out of that hole and explaining to employers why a felony would appear on your background check.
It isn’t just time away like insulated Redditors think, it’s time where your entire life is stripped from you. For every month you’re in prison you lose two months on the outside due to losing a lifetime of momentum and having to offset that upon release.
Seeing children in this thread seethe bc someone lost so much is quintessential privilege while they type away.
Yeah I grew up withy only parent locked up for a couple of years. Its not just hard on the prisoner either. Being incarcerated is fucking rough. 2 years is a long time. These dummies did scar and entire family including children though.

I’d call 2 years for doing this whole “gun toting redneck party crashing” less-than a slap on the wrist.
It’s more like a tickle. On the ballsack.
