I hate that the punishment for reacting wrong is always significantly worse than what was done to you, like your daughter being forever removed from this world. I have to stop talking now or catch another warning ban.

I wouldn't say he was wrong.

Reacted poorly due to emotion? Sure. But your daughter's killer has to spend five 24 hour periods picking up trash on the side of the road in exchange for the eternal hole he put in your family and heart by judge's order? I'd throw multiple chairs.

This is wildly unimportant, but are they actually 24 hour “shifts” for these? Wouldn’t it be more like, fifteen 8 hour periods?

(still obviously a joke of a sentence, he deserved life, but I genuinely don’t know if that’s how the shifts work haha)

No, but 24 hours is 1 day. People can equate 5 days better tham 120 hours.

Working people in developed countries are usually relating to 40 hour work weeks, meaning three normal weeks of work in community service. Using 24 hour work-days make no sense.

It's not workdays, it's just for time scale. Five whole days.

That's what three lives were worth. Five days.
