Yeah, that's not really what happened.

You are missing the point of the argument. Prison is supposed to be for rehabilitation anyway; except in extreme circumstances. This type of law and sentence only exists to feed the for-profit prison system.

Most importantly! Why the fuck are common thieves being put in prison for life when the Boeing execs — whose premeditated fraud directly killed of hundreds of people — are chilling with the plutocracy on their 3rd yacht?

I mean they're being put away for shooting at the cops and robbing people.

But your point about the execs stands.

This case does seem pretty open and shut tbf.
