Im just blown away by everyone acting as judgr jury and executioner without any of the facts. If the guy was drunk, you lock him up and throw away the key? If he was mentally unstable do you lock him up and throw away the key? If he was high om drugs do you lock him up and throw away the key?
Thats why everyone that yells prison reform and sentencing reform are just a bunch of liars. Until you can humanize "criminals" youre all blowing hot air. There are very few people who wake up in the morning and say...hmmm, let me run over a cop today. There are psychopaths and sociopaths. But the majority of people who commit stupid crimes are neither.
Try this on for size. A guy I met at rikers who was drinking with his wife and mother blacks out. When he comes too, he finds his mother fell and hit her head and is dead. He chopped her up out of shear panic. He is charged with murder even though they cant prove it. What does he get? Is he a psychopath?
