Are you honestly saying Rubashkin was less of a career criminal than someone who got caught with an oz of pot a couple of times, and maybe tried to sell it? Convicted or not, Rubashkin was running an operation with scores of labor and immigration problems for years.
I have literally nothing at stake but to point out a hypocrisy that I'm seeing that anyone who's a goy and was sentenced to life in prison is a "career criminal" but if its a Yid then its antisemitism. At least people should acknowledge that there is widespread problem in the judicial system and Rubashkin is one of many victim.
"someone who got caught with an oz of pot a couple of times, and maybe tried to sell it" Right. They only got caught a few times. For every time they didnt get caught...They're career criminals. How many times does one have to get caught to be considered a career criminal? 10? 20? 100?
Life in prison because of three-strikes laws is abominable. But you have to draw the line somewhere. Where do you draw it? That is the struggle each state legislature has to deal with. The sentencing guidelines in NY, which does not have a three strikes law gets Draconian for multiple offenses. If someone was caught selling x amount of drugs multiple times they can get indeterminate sentences such as 6 to Life. Is that wrong?
