214. So if the sentence for murder were 90 days in jail

Sat Apr 4, 2015, 08:14 PM

Apr 2015

the murder rate would stay the same?

No one would say "fuck it, it's worth it?"

Child molestors should be allowed to rape at will, knowing the consequences will be minimal?

You think Anders Breivik is getting a raw deal?

Putting someone in prison absolutely prevents them from committing crimes against society. This guy won't have any victims for years.
