Your point would be valid if it was about possessing drugs or some other non-violent crime instead of attempted murder.

He planned on torturing them first. I think it's the whole planning and then following through on it aspect that got him life.

stop saying "prison should exist because of this one case"

there will always be extreme cases that need to be handled differently from the default setting. but the default setting should not be prison, it should be rehabilitation.

Yes, that is what the default should be.

This is not a default case and he should be incarcerated even if the system was perfect.

Default setting should be prison? For marijuana possession?

For fucking getting an abortion???

Prison should not be the default setting for anything my dude.

Default setting should be prison? For marijuana possession?

Are you intentionally misreading my posts?

I was agreeing with you that rehabilitation should be the default, and pointing out attempted murder is not the default.

Got it, thank you for clarifying.

It wasn't deliberate. I said, "the default setting should not be prison" and you replied "Yes, that is what the default should be." so I read it as contrary. So I appreciate your response
