I don’t know why folks are downvoting you.

I assume you aren’t saying that’s what he “ought” to get, but it’s just your guess as to what he “will” get. And it’s not off-base.

And if folks think it is…may I remind them of this part of the article:

> He was already on parole for attempted carjacking and evading police.

HE ALREADY FUCKING DID THIS ONCE AND WE DID NOTHING.

As a society, we don’t take red flag/violent crimes like carjacking, felon-in-possession-of-a-firearm, serial DUI, or domestic violence seriously UNTIL someone is killed.

Until then…it’s plea agreements to stuff like reckless conduct and assault convictions, followed by probation or some amount of time in state-level prisons/houses of correction that gets reduced to laughably small sentences before the eventual “early” release.

On the one hand, we definitely over-police and over-incarcerate meaningless bullshit like drug possession, and I’m all for ending cash bail and massive prison/sentencing reforms.

But on the other…when someone shows you who they are…we need to listen and lock them up.

Sure, get them mental health help in prison. Reform prison so it’s not the shitty hell hole it is. But, for Christ sakes, get this guy off the streets so he doesn’t carjack and do this again.
