[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, he's a dirtbag, but so is the judge who decided a long prison sentence would have too severe an impact on him.  [b]Severe impact is exactly what this guy needs, not just a quick time out[/b].  [/quote]

Exactly![/quote]

I agree both that the dude is a dirt bag and that he deserved a longer sentence. I do have some concern when sentences like these are criticized on the grounds of racial and wealth disparity. If the problem is that judges can't adequately empathize with disadvantaged groups, then the issue is that the disadvantaged groups are getting sentences that are too harsh, not that privileged white people are getting sentences that are too lenient. Its less of an issue here because the sentence was too lenient regardless of the defendant's background.[/quote]

That doesn't make sense. It isn't either/or. Disadvantaged people get sentences that are too harsh AND rich white people get sentences that are too lenient. [/quote]
