Reply to comment by Chippopotanuse in Man who slashed stranger’s throat on CTrain avoids federal prison term by I-Am-Not-A-Hunter

exactly. that logic will work for a check fraud artist or maybe even a petty weed dealer. I personally think prison does more harm than good in a lot of cases. But when you come out of the gate with a violent offense, that's where your ass needs to be!

Right? He's afraid prison would make someone willing to cut a throat worse.....like maybe he cuts their throat AND says something to hurt their feelings?

Spending time in prison will just give him plenty of spare time to learn where the major blood vessels are so he doesn’t miss again. That’s the danger that will come with more prison.

You can find that information just by walking into a public library and looking at a copy of Gray's Anatomy.

Apparently people missed the joke. And I wouldn’t trust greys anatomy for medical accuracy.

Sometimes we really do just need to separate certain people from society at large because they are a danger to society. I think that gets lost sometimes in the rehabilitation argument.

right. the judge should have slapped a dangerous offender tag on this fuckhead but thatd guarantee a cluster of caterwauling protesters and news coverage outside of court. you want out of jail, prove you’re not a danger.
