re: #567 Racer X
OK, so 3 strikes for stealing kids videos and golf clubs is dumb.
What should the criteria be? How fucking stupid should your ass be for you to be locked up for a long time?
1 violent attack? 2? 3?
2 burglaries? 7? 15?
1 rape? 2? 3?
I think the three strikes rule is primarily political.
Now if one says burglary that depends on if they carried a weapon or not. Firearm, knife, bat, etc. If they have no record of physically violent behavior then someone that commits a burglary unarmed would get a shorter sentence then one that was armed.
