It's a start I guess... Will all judges do the same I wonder?

Doctrine of precedence. Other judges have to give the same verdict but sentencing is a person by person scenario. A first time offender wont be punished as much as a repeat offender etc.

Don't let "long" sentences fool you. The cunts get released early on parole.

I say bring back torture and public flogging for repeat offenders because this kind of scum has no place in society.
