hmmm   the radio has kindov asked the same questions... the judiaciary has suggested the harshness of sentencing reflects the aggravated factor of the circumstances of the crimes committed...

seems to me an example is being made of a few folks which i guess is consistent with the deterrance objective of 'punishment'...

not sure though that while law and order is seen to be done whether justice is happening...

agree with the notion that 'punishment' should be life changing for the better for all and everyone including victims and the person wot done crime done the time ... but can we really expect that to happen and who is gonna have the moral authority to hand that one out?

can something that comes from notions of morality open to question take the moral highground? is this not running the risk of creating problems stored for the future ... like at the very least in relationships or personal health mental as well as physical?

GOD BLESS!

Peace and Love,
