    Many things to take issue with, but 25 to life is a completely sane sentence.

    Minimum 25, then parole hearings start. If he keeps failing parole (is a danger), the sentence can continue indefinitely

      I’m not trying to argue this guy doesn’t deserve his sentence. I just take some issue with our system in general. I agree he earned 25 to life.

          So not sure what your problem is…the person I was originally replying to thought 25 to life wasn’t an actual sentence in the US. I was correcting that misunderstanding originally.

          Then you came in sideways and off topic about it being a justifiable sentence for his crime. I assumed you were commenting in good faith and were confused about my use of quotes around justice. So I responded to that. But if you’re just looking to be a jerk can you do it on like Facebook or something?

            You said “justice” system, as if 25 to life wasn’t “just”. It is, and it’s easy to understand.

            Pretty rude that you respond to a misunderstanding on an open forum by being toxic and trying to gatekeep the platform, as if only your view, understanding and discussion is above reproach.

            A classic thing that happens on Lemmy is people focus on systemic issues when in a thread about a very specific part of a system. I was replying to the specific relationship between 25 to life, and “justice”.

            You whiffed then lashed out but whatever,none of this matters.

              I straightened out the “justice” misunderstanding before you came at me sideways about how you don’t like to shit? I don’t think 25 to life was unjust in his case and I didn’t think it was so you can pack up your “it’s easy to understand” toxicity and miss me with it. I was replying to someone who is likely not from the US or doesn’t understand our sentencing.

              I lashed out? You started the sarcastic toxic trolling behavior with a comment that was unrelated to the conversation I was having with someone else, then continued it in a follow on comment when I tried to straighten out the misunderstanding…in what world did you not start the issue here? It’s not gatekeepers lemmy to ask you to take your toxic trolling behavior elsewhere.

              If you’re a troll I do hope you go back to Facebook. If you somehow genuinely don’t think you’re a troll then I hope you develop the ability use basic insight to reflect on how you come off socially.
