Yes. I’m fully aware of what the term means. From your link:

> In criminal law, a suspended sentence is an alternative to imprisonment where a judge may partially or entirely suspend the convicted individual's prison or jail sentence so long as they fulfill certain conditions.

Sure. That’s a nice policy goal. But my point was that I doubt this guy, as a racist extremist, is going to be “rehabilitated” by facing zero consequence.

These folks tend to get worse as they age rather than better.

And by coddling them with probation and suspended sentences, all we do is send the message that being a domestic terrorist has near zero consequences.

“But jail will only radicalize them further!”

IMO, letting them roam around free to associate with their hate groups also only radicalizes them further and places innocent people at risk of harm.

Jail sucks, but there is no excuse in a civilized society for what these hate groups are doing, and they need to be jailed when they break the law.
