I said that I support life for a person who's committed arson, aggravated assault, and broken into college student's homes and robbed them at gunpoint. I also said that we should keep repeat violent criminals out of society for as long as possible. What are you talking about?

I think you're just straight-up missing everything. If he's locked up for 3 years, he physically couldn't do something like this for... 3 years. I'd rather have him commit a crime once every 3 years over once every 3 months.

Though you're right, I do wish they could just give bozos like this life plus cancer. Whatever keeps violent criminals off the street the longest is best.
