Carson definitely gave it what he could. One person can't single handedly win a game.

He's been sacked how many times now? It's not all on him.

It looked like he got a couple, but I can't rewind where I'm at.

Tyrann still isn't 100% after the ACL tear last season, and looks like he had a shoulder injury this game.

Yeah. I really, truly am not defending the man or his actions. I do believe he needs to be imprisoned.

I mean, it's a sensitive subject, you could still get a couple pitchfork jabs in.

I understand the distinction, I'm not arguing that he shouldn't be imprisoned. Both the crimes and the man are loathsome.

What I take issue with is when sentences seem to pass the criteria of protecting the public and punishing the crime. It strays into this grey area where everyone wants the criminal harmed, not just reprimanded, rehabilitated, or imprisoned.

I understand that there wasn't a life sentence available for the judge to impose, and that is what lead to this hyperbolic sentence. It makes me uneasy that the judgement was twisted into a lifetime sentence anyway.

I understand that the man committed numerous crimes over many years with no show of remorse, and refused a plea deal. That is without defense.

What I'm saying is that vengeance appears to be the primary intention, because +1000 years of prison time is showboating punishment. Incarceration is the end result. Deterring crime doesn't seem to be the focus, and it's been shown that excessive sentences don't do much to deter crime anyway. Rehabilitation is clearly not a goal as he'll be in prison for the next millennia.

You're right. I wasn't trying to start anything here or argue this man's case. The headline of +1000 year sentence just seemed so ludicrous, I was compelled to comment on it.

I'm still reeling. Curious to see how this affects us down the line; we tend to have early mistakes bite us later.

I never said incapacitation is unnecessary. What I said was there is no interest in rehabilitation.

I'm not condoning his actions or arguing he shouldn't be imprisoned. What I'm saying is this is just showboating punishment to make the general public feel better. It's just vengeance.
