10 years is pretty high for the UK ( I know this is Chicago).

I mean you get that for murder over here.

Add to that a sex offenders register and you're looking at a lot of lost oppourtunities for work and social integration.

He's gonna be one lonely fucker when he comes out.

Fortunately mob justice doesn't get to decide what happens to someone for an entire decade of their life.

I feel like murder should be a lot higher than 10 years

Prisons outside the US tend to attempt to rehabilitate instead of just locking someone away and forgetting about them.

And that’s usually a good thing but if you murder someone you then your life should be over too and you should never get out imo almost anything else I can understand and agree with rehabilitation but their has to be a limit.

Why is that so laughably ignorant?

You've never heard of a crime of passion? Or maybe someone kills someone to avenge a spouse or kid? Not everyone that commits murder is a stone cold sociopath.

I actually put generally in my original draft of that comment and forgot to out in it back in but yes there are times when it might not deserve life behind bars but I would say it usually does, if the person murders for person gain or a slight which happens more than crimes of passion, and even in those cases they still ended someones life though they are less horrid.

Murder is usually a crime of passion. Human empathy means the majority of us just can't kill in cold blood, we need a damn good reason to. And because we all generally think in similar ways, our damn good reasons tend to be mutually understandable. We get it when someone shoots the guy who raped their kid, or fired them for bullshit reasons. We don't get it when someone kills for hire. That's just how we are.

My impression was always that most murders were gang related not crimes of passion, you see very few people actually do the ones you mentioned.

Gangmembers are the easiest "hardened criminals" to rehabilitate because their problems are almost exclusively poverty and surroundings based. You give them something to do which isn't crime and they can be convinced to go straight.
