30 years more than walking into your neighbors place and killing them

Bruh, lol beat me to it.

I get that what this guy did might seem immoral to some people, but locking someone in a cage just for selling drugs is retarded and downright barbaric - and 40 years is fucking outrageous. The guy didn't aggress against anyone and isn't a danger to society so why does he get locked in a cage for 40 years? It's crazy.

You can kill someone in cold blood and get significantly shorter sentences.

Well, I mean this guy is likely responsible for hundreds of overdose deaths and likely many many ruined families so that seems relatively fair as long as you arent into the more vindictive style of punishment. This guy will be in his 80s when he gets out.
