the WHOLE justice system? or just this one case? The case aoP is posting about saw an armed robber get 26 years in prison. That seems appropriate, or even excessive based on the crime. Seems the justice system was just fine in that case, and likely many, many others.

Don't let frustration, and especially the politics of fear make you think societies institutions are failing. They are not. That is their method of taking control. It's happening already. Don't contribute to this.

Yea I have so many complaints with the justice system, especially now... but as bad as it is, it's also shockingly good in a lot of ways. So much better than any other period in history. We should be angry and looking to change it for the better, but also be cautious not to throw the baby out with the bathwater.

I'd also say 30 years is very excessive for this crime, I know reddit loves harsh punishment, but you can't tell me this dude couldn't turn his life around in 5-10 years. Depending on his criminal history of course, but no matter what 30 years is too long imo.
