"Sometimes jail is not what a man needs, sometimes the best sentence is compassion." Right on!

[@Pascals_Wager]

Actually, the judge gave BOTH jail -to hold him accountable--and compassion to get him through it. Being too lenient has caused many criminals to continue on their path of destruction. People need to be held accountable in a fair manner, too harsh a sentence for some will make them feel like a victim and not take responsibility for what they have done. Too light a sentence and they think what they did wrong is no big deal, they will do it again. This is a wonderful story and this judge cared about the outcome for this former green beret.

BitterVoid sooooo what happens if he’s “deemed competent and kills again? Is that an “oops...looks like he needed more time on the farm”. “Let’s put him back to work and we’ll evaluate him in 3 more months” type of situation? (Because surly 3 he’d be good to go after 3 months). I mean c’mon. This is ridiculous. How many times should these officials let him reenter society?... Or should I say, how many killing opportunities would be handed to him before realizing he needs more than a farm, some manual labor and mental evaluations every 3 months?? I do agree that the justice system is terrible. Especially for those who really need help and it’s a huuuuge waste of our tax dollars. Which is why I believe in something we don’t use enough....it’s called the death penalty. If someone murders/rapes a child; he needs to go ASAP. None of this feeding him 3 means a day for the next 10 years beforehand. It needs to be done immediately. Even better, “an eye for an eye”. I’m sure people would think twice about killing someone if they knew their fate would be met by being killed in the same fashion. Some need help. But their are a LOT of monsters out there. Monsters who shouldn’t be allowed to breathe the same air as us.

[@chrispatriot]

I don't think it was empathy. I genuinely believe it crossed the line into true sympathy! There's soooooo much corrupt definitions out there in the Psychology world about the distinction between empathy and sympathy... But the greatest difference is the ability to "connect with" the struggle you're observing from the other person. Empathy is merely a cognitive recognition that you understand. Sympathy is where you can inter-relate it to some of your own struggles, and a greater depth of understanding a person's plight is not only acknowledged, but felt... This judge made one comment in particular, where you know he CONNECTED with Joe. Judge Olivera said "I just "Felt" I had to go with him"... This is when you don't just "acknowledge" but you partly take some form of ownership with the person going through the struggle. THAT is "Sympathy"... ;)

So it was noon 12:00 12:05 whatever you get the point the day has barely started yet I put in a call to the plug and noticed that I didn't have any shells left and I was short on a few things around the crib so I walked down the block to the store when I hit the door three n***as came out arguing loud enough for the half the set to hear them and if you live this life for as long as I have then you know what "I always carry this" means and how that "conversation" ends but since you obviously not about that life I'll give you a hint *POP* *POP* And when it happened nobody gave a s*** not the people in the store and not the people outside bringing in supplies wasn't a traumatizing or life changing experience just a Wednesday. TLDR I walked a block to the Arab store to get some swishers and walked past a crime scene on my way out. We're Worlds apart so don't you dare assume that your pathetic sheltered life applies to me. So keep your windows up and keep licking boots grateful that others out there fighting a hypothetical enemy that you will never meet in your life I'll keep surviving in the streets.
