Did you know that the Norwegian shooter (who killed a very large number of unarmed young people with an automatic weapon in 2011) is already 2/3 of the way thru his sentence?
This was my point. Americans didn’t understand this and still don’t. Cultures have different conceptions of what purpose is served by punishment.
congrats, that’s not my starting point either, (or most Americans’…) thanks. just don’t exactly find leading the Holocaust as “the tiniest offense”
