In case there's anyone left who wonders why we have such a nasty crime problem, the backstory here is very informative. He was being sentenced for another crime (IIRC it was a probation/parole violation, so he's a repeat offender), and given the legal system's habit of coddling criminals his lawyer had primed him to expect probation or some other slap on the wrist. When the judge indicated she was going to sentence him to prison (3 or 4 years IIRC) he flipped his shit and attacked her. If only they had been this serious about punishing all his previous crimes...
If you get hit twice for petty laws and you can't figure out how to stop after that, I think our country is better off without you from a mental ability standpoint.
And that's assuming this isn't about drugs, because that's the only "petty/dumb" laws people complain about, which you really should figure you need to stop after 2 hits.
It does, doesn't it? Two would allow for one false accusation to occur (which we are assured never happens), one misstep of justice, three is downright generous. And yet, people get in a paranoid tizzy over it.
Judges probably should get what they deserve for being lenient on criminals. They're part of the problem, not just the DAs, by commuting or reducing sentences of repeat offenders. The citizenry shouldn't have to suffer the consequences from these self-righteous types.

If only the nation adopted a 3 strike and you're deported solution....
We don't have to live like this.
Deported to Hell.
Only if we relax a lot of the petty laws

Three seems pretty lenient.

We're talking deportation. I have no problem giving those people less than a fair shake.
