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.

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