The sentence for the older man is too long.
I've told you this before, Sly...In general, prison sentences in this country are too long. Most sentences would get the same amount of crime-decreasing results if they were cut to 10% of what they are.
The most heinous long sentences are the ones for first offenders for minor offenses. The evil legal system ruins someone's life by sentencing him to an unemployable life in hiding after release, in effect a life sentence.
That's true for both black and white people. Black people then get a double effect because of their disproportionate percentage arrested. The crappy prison sentence lengths need to be reduced for all races. This evil started in the Reagan Administration. Republican state legislators are also at fault.
