    It’s because the vast majority of offenders are first time offenders, and are unlikely to repeat their actions.

    This is a good thing, and should happen a lot. Our criminal justice system is fucked up.

        I could definitely see Trump supporters doing shit like this. I find it unlikely anyone at the Capitol, who has also been prosecuted, and given a light sentence, doing it again.

          I very much disagree with this statement. I think if Trump wanted them all to do it again in 2024 almost all of them would join again.
