    Don’t you mean that almost all other sentences for rape seem far too short?

    There were several aggravating factors here. A long sentence is surprising given that he is a wealthy, white man. But it’s absolutely justified (in the current carceral context, of which I strongly disapprove).

      No, in fact I specifically said:

      I’m not trying to argue what he deserves or what the correct amount of time is for rape.

        I didn’t say you were. I’m suggesting the sentence only seems long to you because you grew up in a world full of Brock Turners. If you’re not arguing about what the correct sentence should be, that is the only possible interpretation of what you said. Your perspective has been warped by your experience of this world that we live in.

        I used to have a friend that did 8 years for murder. Dude hit the 3 strike rule though he’s out for life no parole.
