It was blatant and it is was not his 1st rodeo. Therefore, in this case, he deserves a more harsh punishment. I am not disagreeing with the proposition of reforming our criminal justice system, for more reasonable punishments for crimes actually committed. There are many incarcerated for less heinous crimes, and not enough incarcerated for the most heinous crimes. There are a lot of inequalities. It is not a perfect system. But the fact remains. I bet the parents and how he was raised, had a lot to do with his reaction.
