I do think there is some merit to the 3 Strikes rule however - if I'm not mistaken, 3 serious convictions (felonies) and it's automatic lifetime. That seems fair: The 1st time, okay, you're young and stupid perhaps or just made a bad choice; 2nd time, you got a break but this is your last warning; 3rd time, it's obvious you're a career criminal - at least one in the making, you're out of here.

not all states have a 3 strike rule. If that was the case, the drunk driver that did a felony hit-and-run on me and put me in a wheelchair for 4 months would have went away for life, instead of just getting three years probation.
When he hit me he was on probation for his second felony. What a fuckin joke
