Does the way society punishes people for crimes seem really unbalanced and mess up to you? (Page 2)

I'm not talking guilt here, just how the system delivers punishment after guilt is decided. It seems really messed up to me, someone who embezzles will get 25+ years, but a child molester or rapist will get 10 years or less. It seems like it should be reversed so the white-collar criminal can be forced to repay what they stole. I have also seen cases where someone fell asleep at the wheel, drifted into oncoming traffic and kill people and get an infraction ticket for failure to maintain control, or someone who didn't take care of their tires and when they got down to threads exploded and killed a motorcyclist traveling next to it, or a van that pulled out in front of a motorcyclist, killing the cyclist. All these people broke the law, no doubt at all but not one of those killers ever served any time for breaking the law that lead to the death of others. They all got tickets instead. If a crime can potentially be undone through acts of repayments I would think that is what should be forced to happen. If there is no way to undo it, then they should get a very harsh long sentence. If a victim is sentenced to a lifelong sentence for the crime perpetrated on them, I think the offender should also be sentenced until the victim is no longer living in their sentence. This means any crime that has a lifelong effect on someone, the perp gets a life sentence. I can tell that the laws are written by rich business owning politicians for sure, to protect themselves and their assets. As businesses have the highest penalty when a crime is perpetuated against them but lives have no value if you kill someone while driving and break the law. That is just an unfortunate accident, even though if they had been following the law it never would of happened. Then the whole life sentence thing and people still getting out with a life sentence, means life sentence means nothing anymore. How messed up do you think all this is?

True as someone said money and good lawyer can lower a sentence or you get away with it all.

I think I'm America generally, the justice system isn't that good. I disagree with a bunch of random amateurs deciding about legal shit. The judge should judge. Not the people.
