      No, its compassionate, whether you agree its deserved or not.

      Once again, a harsher punishment for the victimizer doesn’t equate to more compassion for the victim.

      You can’t demonstrate compassion through cruelty. Reasonable punishment is justice, getting off on maximizing punishment is vengeance. Getting angry at a friend of the victimizer asking the judge to consider LESS THAN THE MAXIMUMUM CONCEIVABLE PUNISHMENT is literally getting mad at calls for mercy because it might have diminished your desire for maximum vengeance.

        No-one was asking for a harsher punishment, plus prison in this case is taking a dangerous person off the streets, it doesn’t need to be punishment.

        No-one talked about maximum punishment for vengeance.

        You’re making all this up to justify someone asking for leniency for a convicted multiple rapist.
