That is so mean. People make mistakes. We have more people in prison than any other country. We are a fearful, unforgiving society that keeps us from seeing the social, economic, and moral costs of incarceration and lifelong punishment.https://bit.ly/3zKG7mS

“That is so mean”. “Mean” is participating in crime that left 3 people dead. Like Chesa’s parents did.

They weren't armed and never intended to harm anyone. Compassion and forgiveness are good, actually.

They never meant to harm anyone…and yet, 3 people died. Why would parents of a toddler participate in such a high risk incident? I’ll never get that. They ruined so many lives.

I agree that sentencing is wildly unfair across the board. But that’s the only part of your comment I agree with. The Weathermen were a violent group, their tactics included bombings and other things that endangered life. It is sad for a child to grow up with parents in prison

You understand that sentencing is wildly unfair, but you think Boudin's parents got what they deserve. These ideas contradict each other. Why do you think Boudin's father needs to be in prison for 75 years? DYT he has continued to be a threat to society? If so, what evidence?

He participated in a very violent group that used tactics that were bound to eventually cause someone to die. People that are zealots like that seldom change. Yes, I think he could still be a danger to our country based on his ideology. Yes, sentencing is unfair:

Based on his ideology? I don't think you know what his ideology is. What kind of research did you do before coming to this conclusion? Did you read any of his writings? Interviews? "I see David Gilbert as a man who fought for people to have better lives and has served ample time
