[QUOTE="Ethan N, post: 3229195, member: 29267"] Interesting thing is, California’s 3 strikes law only applies to felonies, but they have some convoluted BS where if you have a certain number of prior convictions, future misdemeanors are enhanced to felonies or something like that. Hence getting a life sentence for stealing a pack of gum. I could go for 3 violent felonies or 5 felonies total. I’ve seen so many things in the OK statutes and US Code (especially the US Code) that made me go “that’s a [I]FELONY? WHY!?[/I]” that 3 strikes makes me nervous. We really have to think things through carefully when we’re talking about the rest of someone’s life, even if they’re a repeat offender. [/QUOTE]
