If I were the killer in that situation, not that I ever would be, I would actually want to be given a harsher sentence than that. Because what we just witnessed in that video is the creation of a vigilante. When the government won’t seek justice for people whose lives are completely ruined, those people will seek justice themselves, and I don’t want to receive that sort of justice.
It has the desired effect in the society. I don’t see much reason in spending money for a sentence harsher than what is needed to stop people from committing such crimes.

The good thing is, as the second link in the post says, the driver eventually did get a jail sentence of over one year.
Still no where near long enough of a sentence.

What nonsense are you basing that on?
15 months in a nasty, unairconditioned, Texas jail doesn’t stop people smoking weed. It’s certainly not enough of a deterrent.
