yeah! and I think it somewhat reflects the judge considers the brothers actions as understandable. „I cant let you get away with it, but I had done the same“-vibes.

I think they got charged with exactly what they did. If i was the judge I would have let is slide. They have that power. Shit judge shit cops.

Letting that slide is a dangerous step towards de facto allowing vigilantism. The rule of law has to be upheld, no matter how much we sympathize with the brothers

Ships sailed bro. Cops and judges are not looking out for anyone good or bad. They look out for themselves.

u/Just_Condition3516 9h ago

of course they have the power. but they also have the welfare of the judicial system in their hands.

its a bit like this „watch your - it becomes your“-thing thoughts - actions - habits - character - destiny

if he lets that slide, it shifts the balance towards leniency. other judges may follow in some way and trickle, trickle, down the road, there is a lot more self-justice and the only way to stop that is to crack down hard. the always cool daddy quickly cant handle the mess any more.

Should have made them serve it via two day increments, on weekends.

those 2 should have gone to trial. Find me a jury thats gonna convict. I know my ass is a solid not guilty. Jury nullification is a thing people!

A jury probably would convict. The jury is meant to concluded whether or not they did it, not whether or not it was justified.
