good for you. OTOH, the strength with which you hold your opinions so far outstrips your knowledge and understanding that it is a little embarrassing.

People with long records of violence don’t generally go to jail for any meaningful amount of time for stuff like this. People with no record are routinely plea bargained to a probation/fine or less, and even given the chance to clear their record of felony charges, especially when they are young.

There is no special treatment here.
