He's actually one of the few that understands how things work. Have you ever seen a community corrections program report? They are calculating their chance of recidivism. Past criminal history, education, employment (or potential for it), family support system, etc. are all factors, as they should be. The entire point is to evaluate if keeping someone out of society is beneficial or not. There is no way you'd ever convince me, or any rational person, that everyone should be treated the same in that context. The law has never been very black and white either. Attorneys argue the grey area constantly.
