I think my job gives me a really warped sense about the world.
Got a case in today, 14 yr old boy rapes a 12 yr old and 9 yr old repeatedly. They were his sisters....and I wasnt shocked.
That's wrong...

In a previous job I also had to sometimes deal with criminals in jail, either convicted or awaiting trial. There were a couple of pretty bad people there, but it was not my job to judge them. I was doing my job, and by making sure that they got a fair trial I did my part that they could get the sentence they deserved. But if I had had to measure up the sentences I think I would have had a much harder time.
The only case that got to me was someone of very limited mental capacity, who clearly wasn't able to understand what was going on and why. Prison was the last place on Earth that made sense to put him.
