Light punishment for crimes committed under extreme duress, harsh ones when the criminal would otherwise have no problem doing it again.Yeah I'm sure this alone would be problematic, but it's an interesting idea.

@Paradox crimes committed under duress or necessity (and more in general “mitigating circumstances”) will already levy a reduced sentence/punishment. Ditto for first-time offense. And recidivism is already punished more harshly. So what exactly is your friend on Twitter talking about, given that they apparently don't know what they're talking about?

@oblomov
Well I guess it's more like the logical extreme of that, because harsh crimes still have minimum sentences.Like imagine accidentally committing fraud. You're tricked into trying to cash a check for thousands. Do you want months in jail for that?

@Paradox the question you should be asking is: if you can prove you were tricked into etc, what will your sentence be now?
(Depends on the judicial system, but for example fraud will generally require intent, and if you can prove you were tricked, then there was no intent from you and it won't be fraud.)My point is that before arguing how the system should behave, it would be better to be more informed about (1) how it's already supposed to work and (2) when it doesn't, why?

Tre caccia russi MiG-31 sono entrati nello spazio aereo estone senza autorizzazione e vi sono rimasti per un totale di 12 minuti.
Ad intercettare i tre jet russi che hanno invaso lo spazio aereo estone sarebbero sono stati due F35 italiani che si sono alzati in volo dalla base di Amari, dopo la segnalazione dei sistemi radar della Nato che hanno rilevato la presenza degli aerei russi, per uno 'scramble', l'ordine di decollo su allarme. 🤦♂️

La felicità è un pensiero per te.
Quel pensiero per te.
Che allevia per un momento il peso emotivo sulle tue spalle e porta luce uno spiraglio di luce in un periodo grigio da troppo tempo.
