If three-strikes-and-you're-out is better than subjective sentencing, then why isn't two-strikes-and-you're-out better than three? Why isn't one better than two? Why isn't suspicion better than one? But can we really punish people because they might cause physical injury or property damage or even death? Because they are statistically more likely to? Because we perceive that they might have a propensity to? In America???

Have you ever gotten a speeding ticket? Had you caused physical injury or property damage or even death? No. You were punished because, in theory, you MIGHT.
