You can now prosecute people doing harm with new charges. I don't know why that isn't significant. Why does every action have to "fix everything?"
Aaaand? They are already charged with, you know, killing people.
Not necessarily. Not if they were stopped before they could kill anyone.
Well, trying to kill is already illegal.
You really don't understand how adding charges results in longer sentences? Really?
Well, you can just increase sentence for killing if you want what you claim
That's not how laws work. There are already maximum and minimum sentences for each offense.
Yes. And both of them can be changed.
Or you can just add to the charges. What difference does it make to you?
