       | lol good ol' Norwegian justice system. This would likely be 10+
       | years in the US. It also refutes the common argument that lenient
       | sentencing or 'rehabilitative justice' is a better deterrent
       | compared to the more punitive US justice system. Crime would
       | likely be way, way worse in the US if it adopted Northern
       | Europe's lax standards of sentencing.
