Right. So people in the thread advocating 3-5 years of prison for someone who hasn't even been charged with a crime is outrageous.

I don't see how its outrageous. We're (probably) not judges and we're not likely to be on the jury either. This kind of "I hope he goes to jail for a million years" posturing is quite common when people discuss any sort of criminal behaviour.

Is it beneficial or just? Perhaps not. But it's so natural that calling it "outrageous" is quite a reach.
