I find it funny that the typical argument of "actions should be judged by their effect on the larger system" when discussing "punching down" but then all that disappears the moment a topic like this comes up, and the system is suddenly hypocritical for lesser sentences for a random guy vs someone in an active terrorist group. Well, no, I don't find it funny, I just find it interesting.
