Soup Toss Sentencing Sparks Outrage: Why Does Throwing Soup Get 2 Years, While Murder Gets 8?
Washington D.C., USA – In a shocking turn of events, a court ruling has left many scratching their heads as to why a person who threw soup can receive a 2-year sentence, while a person who committed murder can walk free with an 8-year sentence.
The news has sent shockwaves through the legal community, with many experts weighing in on the matter. "It’s a travesty of justice," said legal expert, John Smith. "How can a judge decide that throwing soup is more serious than taking a human life?"
The case in question involves a 35-year-old man who threw a bowl of soup at a stranger in a diner. The victim suffered no physical harm, but was left shaken by the ordeal. The defendant was arrested and charged with assault with a deadly weapon, which carries a maximum sentence of 2 years.
Meanwhile, a separate case has been making headlines in which a 25-year-old man was accused of murder. The victim was shot and killed in a street fight, and the defendant was arrested and charged with first-degree murder. However, after a plea bargain, the defendant was sentenced to 8 years in prison.
The disparity in sentences has raised questions about the fairness and effectiveness of the criminal justice system. "It’s clear that our system is broken," said activist, Jane Doe. "We need to re-examine our priorities and ensure that those who commit serious crimes are held accountable."
The case has sparked a heated debate on social media, with many taking to Twitter to express their outrage. "How can throwing soup get 2 years, while murder gets 8? Something is seriously wrong with our system," tweeted @JusticeReform.

Some astonishing sentencing decisions today. A women was given 2 years for throwing soup at a painting, but a boy was only given 8 years for killing someone. One sentence is too long and the other too lenient!

Are you suggesting a 12 (now 13) year old should get life or are you suggesting an adult who damaged a work of art should get less?
Not every crime is comparable. Circumstances matter.
If the boy had thrown the soup and the woman done the killing, we’d see different sentences. Adults and children are, obviously, subject to different sentencing guidelines.
The age of the child is obviously a massive factor in this.
The activists targetted not just ‘a painting’, but beyond that had previous convictions.
Both seem broadly correct
Murder is 4 times worse than throwing soup at art work obviously!
To add to the other comments, it’s a minimum of 8 years.
Seems about right to me. I’d maybe have giving the woman 3-4 years. 2 is a bit lenient when they are grown woman that should know better but it’s ok. Maybe the kids could have got upwards of 12 years but 8 also seems ok. They are only 13 after all depends what they are like in person if they showed no remorse then I’d have pushed for 12 years.
Sorry but you’ve posted this in a thread where most people are capable of critical thought and seeing behind the rage bait so you’re not going to get what you’re looking for. You’re also not looking for legal advice so you should not have posted this here.
As often has to be pointed out, the murder *sentence* is life but the *tariff* is 8 years minimum to be served.
They will be on license for the rest of their lives and can be returned to prison for breaching the terms of their license, so 8 years may not mean 8 years in the end.
