These "facts" are not entirely accurate.

Take the 3 strikes law for instance. It only pertains to violent crime, 3 violent crimes and you're done.

The cookie example he gave could only be a case where the guy was serving a life sentence, but was let out on parole, then got caught stealing. If you are paroled from a sentence, then get convicted of another crime, you automatically have to serve out your original sentence.

Therefore the life sentence was not for the cookies, but﻿ for the original crime.
