That's dangeous too though
the law isn't there to set examples, it should treat every case on it's own merits, not external factors.
If the law itself is too leniant/harsh that's a different issue.

When Eric Cantona was initially jailed for attacking that Palace fan the judge stated that he was making an example of him because of who he was. The sentence didn't survive the appeal as the law is supposed to treat each case on the merits of the crime committed.
