6 years is about right, maybe slightly long if anything.
In my opinion this is what the justice system should be:
- Murder = automatic death penalty, unless it is undisputably an accident in which case it could be anything from like 10-30 years.
- Rape = 20 years everyone in prison should find out you're a rapist (multiple rapes especially if violent = death penalty)
- Child molestation/sexual assault = at LEAST 20 years and EVERYONE in jail finds out you're a child molester so you can be butt raped and then murdered in prison
- Theft, depending on the amount, can be anywhere from 5-15 years plus you get your own personal property taken away doubling the amount you stole
- Assaults: A little mix up is no big deal but something like is described in the OP would maybe be 5 years and the other guy gets a free shot on you if he so chooses.
Also I should note, racism/prejudism has NO EFFECT ON WHAT THE SENTENCING WILL BE if I had my way. What's it matter what the reason for the assault is, the fact is he assaulted a guy. If the guy that did it was gay and he hit a straight guy this wouldn't even be an issue.
