10 Significant Things That Happen In Under "20 Minutes Of Action"
  1. Breaking a bone
  2. Murder: Kind of a big deal.
  3. Pronouncement of Marriage
  4. Childbirth: While labor itself takes hours, the actual first breaths of a newborn baby occur in seconds. It's the beginning of a pure, new human. Let's teach this one right from wrong.
  5. Falling in Love: Scientifically, it takes only 13 seconds to 4 minutes to fall in love- one of the strongest emotions humans can feel. "They say that good things take time, but really great things happen in the blink of an eye." -Hannah Montana
  6. Opening a First Paycheck
  7. Hearing your favorite song for the first time: i.e. She Will Be Loved by Maroon 5
  8. Road Tests: And thus gaining the ability to get into both minor and major accidents, injuring people inside and outside of your car. And that sweet sense of freedom!
  9. First Kiss: You'll remember that one forever...
  10. Brock Turner’s Walk Out of Jail: It took what, 30 seconds, for him to walk out of his 3 month sentence and back into the real world.

According to Brock Turner's father, things that take less that 20 minutes are small moments that have no implication on someone's life. Are we willing to disregard all events listed above? Would prison be "too steep" of a price to pay for murder? I mean, that's only 20 minutes of action too, right?
