It's funny that the court would explicitly legitimize the idea that some people deserve to be "socially impaired" and others do not despite committing exactly the same crime.

Funny in the sense that it contradicts the entire foundation that the legal system is based on and makes the court look illegitimate and deliberately corrupt.
