From this opinion:
"In July 2008, a jury found defendant guilty of stalking (§ 646.9) which, at the time, constituted a third strike, as he had prior convictions for attempted kidnapping and criminal threats."
My reaction: I definitely do not want a guy stalking me who's been previously convicted of kidnapping (!) and criminal threats.
Next sentence: "Accordingly, the trial court sentenced defendant to 25 years to life under the Three Strikes law."
My reaction: That's a lot of time in prison for stalking.
I fully understand that these two reactions are somewhat inconsistent.
