Semantically, "you" is both singular and plural, though syntactically it is always plural. It always takes a verb form that originally marked the word as plural.

Also, there is no plural when the context is an argument with an individual rather than a group. Somfin shouldn't put words in my mouth.

Kinda makes me feel better to know that the judge in that case is just a big ol' softie who doesn't really seem interested in sending people to prison. At least his sentencing of Turner was in character and in keeping with his past decisions.

Yeah. That one is tough because Turner is a massive piece of poo poo… but our prison system doesn’t make massive pieces of poo poo any better, it just inflicts more trauma and returns an even more damaged person back to society. There are better ways to serve justice.
