He did nothing wrong, he never handled drugs directly, he just acted as a medium for the crime to happen, the US government allows for hundreds of people to die each year, do we see Obama being thrown into jail?
but honestly, he is probably gonna get life in prison

Not entirely true. In fact, Ross was actually the first drug seller on there. He grew some Magic Mushrooms and used them to get the Silk Road going as detailed in his writings found on his computer.

He should have put his bitcoins through a mixer at a minimum.

Using a mixer doesn't matter much when you get caught redhanded with the wallets that contained hundreds of millions of dollars worth of btc.

I don't care about american laws or the american constitution. All I know is he enabled networks of drug and perhaps other harmful substances for trade around the world, that possibly harmed many families in the process. He definitely deserves to be punished.

He didn't harm any person or families as he didn't force anyone to buy drugs; they made that choice. It should be a fundemental human right for people to take or buy any drugs they wish and SR enable that which was a good thing. It's none of the state's business what drugs someone should be allowed to take and if a person is not harming anyone else by doing so then no crime was comitted.
