Guns and the control of is not an issue you concern yourself with? How about criminal sentencing guidelines? Marijuana legalization? These are topics you post about often, if my calling them your pet issues is insulting to you, I apologize.

I do not recall a single person in this thread saying that the 7 year term was fair. What I do recall is derf saying there may be more to the story (there is BTW, multiple convictions for one).

You are arguing this from an emotional point of view, I just gave the legal reasoning for what took place.

Yes, people commit worse crimes and suffer lesser consequences. That sucks.

Oh, no, not insulting at all, I just didn't get what you were referencing. Certainly absurd prison sentences are an issue to me, obviously. As they should be for anyone who desires to live in a "free" nation or society.

I read all the legal reasoning already. The legal reasoning doesn't make it any more right to put the man in a cage. I'm thinking instead of going, "there might be more to the story" we should be pissed off, write a letter to someone and wait for the authorities in this case to either beg our forgiveness or justify their actions.
