Putting aside the idiocy of his charges against his prison here, here's a guy who willfully killed 77 people. And he will only serve 21 years. Good heavens.

That is unreal. About 100 days per murder... and he is complaining about conditions?!?!?!?!? Let him go on his hunger strike, hopefully he dies from starvation.

That's not the way the justice system works over there. He's basically got a life sentence, but after 21 years punishment (he could, but won't, be paroled after ten), they have a hearing every five years to see if he's rehabilitated. He ain't never passing that hearing.

I have sympathy for a busy person who gets lots of information across his desk who does not always spot a hoax story after it has been republished several times.

But I am . . . surprised that a police chief, who I would hope has a fair amount of experience with drugs and drug users, could ever believe (1) that marijuana is so dangerous that 37 people died of an overdose in one day, and (2) that those hippies out in Colorado are so into their weed that 37 bodies didn't even give them pause in their legalization crusade.

Attempted murder. Send this crazy chick to prison for life.. good choice you made their lover guy. Cheating on your wife is a no no and then cheating on your wife with a crazy person is another one.

Leave your wife for me or else... and then basically a suicide note indicating that she planned to kill all three. Aye aye aye

The traffic is fun too.

Yesterday on my way to work some dumbass was lost and stopped at a right turn...he was on the primary road mind you, and then thought about it for a bout 10 seconds to determine if that was the road he really wanted to be on...

...and the other day an old lady wanted to exit the I-275 in Tampa from the 3rd lane (next to the "fast" lane)....and slowed...and slowed....and then stopped and put on her blinker. She wasn't missing that exit for nothing. I was stunned when the expected accordion crash of wall to wall cars didn't follow. She made it over and off the freeway successfully, fwiw.
