Unless they proved intent to injure someone, or such gross negiligence that someone could have been injured, I would agree that 20+ years is a lot for burning some vehicles.

He would have gotten off better if he'd raped and murdered.

The Tyree Oil company he tried to blow up is nested in a residential area, and the arson don at night.

They had used crude evaporation of gasoline in the morning sun lighting the candle technique to try to light up loaded tanker trucks.

Fortunately it was unexpectedly cold that morning foiling the crime.

Had the trucks and tank farm blown up, people would have died in their sleep and homes would of burned.

The guy is remorseless and should suffer the ENTIRE WEIGHT of the law.

I can see mercy being shown if the guy perhaps thought he was making a mistake but he CLEARLY demonstrates through his continued rhetoric that he will do this again. And maybe next time he WILL hurt someone.

he deserves MAXIMUM PENALTIES.

So you think it's okay to go around destroying property because you disagree over something?

It's okay for employees of company A to burn down a sales outlet for company B? Come on.

IIRC, a guy passed a bad check in TX. It was his third crime. He got life.

And btw, this terrorist also tried to burn an oil [distribution?] company. He's a serial arsonist, and society needs to be protected from him.
