8 or 80, he did the crime, he can do the time.

I do feel some empathy for him, as he is 80 and wheeling around oxygen, but if he is convicted, there should be punishment. I would think they could think of a more constructive punsihment than jail for him though. Maybe he should have to work at the King Center in Atlanta?

If he had killed your brother,son loved ones
40 years ago would you still say he's too old
to go to jail?

Maybe they should just make him a Senator.

I wonder if he was a democrat when he did the crime.

If convicted he should do the time. If the man was a pedophile and helped sexually molest then murder three 10 year olds back in 1963, would any one want him on the streets?

Why did they take so long to charge him?

Not soon enough. Even if he gets a sentence of 20 years, he has gotten off easy.

May be I would feel empathy for him if he felt guilty and remorse all these years for his crime and had turned him self in. But he doesn't he still says hes not guilty and has no remorse for his crime. He deserves whatever punishment he has coming to him.

Come on? His age doesn't mean anything other than he got away with murder for so long.

Maybe empathy is not the right word. But I still think he needs to face punishment for his crimes.

Minimum security prison, free meals, free healthcare, friends.....
Hmmmm---not bad if your 80 years old. I bet their are some old timers in the nursing home who love the arrangement.

What's with that 'He's 80yrs--Come On" tag on the post headline? Just what, exactly, are you trying to say? Albert Fish was in his seventies when he killed and ate a little girl several decades ago. You think Fish should've got a pass, too, seeing as how he was an old man at the time?
Murder is murder. I hope the old man who had a hand in those civil rights killings spends his remaining few years in a dark and miserable place, contemplating the ruin of his life and the lives of those he stole.
To: Tumbleweed_Connection
Ok, I can agree on no jail time - let the family members of the men killed have him - I'm sure they would be as fair as his mob was to the young men.

Kind of a weird thread to see on a site where hundreds of people wanted to toss Mark Felt in jail.
