Maddox was driving south, passing cars and shooting at them as well as firing at cars traveling north, investigators said.Clearly not a hate crime, as he was firing at cars traveling in both directions.

I guess 52 years from now, eh? Let's hope so, and not get paroled in 5 for "good behavior" (sic)...

I don't see why we need to keep him around at all ---why not just give him the death penalty and end his miserable live?

Ol' Jimmy Jack has a Chante Mallard kind of look to him, a barely able to function in society kind of look to him. He's a mouth breather.

52 years is not adequate. He deserves death.

In LA, 52 years does not necessarily mean 52 years, does it?
Some LA jurors weep at the low socio-economic background of certain defendants and forget the actual crime that was committed.
If this is not a death penalty, what would be? Maybe LA is too lenient with her criminals, just like she is with her corrupt politicians?
