He merits a cigarette and a blindfold.

Nothing more.

Too bad he gets to live out his natural life.

[giobruno]

In Europe, he'd be given 20 years.

No death penalty. What a shame.

[bill1952]

For the love of God, why do we treat murderous criminals with these sentences?

In another thread, I posted, "Send the guy to Florida."

It might be well to remember that after repeated jailing, trials, convictions, and multiple escapes, it was Florida put Ted Bundy's murderous rampage to a final end.

Vang's attorney, Steve Kohn, said Vang would appeal but declined to elaborate on what grounds.

On the grounds that it's a tough job clogging the courts with frivolous appeals, but somebody's gotta do it.

He's a hothead and a jackass. His life term will be short.

"There is no punishment that Chai Vang can ever receive that will justify what he has taken away,"

While I tend to agree with this statement I strongly suspect Mr. Vang will meet an early end in prison and, until he does, will wish he had been executed immediately - At least I hope it works out this way.

Vang, who is Hmong, testified he shot at the white hunters

Isn't this a hate crime?

[Travis McGee]

I think and hope this smug jerg will get shanked in prison inside of 2 or 3 years.

[docman57]

Six consecutive death sentences would have been more appropriate.

[Jaysun]

Keep him in solitary confinement with nothing but a stool, a rope, and a strong pipe overhead.

Even Peg couldn't liberalize this one...
-Way ta go Peg...

Must be an election coming up and you need to appear
anti crime ...but you did good on this one regardless.

Though Wisconsin most definitely needs a death penalty.

He called Tuesday the happiest day of his life, saying he would no longer have to deal with things such as child support and mortgage payments.

True. All he has to worry about now is what the Nation does with him in the showers etc.

My life is over

No, no, my friend! On the contrary, it is just beginning!

Prison is full of randy, lonely men, and you are about to get a PhD in the arts of sucking d***!

During the trial, Vang, who is Hmong, testified...

Ok, I will admit my ignorance, and ask the question: what nationality is "Hmong"?? I have never heard of it. What country is he from?? As a followup question: in case I have never heard of the country in question, where is it located??

[useyourmind]

four of the victims were shot in the back, two as they tried to run away and two as they rode on an all-terrain vehicle to help. All but one were unarmed.

All but one were UNARMED...we can learn something here.
