Terrorist threats???!!!! Our laws make no sense.
First this guy beats someone to the point of suffering brain damage and he has a chance of skating in 7 years. He should be put away permanently - and if it is in a hole in the ground tomorrow that is not soon enough.
But he is convicted on charges of attempted murder? I mean that is ok, but sounds like I hired a hitman and he took my money and then squeled to the police. There ought to be another law for when you beat someone to an inch of his life.
Our laws are really perverted, however when loosers like this are charged with making terrorist threats - and this is what scares a lot of us about new found authorities given to the FBI. A terrorist is someone who builds a bomb to blow up a building or threatens to do so - or someone who takes down a planeload of folks or otherwise commits an act against national security.
What this guy committed was a horrible, really horrible personal crime. I have no time for him. But he ain't no terrorist. It is important to be clear on that because next it could be you or me for voicing outrate to a meter maid for giving us a parking ticket when the meter still had time on it.
