re: #29 EmmmieG

Um, is that 21 years in prison total? Or 21 years for each and every person killed.

Good with the latter, not with the former. Killing nearly 100 people should cost you more than two decades.

I don’t want get into a debate about this particular case, but more generally: can you step back a minute and think about how long 21 years is?

It’s an unimaginably long time to sit in a 8’x10’ box.

Do not mistake this for a plea for compassion or leniency.
