Life instead of 25 years due to new "terrorism" law

I agree to a pointin this case but then again Bro what we were trained to do in the rangers was technically terrorism, just labeled guerilla warfare.

So true! Good old labels!

our country is fuckedup, b/c....not bc it is a totalitarian gov't or any of those rediculous claims, but because we give animals like this the right to a trial and that bullshit....they should be executed, no questions asked

Exactly, I don't feel like subsidizing anyone

Either way, his actions and future will be subsidized by US taxpayers.

Too bad he didn't get the death penalty though.

while it is hard to have any sympathy for these criminals in this case, it is merely a matter of time until this law is truly misused by a prosecutor looking to boost his career.

All things in time.

That is part of what disturbs me about this particular article. It brought my mind back to a DUI case in the late 80's. The facts of the case as I recall were

1) The individual in question was over the legal limit of blood alchohol content. Even admitted he was in no condition to drive.
2) He was PUSHING his motorcycle home from the bar because he was too intoxicated to drive.
3) The keys were in the ignition. DUH! You can't push a bike without the keys in the ignition since it locks the steering and you don't get headlights.
4) The engine was COLD when he was stopped by police. They stopped to see if he needed help since he was pushing the bike. So, it could have been stolen or out of gas, whatever.

The case went to court.

Was he guilty of DUI?




























YES, because technically he "was in controll of the vehicle". So, TECHNICALLY he was guilt of DUI and subsequently charged, served time and had his priviledges revoked according to the law.

Was this how the law was intended???

It sure made a nice legal precident. The DA got another notch in his conviction belt and another citizen had his life fucked over by the legal system.
