Sentence - too short? too long?

[Broken Glass Can]

2+2 is so damn liberal. No wonder no one cares about posters being soft on OBL or Saddam or other evil guys.

Here we have a terrorist conducting terror on US soil and you guys overwhelmingly vote that 8 years is too long a sentence for his terrorism. That is just sad.

terror - 4. Violence committed or threatened by a group to intimidate or coerce a population, as for military or political purposes.

I think a campaign of firebombing and massive vandalism to coerce Americans to swallow their eco-radical ideas fits this definition. Several years ago an eco-terrorist group burned down a ski lodge, and trees have been spiked to kill lumberjacks. Innocent people have died in this terrorism campaign.

Why is this a federal case? If the sentance were imposed by a state judge, I would have no problem with it, but this is none of the federal government's buisness.

with the messages written on vehicles...him addressing terroism and doing this for political reasons...him targeting dealerships (which buy/sell cars over state lines) and the amount of cars destoryed (moneywise) it is easily a federal issue

I think he got off either easy or around what i would have given him. Aspergers Syndrome stuff is BS it made me furious that they even tried to claim this, i woulda added another year just for that! And his pleas about his want to be a physicis would have made me laugh...what about peoples wants to buy SUVs

Why isn't this guy getting charged with terrorism? You should look into that.

Ok he conspired to firebomb. He didn't actually firebomb.
