Not that wide of a range of possibilities for sentence given the plea deal that took the death penalty off the table.

Now that the sentencing is over, there are some seriously disturbing reports of how much overkill some of the victims endured. As much as I was completely disgusted with this poor excuse for a killer, I'm beyond horrified now. May Kaylee, Madison, Xana, and Ethan be at eternal peace, and may their memories be a blessing.

Another “American Justice” story where the innocent die and the evil lives. And on someone else’s tab.

You know what I’ll never understand? There are good people out here working two or three jobs, doing everything right, and still barely scraping by. They show up, they pay taxes, they push through exhaustion just to survive.

Meanwhile, you’ve got murderers and predators sitting in prison, housed, fed, clothed, and cared for. No rent. No job required. Some of them work — sure, for pennies an hour, but most of them aren’t supporting themselves. And they never will.

We’ve got innocent people struggling to afford a sandwich while the guy who slaughtered a family is watching TV on a flat screen and filling out crossword puzzles in a clean bed. Like… how is this real life?

And the sickest part? The people barely hanging on, the ones trying to stay afloat in this economy, they’re the ones paying for it too. Imagine losing your own child to violence… and then getting the bill so their killer can keep living comfortably. That’s not just injustice, that’s cruelty in disguise.

I don’t care how anyone tries to frame it, that’s not mercy. That’s a broken system dressing itself up like compassion.

And let’s be clear, these people are NOT humane!

Agreed, 100%
