        This is absolutely insane. He committed his crimes before he was even an adult and has already served way too many years in prison.

        Are the people of Missouri really that cruel?

        He was sentenced by a judge 20+ years ago, not the people of Missouri just now.

        But you know and I know the sentence is unjust. So what are they going to do about it? How could his property crimes be worth more than his life?

        Certainly the sentence is insane, but it was not imposed upon him by the people of Missouri. It was imposed by one judge. You’re supposing they are cruel for no reason.

        What are they doing about it now? Why isn’t this injustice on the front page of every paper in Missouri?

        Why don’t you tweet the papers to make sure the people know about it instead calling people you don’t know cruel?

        You would rather whine and call 6+ million people cruel for something they had nothing to do with and probably don’t even know about because it happened over 20 years ago then write a letter to a newspaper. Wow.
