Ouch. I understand the charges. I understand how the system works. I understand that he was most certainly guilty of the charges. But I still can't help feeling like being in prison for the rest of your life for running a (illegal, drug filled website) sucks and doesn't seem fair. I mean people kill other people with their own hands and don't get that much time. Maybe I'm just empathetic because I feel like I understand his mindset. He was doing a thing that he didn't connect to his actual self. It was a thing, an experiment, an action that he never figured he would do forever. Now his life is over. I suppose you could say the same thing about some rapists or murderers but. I don't know. I feel for the guy. For the record, I also have empathy for white collar criminals who end up getting 1000 years. There are so many ridiculous cases. Ugh.
