Blaise Pascal's Comments

@Todd: Godwin didn't say that invoking Hitler ended the discussion, Godwin said that Hitler would eventually be invoked.

Personally I think they should give him a vegetarian diet if he requests it, but forcing one on him, especially before trial and without medical necessity should be illegal if it isn't already -- unless that's the only diet the jail uses.

I don't get the folks who say that because of his past criminal record he should be sentenced to 30 years.

Wasn't he arrested, prosecuted, and punished for those prior offenses? Isn't adding to his term now because of them in effect repunishing him for things he's already been adjudicated and punished for?

I don't like the idea of locking up someone for 30 years because of who they are (a "bad guy", a repeat felon, etc) when what they did wasn't that severe. If he didn't have a record, would the "strong-arm robbery" of a donut be worth 30 years? I personally don't think so.
