This Saves Alot of Heartache

Eric Rudolph is pleading GUILTY and will serve four life sentences. I understand how angry many will be, but this assures a just outcome and gives no voice to the media circus that was sure to ensue. We've had enough grandstanding.

Plea deal turns up explosives Jeff Lyons, whose wife was severely injured and left blind in one eye in the Alabama bombing, said he and his wife were “extremely disappointed” in the life sentences for Rudolph. “As they say, let the punishment fit the crime. That was a death sentence,” he said.

But Lyons said he understood prosecutors’ reasons for agreeing to a plea deal since Rudolph directed them to the explosives — something that likely would not have happened had the case gone to trial.

Let him rot there.

How exactly does one serve four life sentences?

Marry a girl with two sisters...

Look on the bright side. He might get shanked in prison.

Or become somebody's boyfriend.

He is sort of a pretty boy. I think being Bubba's love slave for the rest of his natural days would do quite nicely.

Someone should send Eric sewing magazines so that he can learn how to make some really attractive attire. A very useful to learn in prison, where bomb making is strongly discouraged.

Yeah, let him rot; he'll be some Bubba's "red-Nosed-reindeer" soon enough...

Give him to me for a few days on a "Work/Release" program.

I do have access to fifty five gallon drums of ammonia based products and a hydraulic ram designed to compact waste materials safely in a steel drum. He'd be easily interned in Lake Michigan afterwards.

Gunny, you're always the efficient one!
