What do you think of a guy like David Gilbert, and is his sentence just?

You don’t meet too many radicals in the U.S., but here’s one—doing 75 years to life for, well, what the videos provided tell you. He put his life out there in a 1998 video, so it’s now quite open for us to discuss, criticize, support, or whatever . . .

I just realized that this should be posted under "General Politics." Any mods willing to move this, that would be great.

Listen to Charlotte Iserbyt last night on RTR radio. She talked about how our education system has prevented '60 style protest in today's youth. Interesting. I thought of that when I watched those video interviews you posted.

Even when you do protest today, the media barely mentions it if at all. The wall st bailout protests were huge, and there was almost no national media attention. Flash mobs (where a bunch of people coordinate over the net to ride trains in NY with no pants or whatever) get more media attention than multiple national protests.

Yeah what was done to that guy is ridiculous. Child molesters and murderers can get out in under 20 =/
