    I’m kind of happy he was sentenced because I’m sick of people leaving unhinged comments and walking away thinking it’s normal.

      The US doesn’t have a shortage of unhinged people, in large part because the insurance system is such high stakes anxiety inducing industry to work with.

      I doubt legalist terrorism stacked on top of bureaucratic negligence will make anyone any saner.
