Frankly I was expecting a harsh sentence.

Yeah.. sure.. he should have been burnt at stake.

Do you, and the other pro-FBI types in this forum realize that the sentence handed out to him was much more severe, when compared to those given to hardcore drug lords who have been dealing with drugs for many decades?


Yes. I realize that very well.

You seem to be taking my post with a different point of view. When I said "I was expecting a harsh sentence" it didn't mean "I believe he deserved a harsh sentence". It simply meant "I expected the court to give him severe punishment" regardless of my personal opinion. In other words, I was not surprised the court did what it did; I was expecting them to act that way - no matter what we all felt was right or wrong.

Is that better way of explaining, or you still have trouble understading?
