    Wow the US is going soft on terrorists. 18years is nothing.

    I wonder how many years an Arab man would get for the same crime.

      He threw two Molotov cocktails at a an empty church. Causing “damage” with no injuries. He got a plea deal, admitting to two felonies:

      committing a church arson hate crime and using fire and explosives to commit a felony.

      So this was elevated because of the bigoted and terroristic nature of the crime. 18 years is a significant and appropriate sentence.

      “I wonder” is the term one uses right before they say to themselves “let me go research it to make sure my assumptions are correct.”

    Everyone who is afraid of LGBT shit, is secretly really worried that if they ever felt safe enough to try it, they’d love it. The internal shame they carry causes them to lash out wildly at anything even remotely entwined with the idea that LGBT is normal. Because then that means they could be sucking all the dick they want, but aren’t because they’re too cowardly and intimidated to follow through. So, instead, they firebomb churches.

    Let history remark about all the ugliness thrown our way, boy, they really coulda used a cock to suck. At least in prison he’ll be able to suck away to his hearts content.
