A man who has been in prison for four decades after kidnapping a school bus of children and burying them alive in 1976, has been approved for parole, CNN and NBC News report.
Frederick Woods, 70, was approved during a parole hearing on Friday at California Men's Colony, a state prison, after previously being denied 17 times. He had the support of two survivors.
Here's the shocking part:

Just listened to a podcast about this a couple of weeks ago from Stuff You Should Know. The criminals sounded like a bunch of idiots.

Thankfully everyone survived. But that doesn't change how horrible this could have all ended. Absolute monsters

Nobody died and they all escaped the same day. He spent almost 50 years in prison. I think he learned his lesson.

Very interesting story when you look into it. The Woods guy was running businesses from prison and had a trust fund from his very wealthy parents. The other two accomplices, who were brothers, came from a good family as well.

Another reason why you should not support Democrats. This worthless POS should die in prison.

There are 48 Hours and Dateline episodes about this that are in the rotation on cable. These guys are sick and Newsom and his late dad are idiots.

Does anyone think this 70 year old man is going to do this again? That is the point of incarceration.
