re: Founder of the Silk Road drug marketplace has been sentenced to life in prison

I am very surprised at how many posters in this thread feel that this fellow was treated unfairly because he received a life sentence. A lot of you are even griping at the government and/or the judge.

There are many crimes for which life imprisonment is given - not just murder. If you really don't think this fellow's behavior was atrocious and deserving of a life sentence, then you aren't the kind of person that I'd like to know. I won't miss you. If you are just aping everyone else's "outrage" because you think that's cool, then you're just an idiot.
