    Discord terrorist known as “Rabid” gets 30 years for preying on kids

    I understand the sentiment and feel as if the punishment does fit the crime, but with that form of death penalty approved and codified would you trust the next administration to use it in ways that you agree with? You can usually tell a lot about a country by how they treat prisoners of war...
