1. Judge's statement:

Judge Rakof: "Sayoc was fully capable of concocting pipe bombs capable of exploding," and since he didn't, Judge Rakoff believes that was "in the court's view, a conscious choice."

3. What was his point of sending them than?

He just wanted to scare them enought to die on the spot of a heart attack?

4. so he didn't really try to kill anybody,

just to terrorize them?
i'm okay with 20 years.

5. He's 57 years old.

If he serves all of his sentence he'll still be young enough to hurt people when he gets out. I guess 20 years is better than it could have been but it is enough to deter any other home grown terrorist?

6. If he was a liberal, he wouldn't have been given this benefit of the doubt.

If he was Muslim he wouldn't have been given this benefit of the doubt
If he was an immigrant he wouldn't have been given this benefit of the doubt
If he were a minority he wouldn't have been given this benefit of the doubt.
If he were LGBT he wouldn't have been given this benefit of the doubt
If he were a she, she wouldn't have been given this benefit of the doubt

So sick of laws that are not fully enforced or enforced at all for straight white men by these rw judges.

7. How long before the pee-stained Putin puppet pardons him?
