After 35 years in prison, the man who shot and paralyzed Alabama Gov. George Wallace during his racially charged 1972 presidential campaign is scheduled to be released into a society more diverse and more restrictive on guns.

He served his time. Set him free. If we want violent murdering reprobate to do more time or receive the death penalty then we should put some energy into lobbying "the government" (which is us).
The brothter has done his time, Case and point then we should hold past and current assassins acountable located in our own back yard. Our own Presidetial governing bodies whom quietly kill daily sanction by our Goverment J.B. and the good old boys. People knowingly but notrhings being done. Life is what it is the assassin or whom ever sent death oviousely had there reasons. (Assasson)has put in his time now its time to move on to a new begining Knewday.................

People who don't like the idea of his getting out should blame the front end of the system. He shot 3 people and received 63 years. That sentence was later reduced to 53 years. Although he was eligible years ago to be paroled, he never was. He is now to be released because Maryland has a law that says that inmates are to receive so many days each month just for breathing, and additional days for working and other things. The maximum reduction an inmate can receive is 15 days per month, effectively chopping a sentence in half.
Well, while I'd obviously not be comfortable with it what is the alternative? If you keep him in prison beyond his sentenced term then we make a mockery of our justice system.
