Good point and I wasn’t advocating male rape, I should have worded it better. I believe he should serve a max sentence and not in a minimum security prison.

“He smiled when his instructors lauded his intellect.”

Somehow I do not think his “intellect” is going to help him in prison. He will be someones “B***h” who’s value is measured in cigs within a matter days.

Thanks for the ping.

Meyerhoff, 29, has pleaded guilty to conspiracy, 59 counts of arson and other charges related to seven separate incidents...Meyerhoff also was involved in nine other incidents - including tree spiking, heavy equipment and road vandalism, and destruction of genetically engineered crops - for which he is not being charged.

They should force him to work on a chain gang responsible for cutting down old-growth forests.

Exactly. He damn sure didn’t care if a logger was maimed when the chainsaw hit a spike he placed in a tree, so why should anyone care if he gets the ‘Shawshank Treatment’?

Screw this guy, literally.

Earth Liberation Front arsonist sentenced to 13 years

The Associated Press

EUGENE, Ore. (AP) — Declaring fires set at a police station, an SUV dealer and a tree farm acts of terrorism, a federal judge Wednesday sentenced the first of 10 members of a radical environmental group to 13 years in prison.

U.S. District Judge Ann Aiken commended Stanislas Meyerhoff for having the courage to “do the right thing” by informing on his fellow arsonists but declared that his efforts to save the earth were misguided and cowardly.

Under federal sentencing guidelines, Aiken said, Meyerhoff was eligible for 30 years to life in prison. However, prosecutors recommended reducing that to 16 years, eight months, based on his cooperation with investigators.

The “only” good thing is it’s a federal prison sentence and he’ll serve his time. Not much consolation though, the damn judge should have maxed him.

If he actually does the 13.....and Hillary doesn't pardon him, it will be okay in my book.

I wish him 13 years of looking over his shoulder....

I can’t remember any talk of it. I’ll have to go back through the articles and see if any were mentioned but I doubt if there will be, it was a federal investigation.

It’s better than the five years the defense wanted. I’m anxious for a more complete story on it to see where they’ll send him, hopefully it won’t be a club fed prison.

Nope. Federal system. Good behavior is about 54 days a year, I think. So He should pull over 10 years inside.

Thanks for the ping. He deserved more, but ratting out the other criminals is to be encouraged.
