Life Sentence

The Lockerbie bomber was released from a life sentence in a Scottish prison because he has terminal Prostate Cancer. It was called a compassionate release. I have questions.

1. Does his release change anything in his diagnosis of the prostate cancer? Still terminal I imagine. Release from prison is not a miracle cure.
2. He is meant to die in prison. Hence, "Life Sentence." Dying in prison of old age is okay, but dying in prison of cancer is bad? A life sentence is so they die in prison. Something will kill you whether it's old age, heart attack, or prostate cancer. 2 of them are okay, but prostate cancer, ooooo that's just mean?
3. He killed 270 people. Okay. That's not a question, but I thought I'd point out what his heinous crime was.

He is going to die in a lot of pain probably. But they have beds and drugs in prison. They can make him comfortable there. And he can fulfill his sentence. Life sentence.

Damn. I sound like a Republican.
