    And the Judge was furious they couldn’t give him a harsher sentence. That five years was quite literally throwing the book at him. It’s a felony, though, so even after he gets out he’ll be stripped of his rights to vote or purchase a firearm. His job prospects will dwindle to the point of non-existence. And I think he’ll be prevented from owning a computer or accessing the Net, given the nature of his crime.

        Felons voting doesn’t hurt voting results more than anything else, the US is just retarded.

      Computer restrictions can be part of probation, but after that, he should be okay to own one. Voting right is a state-by-state thing, I think. Firearms are 100% everywhere for him, though.
