- They should let him out when he's 50 or so. I sure as hell wouldn't like to be locked up forever for something I did as a kid. Oh, and God doesn't exist, CLIFF.

- Served his time? He was sentenced to 111 years. There is nothing wrong with the system following the sentencing guidelines. As far as him being a poor kid, he murdered 4 people and wounded 25 others, he deserves to be right where he is, sitting out his sentence and looking for forgiveness from God and the people whose lives he affected.

- Kip has served his time and should be released from jail. What is wrong with our legal system in Oregon?.... This poor kid should sue the State for millions and given a pardon.
