    Sounds like he had a pretty terrible childhood, with neighbors attempting to get child services involved. He'd been frequently surviving on his own in the wilderness since 7 or 8. I'd say the system thats currently punishing him is also responsible for creating him. He gets 6.5 years, while those investors/bankers who collapsed our entire economic system, cause countless numbers of people to go into bankruptcy and foreclosure, and they still live in their mansions sucking off the teet of the average person. Sounds fair.

    I know a guy who got 4 years federal time for growing pot.

    This little punk should have gotten 15 years.
