OKC Bomber's Son A Chip Off Block
Las Vegas 5/18/2006
A judge sentenced the son of Oklahoma City bombing coconspirator Terry Nichols to four years in prison for assaulting two police officers and driving a stolen car.
Josh Nichols, 23, was convicted at trial in March of assault with a deadly weapon, resisting arrest, battery and possession of a stolen vehicle. Judge Joseph Bonaventure in Las Vegas ruled Wednesday Nichols must spend 19 months in prison before being considered for parole.
Nichols was charged after two Las Vegas police officers spotted him at a gasoline station Oct. 2 getting into a stolen car. One officer was dragged 20 feet by the vehicle and the other was partially inside the car as it swerved about 700 feet down a busy street.
Josh Nichols apologized Wednesday for his actions, his attorney said. Nichols also has signed an agreement to write a book about his life as Terry Nichols' son, the lawyer said.
His father is serving multiple life prison sentences for his role in the April 19, 1995, bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building. The bombing killed 168 people and injured hundreds more.
Terry Nichols sent an 18-page letter to the judge asking for leniency toward his son, in which he also said he had information and physical evidence that should prompt a new federal inquiry into the bombing. He also wrote that God's intervention had prevented him from being executed.

It seems that would've been a righteous shoot and, paperwork aside, would've been the proper course of action. 19 months, 4 years, neither one is long enough, he basically tried to kill 2 (two) people with that car, he oughtta rot for 40 yrs, minimum!

Oh, my friend - one day I hope you will find your way to China and see for yourself. I think you'd be surprised. Their judicoal system doesn't like recidicism ... because of lawyers, ours THRIVES on it! They also don't tolerate wise azzed petty criminals ... and ours thrives on them.
Wait until 20 - 100 million illeterate, poor pushy folks arrive in the The Unites States of Amexico ... you ain't seen nothin yet! Remember to welcome them with flores ... Mexican folk love flowers, amigo.
Been to China twice and seen a lot. You've been watching too much CNN and CBS - they, like most folks, know how to run and maintain their government, whereas we (and the Froggies) have lost the ability to use common sense and maintain ours. [:D]

I've been into China 1/2 a dozen times or so including HK both before and after the brits gave it back. I personally have no problem walking into any mall in the U.S. without seeing armed soldiers patrolling the food court. China is a police state, plain and simple.
