WTF

I just watched the news and learned that the 88 year old who killed the guard at the Holocaust Memorial is after a concerted effort by Doctors going to live...when he recovers he can look forward to a long drawn out trial and then what...maybe life in prison...I don't know..maybe it's just me but what's the point?Why spend beau coup dollars to save the wretch just so we can spend more money to send him away for good?
