That's an appropriate amount of time, considering he didn't kill or hurt anybody and really was a victim of the predatory hivemind of online conspiracy as much as anybody else.

No, no, no.
Let's be clear ....
What happened here is not a "as much as anybody else" kind of act.
If someone/anyone would believe in this super bizarre conspiracy theory, and then act on it by going there with a gun "to save the children," then you have some major screws loose.
This was an act that only a minor, minor segment of our society would REALLY believe (the screwballs).

If I seriously thought there was child prostition going on at an institutional leave that was being covered up, I would feel the urge to uncover it - after all we all like the idea of being the person to pull the curtain to reveal the truth. I don't think this guy was planning on hurting anybody, he was just misled. Very terrifying for the restraint owners and patrons, but no need for a long sentence.

Translation: "This happened because the person had mental health issues that aren't his fault, and thus should rot in jail for all eternity".

Where are you reading that he "should rot in jail for all eternity" ?

You seemed to disagree with CrabCake saying that the punishment being as low as out was citing "major screws loose" as the reason. I was being a bit hyperbolic.

Just to be clear, all that I am disagreeing with in his original statement was the "as much as anybody else" part.
