Sounds like she is crazy.

We had a guy that drove a tractor into the Sikh temple. He was charged with a hate crime and got 6 or 7 years. I thought that was ridiculous. He should have been fined, maybe some community service, but that sentence was too harsh imo.

Well, sweetie, just go home! Toodle-oo, bye-bye.

Anyone think she is a candidate for 'assimilation' into US culture and society?
LOL
Interesting Americans are not pushing her around enough for her to not go to school here!.

Not knowing the whole story, I have to speculate a little here. If there were people inside, he could have killed someone. That would deserve at least that amount of time.

Charging Saudi woman with hate crime for spitting.

Flying 60 some Saudi's out of the country secretly in the days after 9/11 without questioning them.

Yea, makes sense.

Sounds to me like he is more of an idiot, than dangerous.

Because a drug crazed career criminal on meth, full of rage, who rams a 25 ton tractor into a building is not dangerous. It seems like you have a soft spot for this guy? Perhaps a harsh scolding and lecture should be in order, bad boy, bad boy.

A Redding man accused of stealing a 25-ton front-end loader last month and ramming it into a Sikh temple ....But he also has three separate cases pending, including vehicle theft and methamphetamine possession,Bailey also testified that Rafferty was "confused" and "delusional" and made statements that did not initially make sense. "He said the building belonged to him" and called it the "Taj Mahal," she said.

lol, yes, he's a loser, but I don't want to pay his room and board for 20 years - there's gotta be a better way to handle dopers. Besides, he's got restitution to pay.

Loser, doper, seems like you are minimizing what this guy is all about. This is not some pot smoking slacker who lives in his mom's basement.
