People who think the RB should be released because he is ill and no longer a danger, I'd like to ask you one thing..

If someone else in the same situation (performed a massive robbery and was implicated in the death of an innocent man but is now terminally ill and "no longer a danger to society") but was 50 years younger and didn't have the publicity team RB seems to have, would you be calling for him to be released, or would you be calling for him to die in jail?

I find it interesting that some of the people that are here calling for his release have been known to call for younger people committing the same crimes (remember, it was a violent robbery with a death involved) to rot in jail.
