I think it is a hiliarious commentary on our current society.
We have had this dirtbag in prison for years. At no point did Charlie ever actually have blood on his hands. I doubt there is a single person alive who thinks he should be let out. Charlie even thinks society would be making a mistake by letting him out.
On the other hand, the military has some ragheads in prison at Gitmo, known killers and terrorists and look at how "wrong" it is to hold them! And these guys' are still maintaining their vow to wage Jihad .....in or out of prison. You can find millions of liberal Americans who advocate THEIR release.
Somehow, we need to figure out how to blame these ragheads for the deaths of John Denver and Heath Ledger.....that would light the liberals up, big time!
Now, I realize that this is a pretty simplistic view to both situations, but I still find it amusing.
