SAN DIEGO (AP) - A 71-year-old terminally ill man has been sentenced to 21 years in a California prison for rolling his wheelchair into a San Diego bank and holding it up with a replica BB gun.
Judge Jeffrey Fraser said Friday that Peter Lawrence could theoretically get out of prison at age 90, when he would no longer be a threat to the public.
Apparently his bucket list, will see his end in Jail. This is beyond belief, he deserves punishment yes, but not this. And yet there are those that will give their life, to save that of a illegal. This Crime does not deserve the time.
I don't understand why someone took him serious? I think I would have ignored his efforts. like , whatever... it was a BB gun give me a break. take it from him and tell hiom to go get a life.
At least he didn't commit a drive by with his Red Ryder, 20 years, give me a break.
