It really is. The bad thing about this though, It happens next to never, but people seem to think that it happens all the time, because you hear about it nearly every time it happens. Since the emergence of mass media, the world has become a scarier place for people who don't know any better. If anything big happens.. Tsunami, Earthquake, Katrina, murder, wars, genocide, whatever, people assume it's the end of the world (sometimes literally) because all these atrocities are happening "more than ever", When these kinds of things, as terrible as they are, have been happening forever. Anyway, raw deal for that guy. The media coverage of stuff really does influence opinions on things. And the penal system sucks here. Rot in a jail, and learn how to be a worse person while in there.
