Cat-Tastrophy

OK, so this kid kills cats, 19 of them to be exact. Clearly he has issues.

Here’s the thing that stuck out from the article: “He could face a maximum of 158 years in state prison if convicted on all counts, Chavez said.”

158 years? What?

Listen, before you tabby loving cat people get your fur all in a bunch, I’m not indicating that his crimes aren't severe and worthy of punishment.

Did you see his mug shot? You can tell this kid needs some quality time at a facility where he can eat soft foods, lay on a couch, and talk about how mommy and daddy didn’t love him enough. He needs to spend a few months in a cell with a cross-eyed, 6’7”, 280 pound bruiser with “Here Kitty Kitty” tattooed on his bald head. He needs access to top shelf pharmaceuticals.

My guess is 158 years in the slammer is a bit excessive. Confirmed serial killers, rapists, and all around dregs of society don’t end up with terms of 158 years. I could smear my body with 15 pounds of coke, brandish three fully-auto machine guns, consort with known escapees from Guantanamo Bay, have the audacity to question President Obama’s healthcare plan, all the while dancing naked at the policeman’s ball and receive less time in jail than that.

Perspective. That’s all I’m asking for gentle readers.
