Had he murdered 7 men in Texas, Ami Popper would be dead by now, executed by lethal injection. How lucky for Ami that his act of mass murder was committed in Israel, where the criminal justice system is more like what you'd find in Massachusetes.
As I learned from Shmarya, Popper, who 16 years ago gunned down 7 men at a bus station, is serving his his time in a prison yeshiva (a what?), and to date has been granted 124 48-hour furloughs.
124.
Shocking, no?
In this country, the politician plausibly responsible for such a lax system of justice would have been ridiculed in a sensationalized campiagn ad by now.
