Spanish justice demands 270,000 years jail for 3/11 attackers
2006-11-07
MADRID - The Spanish state prosecutor is calling for a record 270,000 years jail for 29 people due to stand trial in February for the Madrid train bombings which killed 191 people, a judicial source said on Monday.
Great padlock you have for the gate to that empty barn.
Seven of those charged are set to face prison terms of around 40,000 years, although in practice the legal maximum they will actually serve is 40 years.
With time off, good behavior and Y'urp-peon sensitivity that should be about, oh, 8 years in the clink. A nice prison, mind you.
The high court is due to unveil on Tuesday the full extent of the terms sought for those implicated in SpainÂ’s worst ever attack prior to a trial set to start in February and last for some six months.

#6  Hitch Hiker's Guide?

Wow. There's a great reference

Seven of those charged are set to face prison terms of around 40,000 years, although in practice the legal maximum they will actually serve is 40 years.

So what exactly does that mean? Divide by 1,000? 270,000 he gets 270 or 40? Que?

#5  "You barbarians!" he yelled. "I'll sue the council for every penny it's got! I'll have you hung, drawn and quartered! And whipped! And boiled ... until ... until ... until you've had enough."

Ford was running after him very fast. Very very fast.

"And then I'll do it again!" yelled Arthur. "And when I've finished I will take all the little bits, and I will jump on them!"

Arthur didn't notice that the men were running from the bulldozers; he didn't notice that Mr Prosser was staring hectically into the sky. What Mr Prosser had noticed was that huge yellow somethings were screaming through the clouds. Impossibly huge yellow somethings.

"And I will carry on jumping on them," yelled Arthur, still running, "until I get blisters, or I can think of anything even more unpleasant to do, and then ..."

#4  Maybe they should think of building a Turkish-style prison, with cells 4x4x6, a grate in the floor for a toilet, and meals twice a day of whatever is cheapest at the bazaar, with two to three cups of water per person per day. Maybe that would be a bit of a deterrant. You don't get virgins if you die in prison.

#3  270,000 bullets I could understand. The only thing left in Spain with balls, are the bulls.

#2  Maybe they should compare the cost of 270,000 years with a length of rope

#1  Who the fuck thinks that even lengthy prison terms will ever counterbalance Spain's capitulation to the terrorists?
