Re: r. biggs.
The media are to blame for this man's notoriety...and for turning him into some kind of hero....who evaded his sentence for such a long time.
While I understand that he has been released on the grounds of compassion, he is still a criminal.
He may not be a threat anymore, but he is and always will be, in some measure, responsible for affecting the life and family of the train driver, who could never live a normal life after the attack.
