Welcome To The Rest Of Your Life
Zacarias Moussaoui arrived at the Supermax Federal Prison in Florence, Colorado to begin serving his two consecutive life sentences. His cheery routine - for the rest of his natural life - will include 23 hours a day locked into a 7 foot by 12 foot concrete cell. With concrete furniture.
Have a nice long life, Zach. Bet it will seem even longer.
Good.

He’s lucky to be alive, and not up to his neck in swine offal, and hooked to a pain amplifier. Which is what he deserves.

Since he escaped death, I hope he has an extremely long life instead.

I don’t know–it’s always seemed to me that Moussaoui is mentally unstable. It could be that he’s also an evil person. I wasn’t in the jury box.
Of all the people to wish nasty things on, Moussaoui seems like a bit player to receive that kind of treatment.
Of course, most of the time it’s the puppets who are punished, not the puppeteers.

Maybe, or he was trained to play the system. (They do that, you know). Regardless, he got off without death - fine. I wasn’t there in the jury room and I won’t agonize over it. But I hope he has a long, long time to think about it. His statement on leaving the court pretty well sealed any chance of any sympathy for him.
