Just one? You could get all of his gear but an acoustic guitar with that commodity. Humble bastard.

Egyptian court sentences four year old to life imprisonment for murder

Apparently he was one year old at the time of the offences.

I don't think that's any more absurd than America incarcerating millions (millions??? I don't really know) for marijuana.

**Goofle** · 02-21-2016, 09:01 PM

It's definitely a lot more absurd.

**Frownland** · 02-21-2016, 09:09 PM

Yep.

Not to mention increasingly infrequent in the US as more and more states legalize.

In Islamic countries, sure

In both cases human life is being wasted and people are being punished for no valid reason. In both cases, they're just going by the book and following the law.

I don't think being an adult and knowing about a law makes being punished for doing something good (distributing marijuana) less absurd.
