President assassin only gets 32 years? Terrorist please apply.

This month, Sarah Jane Moore, the assassin who tried to kill President Ford, was released from prison on parole after 32 years behind bars. The question I ask is “What message do we send to terrorists and assassins that trying to kill our President will get you just a medium size prison term with expected release?” If it was not for an aware bystander, our President would have been killed.

More facts: (a) The prosecutors never got an honest answer from her on her true motive (b) she was part of a conspiracy organization and (c) she successfully broke out of prison for a brief time. Is that a model prisoner?
