Good. More.
Scumbag
Good riddance.
What does the homeless guy gets?
- Beaten.
Only five??
- Five years is a long ass time in prison.
  I'm not defending this scumbag at all, but being locked up is not a good time.
  
  Florida Statute Section 787.01 imposes a mandatory minimum of 4 years for kidnapping and a maximum of up to life imprisonment. 5.5 years is just shy of the bare minimum he could have gotten.
