– Ulysses S. Grant

Federal prosecutors shut down Megaupload, yet Schettino may get a slap on the wrist

Wow.

It’s interesting how many years of prison you can get because of cheating and money laundering, yet when some idiot decides to take a ship close to an island for a stupidity and people die, the maximum of years he can get is 12. I am talking about lovely “Captain” Schettino.

Correlation of city inhabitants and interesting Master’s degree??
