Stephen Espalin has been sentenced to prison for threatening to kill President Obama, which he did in order to get free medical care in jail. This is the second time that Espalin has pulled this stunt.

Not sure how I feel about this. Obviously letting him die in the street isn't the right answer but do we really need to have such an ass backwards system?
