This scum, if found guilty, should spend the rest of his life in prison (no parole). In there, he should face hard labor. This kind of punishment would not only meet the demands of justice, but send a very clear message to others who may be thinking of armed robbery. The message being, "CRIME DOESN'T PAY."
