Sounds like LWOP is making him pretty miserable. And it's only been a few years.

Imagine him at 80, he's spent 50 years in a cage, he's an old man, he knows every little thing he's missed out on. All the family that may have cared about him are dead. He hasn't had a lover in half a century at least or kids to watch grow up. No having a drink with friends. No going on a vacation, feeling the waves on your feet or seeing something beautiful. No trying something new. No to a lot of things.

The dead don't suffer, only the living.

Much much longer. I would wager his whole life.

Haha, I had that thought too, that's why I said "at least."

However, sometimes these guys do have relationships, especially if they aren't incel shooters and this guy was a racist one.

I think the Vegas shooter had a girlfriend.
