I'm glad he got life. This wait he can sit in prison until no one even remembers who he is[...]
You mean like that other guy who tried to blow up the WTC in 1993? You know: What's-His-Face? (He's actually known as
Ramzi Yousef. I can usually remember it, but for some reason I had to look it up this time. I suppose this validates Cold_Steel's point.) Last I heard, he's in solitary confinement in the Supermax prison. He didn't start in solitary confinement, though: They put him in there after all of the mind games he played on his former accomplices who were in there with him caused one of them to snap and try to kill him.1 I thought that was pretty funny, actually.
So, I guess people actually do remember people in solitary. Just, you know, not often. And I never hear anyone refer to Yousef as anything resembling a martyr, so I guess that part works.
