"Free Trap!" Really?

It's difficult to know how people really feel about things since so many often use trite expressions or meaningless hyperbole. Since an article on Travis Fallows' most recent conviction and new arrest, we're seeing the hash tag "freetrap." We'll assume that "Trap" is Fallows' nickname.

He's not the only one online posters deem worthy of freedom. We see these sentiments a few times a week whenever a career criminal is arrested. They have such good hearts. In fact we just saw someone mention that Fallows would give you the shirt off his back. We once postulated that was the surest way to identify a murderer: They will always give you the shirt off their back.

So let's see...We know that Travis Fallows has shot an innocent woman while trying to hit her male family member, shot a man in a pool hall who later died from his injuries, attacked a family member (in the third degree), and is now accused of stabbing a fellow inmate to death. Should we free "Trap," folks?

Our opinion is, due to his two previous violent felonies, good ol' Trap will get Life Without if convicted of the Elmore prison murder. Perhaps Gov. Ivey will pardon him if he promises to be good?
