The page displays tweets concerned with a man who knowingly spread AIDS and was convicted by a Missouri court and sentenced to sixty years in prison for separate occurrences served concurrently that may be reduced to thirty years. The tweets are mostly by LGBT activists who find the Missouri law stunted.

Writing for Buzzfeed, Steven Thrasher describes the state’s case against Johnson as one shot through with dated, unreliable science from an era in which we did not fully understand HIV as well as high-strung emotions. During his days as a competitive athlete Johnson often used the stage name “Tiger Mandingo,” an identity that he would often use on the hookup apps that he used to meet men.The man was a high school wrestler with a body of death. Literally. He had sex with somebody and then told them later that he is HIV+. Later other of his sex partners came forward, one who has contracted HIV. Johnson's home videos didn't help his case.
They all wanted raw sex, assuming an unaffected partner. The one who contracted HIV would be active with men besides Johnson. Without delving into details of the case it does not follow that Johnson necessarily infected the man.

Groenweghe, with the final word, said this case was worse than the murder cases he’s tried, because a murder ended when “someone is hit by a bullet and died.” But HIV, Groenweghe argued, has “an agenda” to “make as many copies of itself as it possibly can.” In Johnson, the virus “could not have had a more accommodating host,” who had unprotected sex with “one young man after another.”

Murder One.
Fry him.
Or, if we want to see a little justice done, commute Joker's sentence to life and let them share a cell with no meds.

A common behavior. People who are so irresponsible generally think only of themselves. When they hear the doctor pronounce the death sentence, they want to take the world with them.
The Blonde worked communicable disease for several years and tells of the AIDS patients trying to contaminate everything with their bodily fluids and threatening nurses with contaminate needles.

Probably the same people who want to relax the threat to tainted blood supply. To them, communicable disease builds community. Shared struggle and all.
Oh and full disclosure: I cannot give blood because I lived in Europe in the 90's and may carry Mad Cow disease.
Considering that the guy intentionally spread death why isn't the death sentence appropriate?
"Oh and full disclosure: I cannot give blood because I lived in Europe in the 90's and may carry Mad Cow disease."
I used that excuse in college to avoid all the blood drives where I had pretty co-eds or do gooder dudes trying to manipulate me to donate. I'm also not a fan of needles and lately the Red Cross (they're corrupt).
I forget what the metric is for mad cow restriction. Technically I spent about 6 weeks total in the UK/Europe in the late 80s and early 90s. Perhaps that Wimpy hamburger as a kid is what made me a mad dog conservative tea party terrorist gun nut.
At what point do activists get around to saying that a thing that was simply wrong is just that? There is always excuse making, language changing, dumbing down the severity action by using an inaccurate description.
Just call the shovel a fucking spade.
He intentionally and willfully committed acts intended to end the lives of others
