1) The issue here is whether he deserves to be released early. From what I have read he has shown little remorse and has said he would do the same thing again. Therefore he does not deserve to be released early.
2) Does he deserve to be in prison? Yes. Or at least in a secure hospital. He shot a 16 year old in the back as they were leaving through a window. He also shot a second man as he was leaving. Mr.Martin was also in possession of an illegal firearm, the licence for which had been revoked after he shot at a car. He needlessly and deliberately took the life of another human being and all he will lose in return is a maximum of five years of his freedom, probably less.
Mr. Martin is guilty, guilty, guilty. He may have been a disturbed and angry individual, but that doesn't excuse taking another's life.

I don't agree with a single thing you just said. When someone breaks into my home they lost all rights of a citizen who follows the law. If I caught someone leaving my window and I had a gun I would kill their ass too. If I didn't have a gun I'd drag their ass back in my home get a knife and slice their god damn throat! Criminals should be punished not given rights to protect them.
