That is quite a rectangular head all right. I predict: Clubowners will get 20.

What a fucked up situation. I don't know what to think really.

If HE REALLY did play into them all dying, and didn't get railroaded and is a scapegoat, then that sentence is awfully light.

Knowing the justice system is pretty screwed up, I'll have to wonder about what role he really played in it all and whether he really did what they made it out to be.

Well, let's see... he was the pyro man for the tour, and had some training in pyro. Forgetting the bad soundproof foam, let's look at the stage ceiling about 2 feet above the band's heads. That doesn't seem safe to me. The fact he didn't get a permit for the show, which would've required a fire marshall inspect before the show, increases his guilt since a fire marshall wouldn't have oked pyro with 8-foot stage ceilings.

So, 10 years for killing 100 people through his stupidity or cheapness, or both. He got off easy. This doesn't mean the club owners' days aren't coming too, though. They all have some blame, and all should be punished. That includes Jack Russell, who ran the show and probably ordered the guy not to get permits at their shows to cut costs. That may not be provable though, and you have to prove it to nail 'em.
