Two British Muslim converts were sentenced to life in prison on Wednesday for hacking a soldier to death in broad daylight on a London street in a gruesome killing that horrified the nation and provoked an anti-Islamic backlash.

Michael Adebolajo, 29, and Michael Adebowale, 22, were found guilty by a jury in December of murdering off-duty soldier Lee Rigby, a 25-year old Afghan war veteran in Woolwich, south-east London, in May last year.

Adebolajo received a whole-life term while Adebowale was told he would serve a minimum term of 45 years.

They were sentenced in their absence after being dragged shouting and struggling down to the cells by security guards with whom they had started brawling in the dock as the judge opened his sentencing remarks.

11. Laughable

There are simply some people who deserve to never breathe free air. These vermin are two of those people. I know if I were British I'd be appalled at the thought they may get out someday to murder again.

10. Good.

He'll have a nice, long life to sit in near-solitary and think about what he did. What do they get, 23 hours in a cell and 1 hour of exercise, to protect them from other inmates?
