The FBI announced a big victory: They'd shut down the illegal online drug market "Silk Road".

They said that'd prevent drug sales and save lives. A judge sentenced Ross Ulbricht, a young libertarian who created the website, to double-life plus 40 years with no chance of parole. The judge called her sentence a "warning to others.”

But is it really fair to lock Ulbricht up for life? John Stossel interviews Lyn Ulbricht, Ross's mom, who says her son was just an overly-zealous libertarian who "Believed in free markets and volunteerism. He's not a dangerous person."
