I know that. But that doesn't negate the fact that she's making bank. And his cheating on her was apparently a condition precedent for her making bank. If I was in her situation, I'd consider that full restitution for what I suffered.

Not to mention she's been getting 20,000 dollars a month in child support. I think that's sufficient restitution for Hart's moral wrongs. She shouldn't be threatening Hart's wife or girlfriend or whoever she is on ET TV.

This is how juvenile justice systems work: http://www.ojjdp.gov/ojstatbb/struc… You were never "charged" with a "felony." Instead, a prosecutor filed a "delinquency petition" to have your case adjudicated by a juvenile court judge. The petition would be based on a felony, but it would clearly state that it would…

Juveniles who remain in the juvenile system aren't "charged" with "felonies" and are not facing "prison time," as the linked article states. They are "adjudicated delinquent" and may be sent to "juvenile detention centers." It's a whole separate system with a whole different set of terms designed not to ostracize…

What kind of pain and trauma have you gone through to think a 15-year-old child should be shot dead in any situation, let alone this one?

You aren't getting what I'm saying. Placing a child in an adult jail is part of the rape culture mentality. Even if it was just for a few hours. But it's very likely he's still in jail now. Most people who are arrested don't go back home within hours, particularly children who come from poor backgrounds (and we…

"They should have just shot him like a rabid dog" is pretty big and threatening language to me. You should be ashamed of yourself.

A 15-year-old child is punished for tweeting a false police report with a very vague rape threat, by being placed in an adult jail and being threatened with adult prison, where he will be incredibly vulnerable to sexual assault. This is unconscionable. If any of you actually are against rape, particularly child…

I find it disgusting that people think it's good that a 15 year old is facing 5 years in prison for a tweet. This site is ostensibly a "feminist" one, which means that it should be interested in human rights. It violates any child's rights to be placed in an adult jail or prison. Children placed in adult jail or…

Have you ever visited a child in jail? They are usually kept in solitary confinement because they are very vulnerable to rape and assault by adults in jail. I would call any child in adult jail a "poor child" and especially this one, whose "crime" was victimless and I think an obvious cry for help. Children do not…

You're celebrating that a 15 year old child is facing up to 5 years in prison. Whether or not you think his tweet merits that excessive punishment, for a child no less, it is absolutely nothing to celebrate.

If he is a "normal" kid, I think that would be fair. But "normal" kids don't write things like that. It's likely he's suffering from a serious mental illness or is projecting abuse that's he's been through. He probably needs a therapist and some mental health resources. For all we know, he could be a victim of…

By your logic, you should be shot as well, for threatening a 15 year old child with murder. At least his tweets weren't directed at anyone in particular.

You think it's good that a 15 year old child is facing five years in prison for this? Really? He wasn't even threatening a particular person. It seems to me these are a cry for help/attention and I would not be surprised if he was a sexual assault victim himself.

And he's only 15. This poor child obviously needs help, not prison. :(

And let him change

Calm down guys. He thought he was Jewish in the 2nd grade!

"And every single whistleblowing event that has happened since [the release of the Pentagon Papers], including the 2005 NSA story in which someone in the Justice Department told The New York Times about that program, the blowing the whistle on Abu Ghraib and the torture program and the rendition program, what…

No shit. But most of them are affluent. And for the students who are not, they are connected enough to affluence/status by virtue of being a Columbia University student, that they would be treated differently than someone of their same economic bracket who doesn't attend Columbia.

Wow. The cognitive dissonance that you have to have to compare drone strikes/killings to a dumb commenter on the internet saying that "not all men do x, y, and z" makes me really depressed!
