Reposting this a reply to you, since our charming rape apologist Steve Canyon seems to be dismissing comments that he can’t figure out a way to refute:

I think he secretly wanted to get arrested, otherwise he wouldn’t have been sitting like that.

Sorry dude, maybe if you didn’t want to get caught you should have kept your legs shut.

When you say that you want us to “check the fucking facts” are you talking about Polanski drugging & raping a young girl? Because 1. That’s the fact that matters & 2. We’re all super clear on that, Steve.

No the judge was not at all bound by the deal he made. He may have been guilty of other misconduct but he was absolutely right that a psych eval and probation were not an appropriate penalty for anally raping a thirteen year old. And it is within his rights as a judge to reject the terms of a plea.

Yeah, it’s a real mystery why people don’t care that a convicted child rapist was going to have to go back to jail longer.

Not speaking to this judge, as I don't know her history. It is interesting though that a judge is protecting someone from the possibility of rape when actual folks who have been raped rarely see justice in a courtroom.

There is more than one way to lose a mom. /js

“All vegans are awful SO LET’S SHIT ON THEM” is frequently a trope meat-eaters* like to bust out for a variety of reasons, virtually all of which are ultimately both self-serving and self-aggrandizing.

I have often wanted to offer myself as mom when I see how certain kids are treated by their family. I find it utterly heartbreaking when parents don’t accept and love their own children. I wouldn’t charge though, and I make a lot of dirty jokes. But I offer great hugs and back scratches.

Maybe the rental mom will guilt-trip you to call your real mom more?

Authenticity check:

So now the state will appeal and the “small government, lower taxes” conservatives can waste even more time and tax money on a fight they won’t win.

I’v taught for almost 20 years and I’ve never had a kid take a swing. You know why? I learned how to de-escalate a situation and let the kid save face. I learned when to not push kids on issues. I’ve learned when to let small infractions slide. I learned these things because I can never use force. It’s a shame police…

Imagine a cop did this to your kid. In fact, imagine anyone did this to your kid.

The biggest takeaway should be that Lott said that both girls, including the one arrested for filming, would still be getting charged with “disturbing the school.”

Good. That’s a start.

“I don’t like my job, so I’m not going to show up. Vote for me!”

Let them eat cake.
