Poor black kid and a rich white girl. Mandatory minimum wouldn’t even be an argument.

Re swimming in underwear: There is underwear that covers more than bathing suits. There is underwear that can’t be distinguished from bathing suits, at least according to my mother, who was a tiny woman with a good figure who found a bra and panty set she thought looked like a bathing suit which she used to wear…

No longer an emotion, just my normal natural mental state these days. Once you’ve spent a decade or more at that level there’s no such things as feelings and emotions anymore.

I would be very forgiving if this dad just went “A Time to Kill” on these people.

I guarantee you this guy will kill someone eventually. But by then he’ll have figured out how to cover it up.

Depending on the victim and depending on the perpetrator. If the rapist had been a Black kid I doubt the judge would be so worried about having to impose the mandatory minimum. 

Apoplectic?

Per the judge’s statement; the drinking age is 21, and the raping age is 18.

Exactly. The old fucking trope of: “he couldn’t resist.”

I believe “enraged” would work.

Shooting them.

White Hot Rage?

I mentioned this in the other thread, but the fact that the only acknowledgement from the judge of the girl was to bring up swimming in her underwear and drinking alcohol continues to blow my mind. It is just... I mean if that judge decided to do this, it would have been so easy for him to even offer lip service…

Yeah, I guarantee that if a boy had been drunk, jumped in the pool in his underwear and woke up being raped, this judge when throw the book at the rapist. The fact these old-school POS people treat the crime differently depending on the victim proves they aren’t fit to do these jobs. 

Soooooo Cameron going swimming in her underwear and drinking is the problem, but dude raping her isn’t?!?!? Make it make sense, Judge Dumb Fuck.   

What’s the emotion beyond “FUCKING FURIOUS”?

“Underwear is not the same as swimming suits. It’s just—they allow 16-year-olds to bring liquor to a party. They provide liquor to underage people, and you wonder how these things happen.”

It’s an easy fuckin’ question to answer.

How that shook out with Counting On really goes to show the sway culture and religious belief can have.

Right they got paid $0 even as adults.
