I think mental services prevent recidivism and alleviate the root causes of crime, too. But articles about rapists tend to have very different comments than those found on this article and its previous incarnations. There is a trend of oddly-forgiving responses regarding this particular rapist—some going as far as offe…

Guidelines from the Crown Prosecution Service cite rape with “abuse of trust” as carrying 8 years as a starting point. A case could also be made for “sustained attack”.

I had to re-read where this happened, because I knew there was a slim chance a rapist in the U.S. would actually be sentenced to as long as 8 years. I am glad to know that the U.K. has more rapists in jail than any other European country, maybe we should take a page out of their book.

Those two months contain Christmas, and there’s always Florida...

Some are, some aren’t, just like any other country.

Well, if it makes you feel any better, the US will transition from a cool African American to a strong “not afraid to back down” woman in 2016 (officially sworn in in January 2017).

Yeah I think Brand Key has been coasting on the mainstream media for a long time now. Things feel a bit different this time around, but I’m trying not to get my hopes up.

To be fair to Key, I'm pretty sure he's an atheist/agnostic. Money is his God.

I will always be mad about the ponytail thing. He is such a shitty person.

Ugh, John Key is soooooo terrible whyyyyyy did people vote for him, three bloody times in a row, when he was already so terrible the first time he got into office, whyyyyy?!

Tell me about it. I am sick of all these young rich smart guy’s dirty money that I accept for my even more inane service that involves even less work to develop talent at. Buy the right gear, say the right things, cash those big checks.

So fake. That cat is clearly pushing the back of Asian Mike’s head with his tail. Please.

Obviously, the picture is blurry because it was taken by a professional.

When most disruptive kids are asked to leave class, they’re glad to do it. If she remained there, something else is going on. Don’t force her out. Once, my purse got stolen senior year of high school and I was doing my damndest to keep myself together. Lost that expensive ass calculator my parents complained about…

I love how white men that claim to live in fear of ‘government tyranny’ and believe that it is righteous to rebel against it are the first ones to insist that all black people should strictly obey every police officer like a submissive dog.

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.

My 7 yo soccer playing daughter just watched this with me. The smile and pride that crossed her face when she realized who was speaking was terrific.
