So using your logic, 5 drunk men in college spikes woman’s drink, then they rape her. Your response is, boy they need to be told not to drink alcohol?

“yo guys, just in case anything happens while I’m trashed, no need to get upset, I promise I’ll start my 12 step meeting on Monday.”

Do you have a better diagnosis?

“A few awkward moments”

Is this “out of bullets”?

And from people who think the Corporatist Dems are awful.

Look. That isn’t a healthy person.

Is it so hard to imagine that BOTH of them have close ties to Putin?

Look, if you DON’T think there’s something wring with someone who does this...?

Are you a lawyer? No.

Sure, and a judge has the ability to override that to make a real suggestion.

So, you just want to see him punished?

I mean... you can have a lawyer present and refuse to answer questions like that. Yes?

So that makes new mothers pedophiles?

To play devil’s advocate... it was a joke for his buddies that was in very poor taste.

Isn’t the DA’s argument more simple? This isn’t a criminal we need to feed into the broken prison system?

As to intent, was he licking her for the salt content?

I don’t understand why sexual assault/rape is handled so differently than every other crime - assault, theft, murder, etc.

Unfortunately for this scenario, intoxication is a defense to specific intent crimes

It has nothing to do with criminal code. It has to do with a judge realizing someone isn’t a threat who needs to go to jail.
