Agreed. The guy didn’t commit a heinous crime himself, and he “landed on his feet” as a high school athletics coach. Chill out, guys.

What’s the reason for this post? This guy has a job now that is a far cry from his former occupation both in status and salary. He lost his job even though he did not break the law and acted well within the limitations of his position as a judge. He has to make a living somehow. Why follow him in a clear attempt to ‘ca…

Yeah, he is already clearly in hell, obviously didn’t mean to do this, his kids are dead, what would be the point of prosecuting this? You aren’t protecting society, you’re just punishing someone who is already being punished.

The commenters here who think a parent who has had their child die tragically somehow needs to be held more accountable baffle me. I can think of no worse thing than losing my child. People have no empathy anymore.

I’m blessed with loud daughters. If the older is in the car, she’s talking to me. And the younger is a nonstop symphony of grunts as she tries to struggle against the straps.

Only the most hubristic of people think this couldn’t happen to them. I am generally against charging these cases unless you can prove the child was forgotten on purpose. These parents suffer so greatly after. It’s harrowing.

I remember one morning with my youngest I was so damn tired. Just exhausted. He was about 6 months old. Maybe a little older? I was on autopilot and I was just driving to work. I was about a block away from the office and he made a cooing noise - a gurgle or something - after having been super quiet the whole way to…

This, I believe, is every parent’s secret nightmare.

I think that WaPo article should be required reading for everyone.

Thank you for doing the work you do. 

white people are so fucking goddamn ridiculous. this is basically a fucking amusement park ride for this stupid ass woman. gtfoh.

As a resident of Queens, I am SO HAPPY that the Democratic machine here is finally collapsing and dying. AOC was first, now Caban... we’re gonna close Rikers and not replace it and NYC will be a better, more humane place for it.

Seeing this headline and reading this article written in this tone feels like a punch in the gut. How can Jezebel call itself an ally to marginalized people when it regularly publishes these whimsical, tone-deaf takes on the white supremacist criminal justice system working exactly how it’s supposed to: as a literal…

That’s some white privilege shit.

This is some white nonsense.

As an African American...

If this aint some white people shit

This is really gross.

Thaaaank you. Look, I know over time Jez has shifted more into White Feminism(TM) territory but....god damn, this....this is crossing a line.

I’ve seen a story or two like this before, and as someone who works everyday to get people *out* of custody, it is utterly baffling and not at all cute.
