I think you've missed my point. It was that rape sentences should be scrutinized, but privilege doesnt belong in the conversation. This is a gender issue, not a race or class issue.

well yeah, the prosecution recommended the heaviest possible sentence. That's their job. The parole board recommended the exact sentence he actually got. Would you argue the judge should adopt the prosecutions recommendation in a situation where the accused is, let's say, a transgender black lesbian whose…

Let's not. Victim statements have no place in a courtroom. They invite prejudice and judgements based on emotion rather than reason. That's the opposite of the ideal of an impartial justice system.

"insanely light sentence," you say? On what do you base that accusation? Are you aware of similarly situated defendants getting harsher sentences in that jurisdiction?

There's also very little understanding of the legal system which results in the sentence appearing minimal when, in fact, it really wasn't given the evidence and sentencing parameters. (That's not a personal value judgement. It's a fact based on similar situations in that jurisdiction) I think the fact that it was a…

what's it like under that rock?

she has to see arya again, though. Unless she was wrong about that, too.

great question. Assault weapons are sold as "sporting rifles," but the sports they are used for don't resemble hunting, as the name implies. There are entire leages where chubby southerners compete in live action war simulations with real automatic firing-modified "sporting rifles." It's pretty fucked up. You…

A reasonable Boston fan! Alright!

The assault weapon piece they ran a couple weeks ago was good.

Packers fans get to say 'we.' We own the team.

You think I dislike Tom Brady because he 'wins?' I'm in Titletown, dimwit. And there are no asterisks here.

You and drunk ben affleck are the only ones who are angry right now.

1. Okay, but she was pregnant, and the timing is too close for outsiders to know. It's pretty fishy, though. I wonder if drunk affleck knows about Tom's latest affair, and that's why he's so protective of his bro's cell phone data. Giselle's been seeing some divorce lawyers, wonder if Tom('s counsel) figured a four…

He ditched his pregnant wife for a supermodel, he cheats at football, and he endorsed Donald Trump. The winning certainly amplifies the hate, but the root of it is that he is an asshole.

Which millionaires is that now? The players? I, for one, am glad they are rich. They bring much joy.

'that one case' was for child porn possession, not statutory rape. no one ever helped press rape charges, they all just took money.

blame the victim doesn't work with statutory - it's strict liability, meaning the circumstances don't matter, just the age.
