The Christys, of McAdoo, Pa., pleaded guilty in January to making harassing phone calls to Palin's attorneys. Attorney John Tiemessen testified that the men's calls threatened Palin and attorneys. Both Christys apologized Friday for their actions.

In Friday's sentencing, U.S. District Court Judge Timothy Burgess ordered Shawn Christy to spend up to six months at the Scranton residential facility, where a bed will become available in mid-July. Christy wanted to return to his parent's home, where he had been living until his arrest last year.
"Why can't I go home now?" he said.
"Because I'm not letting you go home," Burgess said, prompting Christy to ask what was the judge's reason for imposing the order.
"It has to do with consequences," Burgess said. "It's part of the consequences for your behavior.
*snip*
"I understand my behavior, and I understand this is ridiculous," Christy said. A short time letter, Burgess called for a short recess after blurts from Christy.
Burgess ultimately said Christy could stay with his parents at their McAdoo home until a bed at the residential facility becomes available.
After the sentencing was completed, Tiemessen said Christy's behavior in court was consistent with what he and others had witnessed in the past two years, including hundreds of calls from the Christys to his law firm's offices in Fairbanks and Anchorage.
"I've seen dozens and dozens of such little outbursts and worst," Tiemessen. "It just the first one Judge Burgess has seen."

2 “men” sentenced? Sounds more like a spoiled little kid that will live in moms basement forever.
I had to click through to the article to see how old this kid is - he's a freaking 20-year-old alleged adult!
And he's whinging because the judge won't let him go back home to mommy's basement and let him make more threatening phoney phone calls.
Did any articles mention what his DU screenname is?
Sounds like the little turd was close to a contempt of court charge.
Not enough of a come-uppance if you ask me.
I pity the parents even though they are not blameless...
Well I have contempt for that court as well..
He should get at least a year.....
Judge Burgess has more patience than I have. I would have slapped a contempt charge on that little twerp.
Reading the article, it appears he was sentenced to time served and 5 yrs’ probation. They’ve apparently been held since last August. The young punk will get 6 months in a residential facility, starting mid-July when a bed opens. A punk, spoiled kid and his idiot criminal father ... hundreds of harrassing calls per DAY and threatening awful things .. definitely deserve more punishment.
“Good! The rotten punk gets rightful comeuppance for his vicious behavior.”

Rightful? I think not.
Particularly after he attacked the judge.
Typical spoiled, no-nothing, hateful little Leftist twirp.
Ge he’s got a real purty mouth!
Like father like son. they should spend a lot more time behind bars,A—Holes.
Cripes!
“no-nothing” s/b “know-nothing”
There is a screw loose with the parents also.....
If I were the judge and the kid pulled that crap on me, I’d sentence the little twerp to 90 days of water-boarding after each meal.
According to an affidavit by the FBI, Craig Christy threatened to kill Tiemessen in one obscenity-filled message, and in another, Shawn Christy said he might have sex with Palin. The younger Christy also threatened to come to Alaska and rape one of the attorneys, according to the document.
The restraining orders were issued after Palin left office.
The order against Shawn Christy was issued in 2010 after he was accused of stalking Palin. It was renewed last year after Palin testified that Christy appeared to be sending a clear signal when he made a one-day visit to Alaska on her February birthday.
Palin also said she feared Christy’s parents because of their claim that she had a sexting relationship with their son in 2009, when he was a teen.
The order against Craig Christy was issued last year after he was accused of barraging Palin’s parents with telephone messages.
Beyond despicable criminal behavior ... pure savage lib thuggery.
The MSNBC Klux Klan doesn’t think there are any consequences for their actions.
Whackjob liberals continue to go to prison for stepping over the line, but the ones who pushed them there, Daily Kos/MSNBC/HuffPo, go unpunished.
WHY?
If Obama had a son and father, they’d look like this.
Gaydar went of the scale...

In a letter submitted to Lack with last week’s filing, Craig Christy also notes Palin’s recent purchase of a part-time home in Scottsdale, Ariz. He says he wants Palin to release the address so a support group called “Stand Strong Shawn Christy” will “not violate any protective order if we are protesting or campaigning in Scottsdale, AZ.”
Craig Christy also alleges a conflict of interest by the magistrate, saying Lack is a former staffer of late former U.S. Sen. Ted Stevens and that Palin “photographed multiple times” with him during her political career.
Palin and a friend, Kristan Cole, originally obtained restraining orders against Shawn Christy last year, stating in court documents that he threatened them, said he was buying a one-way ticket to Alaska and sent a receipt for a gun purchase.
Palin also has said she feared Christy’s parents because they believe she and the teen traded sexual messages two years ago.

The Daily Beast’s Diane Herbst provides a fascinating (and/or confusing and/or infuriating and/or incredibly sad) interview with Karen Christy, the wife of Craig Christy and mother to Shawn Christy. According to Ms. Christy, the root of this fiasco is none other than Willow Palin, Sarah Palin’s second eldest daughter, who made headlines of her own for writing a slur-laden Facebook rant.
http://www.mediaite.com/online/wife-and-mother-of-sarah-palins-alleged-stalkers-speaks-out/
In 2009, she says, her son began receiving text messages and phone calls from “who we believe is” Willow Palin. She says that Sarah Palin would also send him texts from time to time, and that some of these texts were sexually explicit in nature. However, Karen maintains that she does not know exactly what these alleged text messages said.
Karen says that the restraining orders placed by Palin’s people resulted in her husband losing two jobs. The family found themselves strapped for cash and frustrated at not being able to “communicate with legal officials involved with the restraining orders,” so Shawn flew to Alaska to “do some law research.” This is the trip Palin referred to in her testimony.
Sheesh ... they’re incorrigible, intractable and relentless thugs. Wonder if they were being paid by Soros/ACORN type operatives/networks for their ‘labors.’ Otherwise, what would be the incentive of 20 something thugs for such crazy, obsessive criminality?
“...they believe she and the teen traded sexual messages two years ago.”

They don’t “believe” that for a minute.
They are nothing but hate-filled, Communist thug criminals.
Yes, and clearly with insufficient chlorine.
Comeuppance?! Wha-a-a-a-at? He gets to run home to mummy, and that’s comeuppance?
Ping!
(Are these some of James Carville's "Alabama" folks?) </sarc>
Looks like a bleached chimp.

This pampered little pr!ck better not get into any kind of trouble that would put him into a real prison.
"Why can't I go home now?" he said.
"Because I'm not letting you go home," Burgess said, prompting Christy to ask what was the judge's reason for imposing the order.
"It has to do with consequences," Burgess said. "It's part of the consequences for your behavior."
"I understand my behavior, and I understand this is ridiculous," Christy said.
Oh, how I wish the Judge at that point would have said,
"Well, let's make it more rediculous for you then. I find you in contempt and sentence you to twelve more months at the detention facility, to run squestnially after your first sentence."
"Is that rediculous enough for you, or would you like more?"

All leftists have a screw loose.
“Both Christys apologized Friday for their actions.”
Only because the prosecution had them dead to rights and they were hoping the court would ameliorate their sentences. If it hadn’t been for that, they would have bragged about it to everyone they met.
Lost two jobs, yet they had money for plane ticket to Alaska and huge phone bills. Huh? Who paid for that? Doesn’t anybody ask follow-up questions?
Thank you for the ping SW :)
Nice news, indeed ;)
Know big deal. [smiles]
Some people are saying that the judge went too easy on these vile men. I would have to agree with that, and I wonder what the sentences would be if it had been zer0 and moochelle whom they harassed. Hmmm?
Thank you for the post and ping.
I hope that Onyx is all right.
Sounds like all this kid was doing was trying to be cool like “Alpha Male” Bill Maher. Maybe Jon Stewart can have him as a guest and have his studio audience of manginas and libs go “Wooooooo!!!!” when he comes onscreen.
Thanks for the ping:)

Shawn and Craig Christy = Two total losers. If we had a decent criminal justice system they would have both been jailed for at least 5 years. This is classic American jurisprudence — the sub-human (Shawn) calls the spineless wimpy judge a name and the judge caves in and gives the little brat what he wants.
It’d be an incredible shame if these guys jumped bail, popped up in front of Casa Palin and got shot, field-dressed and buried so deep in the Alaska bush that nobody would find them before the Second Coming. Just sayin’, hypothetically.
If they were so strapped for cash, how could they afford a plane ticket to Alaska?
