Judge gives child-rapist 60-day sentence (says 'Anger doesn't solve anything')

The law's only a decade old. The USSC ruled rape isn't a capitol offense but only because it's considered unequal to punish rape with execution. However child rape being more heinous is so far ok per the USSC but there are challenges. There is at least one person in jail for it here. Florida has a similar law.

So? What's the big deal?

Mohammed himself (that's right! Moe #1) married a six year old when he was over 50. I grant you, Aisha (you thought that was African like Kwanzaa, right?) was a supple woman of 9 before the marraige was consummated.

and, doggone it, people like me!

How young do they want to allow? Frickin' GROSS...

To a 'true' liberal, such as this judge, there is no such thing as right and wrong. Of course a judge, who does not or will not make judgments, is an oxymoron.

Do you think the rural maple syrup farmer is the state's problem?

PLENTY of them vote Democrat and support Bernie Sanders. You are known by the company you keep. You affect THEIR bottom line, and MAYBE they'll come around. Notice how quickly Loew's, Wal-Mart, Target and others came around to "Merry Christmas" when pressure was applied. The same works here. Vermonters want to embrace this nonsense? Then they can do it WITHOUT my money. (...and I live nearby.)

Ok, I figured Vermont was like NY and other liberal beacons. Get away from the cities and it gets redder.

Anyway, hope you won't feel bad if I continue to buy the stuff. It's fantastic

"Letting someone out of prison after a long term of incarceration and making him register as a sex offender destroys any chance of his obtaining a decent job and being too busy working to re-offend; it only gives him a sentence of poverty, idleness, frustration, alcoholism, community scorn and other things not likely to lead to law abiding behavior."

It seems to me the focus is misplaced on the perpetrator. The well-being of the criminal should not be the issue. Society needs to protect itself especially in these cases where recidivism borders on certainty. Prison? OK. Castration? Even better! Death penalty? Fine with me! Just remove him/her from society until he/she is no longer a threat to another child.

Not at all. I would hope that you would always to be welcome to spend your money in any way you please.

I'd hate to be the one listening to and reading his messages the last day.

Rush just mentioned this story at the end of his show. Good.

[TinkersDam]

Life sentences, death sentences or even castration may indeed have merit, but those are not options the judge was faced with. He was faced with a short sentence or a long sentence and decided that long sentences don't work.

[razorback-bert]

It's that he wants to show off what he considers his moral superiority

True, it is the same with judges who give 600 years, three death penalties and double secret probation.

[Shooter1001]

Well, he's a damn fool or he's not paying attention to the objective. The primary objective is not to turn this SOB into a caring loving person safe to be in society. Its to remove him so that he can't repeat his heinous crime.
If a 60-day sentence was a tactic to get this guy treatment which, under local law would be denied to someone serving a longer prison term, then it was the wrong tactic for the wrong objective. Get this guy out of society and keep him out!
In this case a long long sentence will work quite well. He will not molest any children while he's in prison. Whether he wants to or not is not the issue.

"The one message I want to get through is that anger doesn't solve anything. It just corrodes your soul," Cashman told a packed Burlington courtroom made up mostly of people related to the victim.

The judge said that when he began 25 years ago, he handed down tough sentences but now believes "it accomplishes nothing of value."

"It doesn't make anything better; it costs us a lot of money; we create a lot of expectation, and we feed on anger," Cashman explained to the people in the court, WCAX reported.

Perhaps the judges words lose something in print. I first heard this in a video on FOX News where you could see his demeanor and hear his inflections. He sounded defensive and his words reflect an emotional personalisation of the subject. I think he is projecting the perp's identity onto his own.

Maybe he was just personalizing his role as judge in reaction to the criticism (kind of strange since he said this during sentencing not after) but after seeing and hearing him spew this crapola I'd give 100 to 1 odds he does little kids.

This guy should be closely watched for more than his judicial conduct.
