Weiner cannot be incarcerated for long enough to punish him for what he's done.
Former Congressman Anthony Weiner (D HELL), was sentenced to 21 months in prison for sexting an underage teen and asking her to perform sexual acts on Skype and Snapchat.
The New York Daily News published a fairly arresting courtroom sketch of his sentencing:
While crying and grabbing tissue after tissue, Weiner asked for probation for his crimes. From the NYDN:
I victimized a young person who deserved better, Weiner said in court. I am not asking that I be trusted I ask you for the opportunity on probation to keep my sworn oath.
Judge Denise Cote was unmoved. This was a serious crime, and its a serious crime that deserves serious punishment, she said.
The 21-month sentence seems the least we can do to punish Anthony Weiner. People have been very focused on the political fallout from his behavior, but lets not lose sight of the actual victim here. Anthony Weiner did not fall for jail bait. Weiner sexted a 15-year-old, AFTER he knew she was 15, and encouraged her to perform sexually explicit acts for his enjoyment. His conduct was gross and CLEARLY criminal. This is not about a famous man sending dick-pics out into the ether. This is about a 53-year-old man having an illicit relationship with a known 15-year-old. This is Humbert Humbert with a smartphone. It is not okay.
But I mean Jesus the political fallout from Anthony Weiners behavior is MASSIVE when you think about it. You dont have to believe in chaos theory to draw the line here: if Anthony Weiner does NOT sext a 15-year-old, Hillary Clinton IS PROBABLY the first woman president. James Comey is probably still the director of the F.B.I. The government is protecting itself from foreign influence in our elections, instead of trying to pretend that it never happened. Were not at war with North Korea.
Can you make an argument that all these things would have happened anyway? Sure. But as proximate causes go, Anthony Weiner is one hell of a Long Island Railroad employee.
Anthony Weiners penis is the Archduke Ferdinand of this timeline. His masturbatory fantasies are now in the Pantheon of historical what ifs.
He should be crying. We all should be crying. Anthony Weiner was sentenced for engaging in sexually explicit behavior with an underage girl. But Weiner sentenced America to 248 days (and counting) of total incompetence. He is a monster.
Oh, that thing your sucking on? It’s not a piña colada!
As I understand it, the Federal discount is 15% for good behavior which, in his case, would probably include not being caught masturbating, a difficult rule for him to comply with in the fairly open setting of a minimum security facility where the inmates are often placed in cubicles, not cells.
I doubt his longevity if he’s put in with the general population.
I was waiting for someone to notice. Weiner’s real sin according to the author is preventing the election of Hillary! and “sentencing America to total incompetence”. Of course President Trump is able to successfully get himself into an SUV without assistance from his SS detail.
I remember always seeing the artists renditions of courtrooms before cameras became more widespread.
I see no problem with that.
The big question now is what “club Fed” will he be sent to?
Oddly enough, I think he should be sent to an orderly, minimum security prison, because otherwise the inmates wouldn’t tolerate him. I wouldn’t care much if they smote him, but he needs to remain the millstone around the neck of his “wife”.
Yes it is, exactly!
However, I attribute the whole Trump outcome as a monumental miracle from God.
Too many inexplicable things stopped Hillary, including her failure to visit Wisconsin, blow off Michigan, etc. She knew better than that. She was too sick to care and too consumed with presumption and arrogance to bother. A miracle.
Turning on Hitlery would change his 21 month sentence to the death penalty.
No such luck. He'll be in the white collar section with embezzlers and fraudsters, not with muggers, robbers, enforcers, and other violent thugs.
Some County jails are worse.
I think the judge delayed incarceration to give him a chance to commit Arkancide.
We shall see.
21 month sentence, doesn’t report until November, time off for good behavior, take advantage of programs that serial sex offenders are offered, and he will be out in less than 12 months. What a farce.
Chuckie learned it from Cry Baby Boehner!
Hi, my name is Anthony Weiner, what’s your name?
