Many different cultures practice this ancient tradition. It goes by many names. I read it in National Geographic.

He won’t spend a day in prison. He won’t have to register as a sex offender.

He’s special several different ways, but the controlling one is that leftists always skate on their felonies.

Come on Gunner,
Yoou really think they’d put this prevert in with really bad guys, murderers and rapists?
I figure maybe in with a bunch of accountants who’ve been caught doing bad.
Course I’d love to see his put in with a passel of MS13 fun and game types.

Anyone know what time Monday? Been waiting for some crooked Lib Democrat to actually get in-a-cell jail time. This might actually be one and counting.
