Not to sound like a mysogynist here, but, I notice that the judge is a woman. Why do so many women assume that the gun makes the person do bad things? I know there are women out there who are smarter than that; Nicki Fellenzer is one. But there does seem to be a trend.
How can it possibly be, that this Nation has went from being at the Forefront of Justice, to now, apparently, the Tail end? And this in my life time? (I'm 44).
I know Justice is supposed to be 'blind', but that doesn't mean it has to be IGNORANT! Nor should it be ALLOWED to continue being IGNORANT!
Some reliable and practical method of Judicial accountiblity needs set into place. And soon! This is supposed to be one of OUR safeguards! An ignorant and corrupt system is can hardly be considered a 'safeguard'!
There is just so much wrong here. The judge is either corrupt or insane. There can be no other explanation.
If she determined that the man ambushed three people wounding all, one fatally, with malice aforethought, which the staging of guns at prior to the meet would seem to bear out the sentence is way too light. Hence she has been bought.
If she blames the guns for the killings, as she stated, she is insane. If the guns were to blame in her mind and she sentenced people to prison, then she is insane for incarcerating an innocent person while letting a guilty gun go free. Oh my crying Chr... , oh you know, that is more a prayer than a curse. I am afraid I may be infected just for saying this. Is insanity contagious?
There are only two options. She is insane for blaming inanimate objects, but punishing those helpless under their thrall, or she is corrupt for allowing this to be tried as a manslaughter case and passing such an inappropriate sentence.
Either way she is unfit for polite company. She damn sure shouldn't be sitting in judgment of others.
You know David, straightarrow has a point on which we need to expand;
"Is insanity contagious?"
Judging from the inconceivable prevalance of the condition. It can indeed be considered as an infectious malady.
Having determined that. We must, therefore, consider the 'cure' for this insidious disease.
You know in France they used the guillotine as a means to, shall we say, 'cut-off' the problem. The lessons of history can have it's purposes in the present!
Now don't lose your head over this. As Al Gore once said "It's a terrible ...... uh, er...thing to lose one's mind."
I don't think he got the United Negro College Fund vote that year. I don't think the guillotine thing will work on this problem. How would we ever be able to discern whether or not it had an effect on some of these hollow headed harlots of histrionics?
You'd have to cut a lot of heads, David. At any given time in history, I'd say the vast majority are insane, if by that you mean disconnected from reality and blindly accepting of the dogma of the period. That's why they used to burn people for suggesting--just maybe--things weren't as heliocentric as "authoritah" said they were...
So, as sorry as I am to say this, you and I are the crackpots and mental defects--if we are to use global societal norms as the benchmark...
I'm reading a book about when WW1 started. In it,are descriptions as to how astounded most people were that the general war with it's attendant atrocities had broken out in Europe. Particularly in the U.S., in colleges. They were all convinced that man and machine had progressed to the point that, war, with it's horrors and expense, had become "obsolete". It was unthinkable,irrational,incomprehensable.Yet it happened, and many a professor lost his "faith" in humanity and its' ability to rise above the fray of base ambition. Case in point, the present. This nation, blessed with food,shelter,clothing,transportation,communication,industry,health care,everything in stupendous quantities. If you are in need of the basics in this country, and you don't find some way of getting it,you're either a complete idiot, or you don't really want it. Ancient Israel had the same dilemna. Abundance almost always produces an abundance of satiation and apathy. Fat,lazy,listless. Enter crime, national aggression, war,danger. As long as there are people who can sit on the sidelines,they can decry the violence,demonize whomever and whatever they want,and continue to pontificate on high about the loftier goals of brotherhood,and the victory of the proletariat. I guess it was Franklin(?) that said something about tyranny and it's evil prospering until all were as affected by it's injustice as the few who were at it's beginnings. And so it is. I don't think any judges, college professors, politicians, government hacks, cops,lawyers,media bums, or rap "artists" lately have missed any meals, or gone to bed exhausted from a tough days work. Most are fat,happy,lazy,and content to remain that way. If someone is upset with the status quo (that !!#@$#$@% Latin again) they just use their considerable power to quash the dissent, and continue to march off to socialist hell.
