We're the Only Ones Getting Away With Shocking Stuff Enough

The sentence handed down by U.S. District Judge Casey Rodgers -- in the case of a former Escambia County deputy found guilty of repeatedly shocking an innocent woman with a Taser -- is itself shocking.

Six months of house arrest, 50 hours of community service, five years on probation and a $3,000 fine?

The judge had tough words for Charles Dix, but the sentence didn't match them.

In other developments, it also looks like our "Only Ones" Carnival's Big Top ring master was placed on probation and had to write a letter. Harsh doesn't begin to describe it.

I guess that's why they're "The Only Ones" and we're not.

Pretty tame, when you consider a mother just got two years for throwing a cup of ice at someone who cut her off in traffic.

But as you say, she's not one of "The Only Ones."
