[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, he's a dirtbag, but so is the judge who decided a long prison sentence would have too severe an impact on him.  [b]Severe impact is exactly what this guy needs, not just a quick time out[/b].  [/quote]

Exactly![/quote]

I agree both that the dude is a dirt bag and that he deserved a longer sentence. I do have some concern when sentences like these are criticized on the grounds of racial and wealth disparity. If the problem is that judges can't adequately empathize with disadvantaged groups, then the issue is that the disadvantaged groups are getting sentences that are too harsh, not that privileged white people are getting sentences that are too lenient. Its less of an issue here because the sentence was too lenient regardless of the defendant's background.[/quote]

Your mental gymnastics have yielded one of the dumbest arguments I think anyone will come up with in this thread. People like you and your myopic view of this country is exactly what's wrong . It's been well documented and the research is there to prove that African Americans and poorer minorities are given harsher sentences for the same crimes committed by Caucasians , irrespective of the Caucasians socio economic status . This is the legacy of slavery, white supremacy , segregation and the ensuing institutionalized racism that denied African Americans basic dignity and rights and promoted the image of the violent , never do well and perpetually up to no go good people . Add to that , centuries of non stop depiction of these racist images and stereotypes fed by white patents to their kids , who go on to become prosecutors , judges, teachers , bankers .......you get the drift . 
     So, unless you've spent your whole life living in a cave , I suggest you start by learning this country's history again as opposed to making an ass of yourself . The above paragraph was meant to put aside that lie that you're trying to spread that race and background had nothing to do with the verdict . You can't prove , or provide statistics showing me that , if that monster had been African American , Latino or Muslim this travesty of a judge would've gone out of his way to render such a mockery of a verdict . Here's a guy who was found guilty on all three counts , but yet in his verdict the judge seemed to be more concerned about his well being than the woman whose life he destroyed . So if it isn't race and background which is it? I look forward to apologists pulling some obscure case with statistical insignificance to make themselves relevant . The sentence would never have been this lenient if that rapist wasn't as pale faced as the judge . There's enough paper trail to prove . In fact, I suspect that you know this all too well, but assholes like you have vested interests in pretending that institutional racism ( this case illustrates that perfectly ) doesn't exist . After all, this country was never set up for anyone other than Caucasian males to succeed . This middle aged lake faced Caucasian make is honest to recognize it. [/quote]
