When size shouldn't matter...

There are times when size matters. Like when you take your kids to the Amusement park, and it turns out that the ride they've been dying to get on has a height restriction about two inches above where the top of the kid's head is. Or, when a robber runs out the door of a convenience store, and passes one of those nifty little stickers that help discern their height.
Then there are times when I don't care how short or tall you are... you need to be locked up in jail. One of those times happens to be when you sexually abuse a child. Sadly, not everyone sees things that way.
A judge said a 5-foot-1 man convicted of sexually assaulting a child was too small to survive in prison, and gave him 10 years of probation instead.

His crimes deserved a long sentence, District Judge Kristine Cecava said, but she worried that Richard W. Thompson, 50, would be especially imperiled by prison dangers.

Rarely do I cuss here. I do it a lot when I'm reading the stories, even a lot when I am writing them. But I always attempt to not type them. However... I can't find no way to better articulate my thoughts on this than to use one simple word. Forgive me, but: BULLSHIT. Too short to go to jail???

I come in at a nice 5 foot 2, 5'3 if I stand really straight and stretch a bit, and fluff my hair up. An inch shorter isn't much of a big deal. And after you've lived most of your life being on the shorter end of things... you're sort of use to it. It's not a reasonable excuse as to why one shouldn't go to jail. I can't imagine what this WOMAN judge was thinking- and to be honest it's a far fetched claim to even say she was thinking at all.

Thankfully, I'm not alone in my feeling that this is complete bull**** as CUG forwarded this to me, so I'm pretty certain that he feels like I do, Mag's covered it on her site, and Trench has added it to the News of Doom, so we know it's really that bad.

I was just saying on News of Doom that I saw this story earlier today and thought it was a joke. I'm still having difficulty believing it's true!

I do indeed feel as you do.
The judge says he would be imperiled in prison?

What about all the kids she is imperilling by letting this animal go free?

What a moron.

What bullshit.

Florida Sex Offender Registry

Reading the news today, I was taken back to see that the Florida Sex Offender registry was being criticized. Having had the chance to look at it previously, I had always found it rather informative, and well organized. The issue that many are having with it now wouldn't be noticed by the occasional browser on the site. Which makes it even worse. A review of the FSR has found some rather unsettling statistics: The News-Press analyzed the Florida Department of Law Enforcement database of 36,306 sex offenders and found: • 9,205 of them are incarcerated • 7,037 have run away or can't be found • 824 have been deported; and • 516 are dead. Of the 15,573 sex offenders listed as released and not on parole or probation, only 11,355 of those actually live in Florida. Sex offender registries can only be usefully, and only fully do what they where designed to do when they are updated, maintained and monitored continuously. When you are relying on the SO registries to monitors how safe your...

This land is my land, this land is not your land...

I was reading the illegal immigrant news this morning... you know, all about the Spanish National anthem... and all about their big rally May 2... and I started thinking. Perhaps, just perhaps we need to stand up. It may be a really good time to remind everyone who's country this is. 12 million illegals... heh, I think we can beat that. The rough estimate is that the US has a population of 298,000,000, or close too it. Take away the estimated 12 million illegals, and we still have 286,000,000 give or take some. So, basically, if one were to be honest- a boycott by legal citizens would be more impressive. 12 million illegals, who can not legally vote verses 286 million citizens who can minus children and some criminals. My country. Not theirs. My taxes, my jobs, my political leaders. 286 million people should be able to remind law makers just who put them in office. 286 million people should be able to remind companies who buys their products. 286 million people should be able to si...

WTW Someone Please Help Us

There's so much to work with, I'm going to just hit as much as I can. Ashely Simpson decided to pick a fight at McDonald's. Betting millions that if the employee would just go and get the manager- the manager would just love her. Simpson's climbing on the counter and irate behavior where in typical White Trash Style. Great coverage at Stereogum. Tom Cruise has decidedly canned his sister for her inability to help him keep his mouth shut. Evidently he needs a real professional as his PR person- in order to keep him in line. It's just not right firing family because you're and idiot. Kate Hudson is suing someone because of photos of her in which she looks like a starving actress. She claims the images suggest she has a eating disorder- no Kate, it's not the images, it's the you. One should not sue because they have starved themselves to the point of it being noticeable in photos. Please stop by these other great sites to read more WHITE TRASH WEDNESDAY B...
