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.
(Sorry.)

He loves me, he loves me not, oh what the heck he loves me...

It seems to resemble a bit of a 3rd grade crush. Mag said first grade ... but it's really less annoying that having my ponytail pulled. He loves me... after all, he keeps linking to me . He loves me not... evidently that's why he uses my comments out of context and twists my words... he loves me, because clearly he likes to "poke the bear" (That 70's Show quote). Yes, I just referred to myself as a bear. A lot less hairy, but no less scary. Because anyone that thinks you should be locked up for the rest of your life is indeed scary. Especially when she likes to go around telling everyone how demented you are... and how she'd like to see you locked up forever. And even more scary when you know that it's the truth she speaks. And Lindsay, he is demented. And he should be locked up forever. And, well it seems that he is a fan of mine. Yep, that sick lil monkey can't help himself. He reads this here blog (which is a hint that you should share your thoughts...

Mom Arrested After Baby Found Mauled By Dogs

This is a story that I really don't want to share, it angers me all the while breaking my heart at how someone could be so cold and callous. My only comment is that there is always a better way. Some may of thought of going to the hospital, others may have thought about calling someone- anyone for help. But the complete disregard this person showed is horrifing. PORTSMOUTH, Ohio -- Investigators said the badly-mauled body of a newborn infant was found Tuesday afternoon on the banks of the Ohio River. The next day, the baby's 21-year-old mother was arrested after admitting to a hidden pregnancy. The mother told investigators that the baby was still-born at home. She said she panicked and disposed of the baby boy a few miles from her home, NBC 4's Erin Tate reported. The investigation began after authorities received a 911 call from a frantic mother. Dispatcher: "911, what's your emergency?" Caller: "My kids were just outside, telling me that the dog was ch...
