Kids for Cash

[Gasser64]

you'll notice I haven't replied to any of your posts for months now, but I'll reply to this one...

I do think it would be fitting... It would be eye for an eye...

I'm saying that I'm not sure that I believe in eye for an eye anymore... I don't know that I believe it is righteous to essentially torture a man who essentially tortured others.

Torturing somebody in punishment for their torture of another creates another torturer and another tortured on this earth... I contend the world would be better off with just one added "tortured", one fewer "torturer" versus adding yet another "tortured" and another "torturer"...

and that the energy focused on torturing the original torturer would be better focused on rehabbing the original tortured.

and that the easiest way to arrive at that would be to put the original torturer out of his AND OUR misery as quickly and humanely as possible

Its been inside of 1 month lol

I actually have to hit the "show post" button because I have you on ignore. Every once in awhile I'll read one though, if the thread and replies are interesting. Not meant to be some kind of insult, I just find things go more smoothly around here that way. Don't you?

Anyway I guess I'd have to agree, since I do believe in the constitution and no "cruel and unusual punishment". However, being that my brand of punishment would be within the bounds of the system, I can't say I'd call it "cruel". Maybe unusual. But it would just be prison time, which is what he is going to get anyway at this point. Not like strapping him to an anthill or putting him on the torture rack or something. I just believe in making an example out of people. Make the next guy think reeeeaaal hard before he decides its a good idea. Or just kill him, like you suggested. A nice humane hanging. That would also get the same message across, that I'd be going for. For me, its more about the message, than the punishment.

but we do not live in an ideal world (obviously )

so I want to change my stance...

being locked away in prison is a worse fate than death IMO, and it's not very spiritually enlightened of me to wish to torture another man for his sins...

I think he should be forgiven and killed.

(stance subject to change)

Well wait a minute now... how long were these sentences he gave these kids? A year? Two? Three? How about just lock him up for all the (unwarranted) sentences, combined. So if he doled out 200 years, and the little shits did fuck up, but only actually deserved a combined 50 years, then we can justify giving him 150 years. That's just an example, and not the actual numbers of course. You get the idea.

And, I'd think it would be a very fitting punishment, for the crime. He gets to serve all those years, or die trying. Since that's what he did to others. Or, if there is a maximum sentence for the kind of shit he pulled, and I imagine there is, just give him 10x the required sentence, since that's what he did to them. Make sure he knows that others are making money on his stay. The guy that shot the cop, hang his ass, since killing someone is the crime he committed. Sounds fair.

In what order?

I would say that killing him is forgiving him... what amounts to a life sentence is forcing him to beg for forgiveness in his own mind/soul until he dies while we pay to keep him alive.

yes, I realize that the death sentence is more expensive to us than life/38yrs, but in an ideal society, a TRUE justly applied death sentence is easier on all parties involved.

I know that if *I* had sold my soul in the form of unnecessarily traumatizing that many children that I would wish for death and that living with myself in prison for the rest of my natural life would indeed be hell on earth.

ugh... it's topics like this that remind me why I used to drink so much.

I watched a documentary about this POS called 'Kids for Cash'. He sentenced over 3000 kids to prison all for minor offenses.
Glad to find out he got and will get what is coming to him- federal pound me in the ass prison

you know the song he did with sheryl crow, quit lyin'.

I hate that stupid fucking song. That idiot is some kind of lowlife king of failed humble bargs. That song is like some kind of modern white trash anthem.

[svauto-erotic855]

^^^ That was all new to me, and it sucked.

And nobody gives a shit unless TMZ or their cell phone service is interrupted. We live in a pretty shitty world these days.

Oh and the latest study has the US falling faster on the "freedom" list than SVO toking and headbanging it to Kid Rock's "Poolman."

I like Kid Rock as a person but can not remember even one of his songs. Does he really have one called "Poolman"? I hope that I inspired him to write it if he does. I do not get high but I would if Willie offered me some.

This sort of thing is nothing new. Denton County has been doing this in waves with both juveniles and druggies for 30+ years and they have been caught over and over again but nothing is ever done. The most glaring example that I remember was every judge being on the take to send anyone with a drug case who had insurance to a "rehab" that would bill to the limits of the persons policy and then let them go.

This shit should be treason. Hang that mother fucker.

I'm going to count that as one more vote for the return of public hangings.
