RE: Sending Someone to Prison for an Extended Period of Time, Does Nothing To Rehabilitate Them.

Where is the feminist protesting of this sexist and biased sentencing?

crickets

"Joe Tores and Kayla Norton were sentenced to 13 years and 6 years in prison respectively"

PS - What were they charged for, being asses? What's the crime, yelling? Smells like thought-crime to me.

Sort:  

""Torres, who had retrieved a shotgun from his vehicle, pointed his shotgun at the group of African American party-goers and stated he was going to kill them while his co-defendants stated that 'the little ones can get one too,' referring to the young children at the party," the statement said." -- http://www.cnn.com/2017/02/27/us/georgia-couple-confederate-flags-threats/index.html

Pointing guns at people has consequences.

Yeah, that seems pretty normal. This is interesting:

"They are both banished from Douglas County when they're released from prison."

"For making racist threats and driving past an African American child’s birthday party with trucks weaving confederate flags. They shouted racist insults at party goes and ultimately were captured on camera which helped to convict them."

So, to clarify, we're dealing with some sort of hate-crime statute here which has criminalized insulting people with over 10 years in prison for men? (and, apparently, 6 for women)
