Wife abuser sentenced to six months. Woman’s subjugation ‘appalling’ judge says.
6 months for an ‘appalling’ crime, I thought? Can’t be that appalling. But read on and if you have a stomach for abuse and cruelty, you will have to agree that the abuse the woman suffered was truly appalling. Am I the only one to think that six months imprisonment is a joke in light of the circumstances?
I was wondering… What if the same man had inflicted the same violence to a by-stander — man or woman — on the street, in a club, or on a bike path? Regardless of the fact that such violence all in one dose would likely have killed the recipient; do you think the man would have gotten away with 6 months imprisonment had the victim not been his wife? So what are the attenuating circumstances? He knew the woman? She thought it was okay? She tolerated it? He managed not to kill her?
And then what? Will 6 months in jail turn him into a respectful man or a loving husband? Will the woman be better off once her husband returns after 6 months in jail?
So many questions. So little time.

Standard practice for our “justice system”. Judge talks about how appalling the crime is and then gives a slap on the wrist. The guy gets 6 months and he’ll probably be out in 2 (or less since time served before sentencing counts double). Why do we even bother arresting people anymore?
At least Harper was TRYING to get some sense in the legal (not justice) system, but the left scuttled that. The usual “hug a thug” mentality.
I am a law abiding citizen, but have no respect for the law. Why should I? Why should anybody? The courts are a joke and the judges – no I am not going to use words like that. Let’s just say that respect has to be earned and so far I would have a real problem calling a judge “Your Honour.” That would be breaking the commandment: “thou shalt not give false witness.” How can you call someone you despise “your Honour?” Well, I keep my nose clean, so it probably will never happen.
Gee, I wonder what kind of sentence he’ll get when he gets out and finally kills her?
Complete madness. Are these judges on crack, or what?
