I don't understand outrage over Hobby Lobby selling stalks of cotton.


I know as a culture we're all into outrage now, but context matters.

I'm absolutely livid after reading this. A 12 year old girl. How in the world can this judge live with himself? Not only do I agree that this was most likely done as a way to cut back the girl's benefits but what kind of a monster releases the current address of somebody who was kidnapped and raped at 12 years old TO THE GUY WHO KIDNAPPED AND RAPED HER???

I can't even imagine what the trauma and subsequent pregnancy has done to that poor girl's life (I'd be shocked if she wasn't on food stamps, that's got to mess up a kid's life) and to come back 9 years later and grant joint custody to the man who kidnapped and raped her and never even requested any rights should be a crime. Does she have any legal recourse for giving her information away to the man who was convicted of kidnapping and raping her as a minor?

I don't actively wish any harm on this judge but if he were to get killed by a runaway bus tomorrow, I wouldn't shed a tear.

I saw that and assumed that their must be more to the story. No?

I mean...how do you get only 1 year and serve 7 months for kidnapping and child rape to begin with?

The guy was able to plea down to 'attempted sexual assault' or something and the judge said that as a first offender, a long jail sentence would just result in him coming out even more messed up and more likely to offend again. Complete BS especially since he did offend again and still only got four years somehow.
