Chozo , in Florida student who assaulted school employee over Nintendo Switch gets 5 years in prison

I'm normally not one to champion extreme prison sentences, but 5 years really doesn't seem like enough in this case. I remember seeing the video, and it's clear that the kid has some major issues that aren't going to be solved by a few years of prison time. He kept attacking her after it was clear she was already unconscious; whether it's over a video game or not, that is not healthy behavior. Most people know, even in high-stress self defense situations, that once somebody is unconscious, you don't keep attacking them. He had no issue attacking somebody he knew was completely defenseless. That's sociopathic behavior.

Most people don't come out as better people because prison does nothing to actually rehabilitate people, but I can't imagine this doesn't make him even worse. He needs to be hospitalized, otherwise in 5 years we'll probably see his name in the news again.

VelvetStorm ,

I’d say prison and thearpy would be better. Those hospitals they send people to are in a lot of cases worse than prison because the people there have even less rights and there is even less oversight.

Viking_Hippie ,

it’s clear that the kid has some major issues that aren’t going to be solved by a few years of prison time

Correct. Imprisonment of a 17yo with mental health issues is guaranteed to make things worse. He needs psychiatric treatment and behavioral therapy, not caging, to become able to properly function in civilized society.

Prison life will only reinforce his violent impulses, making SURE that he’s fucked up for life.

I can’t imagine this doesn’t make him even worse. He needs to be hospitalized, otherwise in 5 years we’ll probably see his name in the news again.

Agreed.

sunzu ,

How is this different from any violent criminal?

Zero pity for somebody beating a teacher who can't fight back. At some point we gonna need to start dealing with this issue because whatever is going on right clearly is not working.

Why would anyone want to be a teacher in this clown ass society where the perp gets more sympathy then the public servant who was brutally beat and nobody did anything about it.

Y'all are fucking disgusting.

Viking_Hippie ,

He has mental issues. Is it that you didn’t read or that you didn’t care?

Zero pity

Right. Guess that answers that 🤦

At some point we gonna need to start dealing with this issue because whatever is going on right clearly is not working.

And what is going on right now is prison making the mental health and therefore behavior of offenders with mental issues MUCH WORSE.

Even if you have no empathy with someone who isn’t able to function properly acting out horribly, from a purely practical perspective of “let’s do something to prevent this kind of thing from happening again”, therapy is infinitely more effective than prison at that

where the perp gets more sympathy then the public servant who was brutally beat

Sympathy isn’t the point.

You said yourself that whatever is going on right now clearly isn’t working.

What is going on right now is that there’s only very few and expensive resources available to make sure that nothing like this horrific attack can happen.

Then when it DOES happen, they try to fix it by forcing the perpetrator into an extremely violent environment rife with abuse from fellow inmates and guards alike.

Then when that torture doesn’t help anyone, juvenile offenders become lifers and everyone gives up on them just like they do with the majority of adults who are imprisoned.

sunzu ,

We have higher priority people for whom we can't get any help... ie most homeless people are not visible and helping them would cost a lot less money per head.

No can't do that... now you are suggesting state waste resources on this trash?

Y'all need to get some context and priorities straight. I don't disagree with having a proper social policy but we don't have that right now. So this clown goes to prison where they will beat him until he is unconscious and nobody will care.

Pity ended when violence started. Also I reviewed transcripts... this piece of shit really should have been taken out of school system earlier. The disregard for teacher safety in public education is beyond clown status. That's the real issue here, not this trash being send to prison.

He said he wanted to kill her, should have been charged with attempted murder.

Viking_Hippie ,

Ignoring your fascist-sounding “higher priority people” for now, it’s not an either/or proposition.

The unhoused should DEFINITELY receive more and better assistance as well.

suggesting state waste resources on this trash?

Ok, you’re sounding more and more bigoted by the sentence, I’m starting to reconsider engaging in the first place…

this piece of shit

Yup, that’s about the amount of quite likely racially motivated dehumanizing I’m gonna put up with. Go fuck yourself.

sunzu ,

yes we should waste resources because your opinion is that violent criminal is higher priority than working people who can't afford rent lol

again we got the clown society we deserve with reasoning like this.

cheers.

Varyk , in Powerful former North Dakota lawmaker pleads guilty to traveling to Europe to pay for sex with minor

The age of consent in the Czech Republic is 15 years old, so minors there are even younger than you might be thinking.

The amount of Republicans getting caught doing sick shit is astounding to me. Like is being a paedophile some kind of precursor to becoming a right-wing politician???

Varyk , (edited )

It’s difficult to find an explanation for the partisan support of objectively harmful conservative political movements like restricted health care(public/”free” healthcare is cheaper, saves time, is sustainable) unless(Occam) they care much more about themselves than others and they place their comfort and desires above the comfort of others.

That type of person, who will actively vote against helping others for no practical reason, is the type of person who would victimize a child for any selfish “reason” like their own sexual gratification.

If it benefits them, they don’t care what happens to their victims or anyone else.

That tendency fits perfectly into the conservative political mindset.

It’s the conservative mantra: “me first, and to hell with the rest of 'em!”

gramie ,

I think that you are reading too much into it. The reason they vote against the public good, like universal healthcare, is because they are paid lots of money to do so.

Varyk ,

after they become politicians, sure.

This was more about why so many people who become conservative politicians end up getting caught for victimizing others.

the victimizing type of person is naturally drawn toward a group of people that care about themselves or money more than the community or even other people.

If you want to be a politician to make things better for everyone, you join the progressives, but if you want to be a politician to make things better for yourself only, then the conservative party and its values is the obvious group.

There’s only one thing the gop loves more than LOUD projection and that’s abusing kids. The party of the grand ol’ pedophiles

oktoberpaard ,

In many countries the age of consent depends on the context. By the looks of it, the Czech Republic is one of those countries:

The age of sexual consent in the Czech Republic is 15.

Additionally, the section of the Czech penal code 40/2009 Sb. covering “crimes against family and children” contains § 202 which criminalizes a “seduction to sexual intercourse” of any persons under 18 years by any promise or provision of payment, benefit, privilege or profit, for sexual intercourse, masturbation, exposure or similar behavior.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ages_of_consent_in_Europe

LarmyOfLone ,

Yeah the law is more concerned with abuse of power dynamic so relations between <18 year olds and teachers, doctors or otherwise parental guardians or tutorship or use of money or other “seductions” are illegal.

worldwidewave , in Laura Ingraham claims Milwaukee is in Minnesota and is roasted online for the gaffe

Ingraham said Walz has a “tiny brain” and slammed his handling of the chaotic aftermath of George Floyd’s murder in his state. Ingraham then said: “Sure, Tim Walz was a popular teacher but listen to him for five minutes on YouTube and you realize why so many high schoolers don’t know much about the constitution. They learn from people like Walz.”

Ironically, Ingraham seems to not know much about the US states. Later in the show, she told two panelists: “If you know Minnesota well, and I know it well — especially Milwaukee — it’s changed.”

“I know it well”, the sheer confidence in the middle of getting a basic geography fact wrong. Just perfect.

NegativeInf ,

We need to have people renew their Highschool diploma every 5 years like we do for drivers licenses.

disguy_ovahea ,

They should also have to pass a certification exam to use self-checkout. If it’s too hard for you to do it without making the customer assistance light flash, they have cashiers that will do it for you.

MagicShel ,

Sure but also us older folks over 20 are allowed to buy alcohol and that always flashes the light. And sometimes they have to randomly check a thing you’ve scanned to make sure you aren’t scamming. And sometimes it double scans and, while you can remove the item, they still need to input their ID - they trust you to scan everything, but not to unscan it.

Like, sure, there are people who struggle, but I’m not sure the customer service light flashing is indicative of the issue.

NegativeInf ,

If you need to buy alcohol, why are you at Walmart? Go to specs like a normal drunkard. /s

MagicShel ,

Alcohol is just part of the weekly grocery budget. We mostly get it at Costco to buy in bulk, but not everything we need is there.

catloaf ,

Those things freak out at the smallest problem. I’ve had them call for help because a UPC wasn’t in the system, a discount barcode didn’t scan, because I used a coupon, because I brought my own bags…

njm1314 ,

Oh God that sounds horrible. I’ve forgotten so much math. I mean algebra and calculus are probably still hanging on but past that who knows?

NegativeInf ,

The general public doesn’t really need more beyond algebra and precal normally in day to day. I would be fine with it being more general in the maths section.

There was a couple in NY targeting LGS over accessibility of their websites. It caused a number of the shops to close rather than trying to fight the case. I shut down my shop’s e-commerce site.

SeaJ , in Trump keeps calling Harris ‘Kamabla’ but nobody seems to know the meaning behind it

I assume he is simply being a dick but he won’t admit to that. The alternatives are he is either going deaf and can’t read or his memory is so bad that he can’t remember someone’s name that he has heard a million times. Both of those options should disqualify him for presidency.

North Dakotan (rural values!, family values!), and of course Republican, enjoys gay sex with children. This is what they (Republicans) mean when they talk about how much they love kids.

I didn’t really need to look it up but did in case the answer was surprising. It’s not surprising. He is a Republican.

With such genius gems as "bigrant crime" he's probably trying to smash "black" onto her name after the whole "she suddenly became black" horseshit

Dagamant , in Trump holds seemingly pointless press conference filled with false claims

It was weird. He set up a surprise conference to rant and lie for an hour. I think he is starting to think he might lose.

Empricorn ,

I think it’s simpler than that: Trump sees Harris/Walz is getting much more attention and bigger rally audiences than him. Which is weird. Maybe he’s too old and should just drop out…

magnetosphere , in Trump keeps calling Harris ‘Kamabla’ but nobody seems to know the meaning behind it

He probably doesn’t remember what it means. He only has a dull recollection that it was hurtful/insulting/“funny”, so sticks with it.
