I'm guessing he crossed the line when he planned a meeting with a supposed hitman.tkioz said:hmmm while not defending this scum bag, he's earned what he's got, however I've mad jokes about wanting people knocked off before, once or twice, where is the line drawn between a real threat and a joke?
I mean honestly I've told my best friend "you sing that song again and I'll murder you in your sleep", we both knew it was a joke, but do the cops?
Having a rape victim is certainly malice though. Guess we're "lucky" *shudders* that the media didn't see Bookface and blame it on "THOSE EVIL SOCIAL NETWORKING SITES!".Del-Toro said:That doesn't change the fact that he is stupid. Raping someone isn't something that can be attributed to stupidity, it's something that can be attributed to a moral flaw. Trying to hire someone to kill your rape victim over facebook can be attributed to stupidity.The_root_of_all_evil said:I'd say this guy was stupid, but that would take away from the horrifying acts he'd already engaged in.
hahahaha I sniggered (and I was about to mention the breeding, or not to, part lol)Croaker42 said:Oh it certainly is........WaywardHaymaker said:Isn't that more Craigslist territory?
I am surprised this guys sentence is so light. I mean shouldn't they add time for being a dumbass?
I can only hope that something happens that stops this person from breeding ever.
Some times the parents or society are to blame. This time it could be both and the fact that this guy was hit with the stupid branch.
The way the american legal system works starts with "Can you afford a lawyer?" If the answer is no, then the state provides one for you. However, these lawyers (public defenders) are NOT interested in your defense first. They are interested in completing the trial in the most expedient means possible. As a result, if you are ever seated with a public defender, they will give you a run down of your options should the case go to trial. They will tell you that is a case goes to trial, you will face X to XX number of years in prison if convicted. However, admitting guilt will almost always assure significantly less prison time.Croaker42 said:I am surprised this guys sentence is so light. I mean shouldn't they add time for being a dumbass?

Is that really true that Stephen Fry offered to pay for his legal charges?The_root_of_all_evil said:There's a definite difference between Paul Chambers [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twitter_Joke_Trial] and some tool that asks someone to kill the girl he's just raped. And then asks again while the police are near.tkioz said:I mean honestly I've told my best friend "you sing that song again and I'll murder you in your sleep", we both knew it was a joke, but do the cops?
