Can you not buy small bullets in Australia?
Remember that 5 foot tall sex predator that was given a suspended sentence because he would have “difficulty being in prison” due to his short stature?
Nature played a dirty trick on me so you can’t hold me responsible for my actions.
BS
Sorry pal 97% of humans have some form of deformity. Sure most of them can not be easily identified by a casual observer and many of us may never know of our own deformity.
Life is hard for everybody.
Your life may be harder than mine but that does not give you carte blanch to abuse anyone’s person or rights. If you do you should be prosecuted and be held accountable for your actions just as anyone else.
Your deformity nor your illness give you any exemption from the law.
What would Owen Meany think?
If I get in trouble, just call me tiny.
“ranks serial abuse (26 cases we’re aware of!) “as middle of the scale in terms of seriousness.”
I think the writer has misconstrued the judge’s meaning. I believe “middle of the scale” is a reference to the severity of each individual act rather than the collective number. The acts aren’t described, but it sounds like it entailed fondling as opposed to rape. Else it’s hard to picture any of the victims acting nice to him in the aftermath etc. This isn’t to condone the behavior, but merely to observe that there is a continuum in the severity of assaults against women and it’s not inappropriate to take this into account when sentencing. If only fondling were involved, would anyone think it fair that the perp received the same punishment as someone found guilty of 26 instances of rape?
