sexual assault is a serious crime.
Well I am laughing at this one, sorry.
"sexual assault is a serious crime."
Feminazi hogwash! The seriousness of the crime depends on the seriousness of the assault.
The punishment definitely did not fit the crime. What he did was embarrassing and degrading, so do something embarrassing and degrading to him -- like force him to do community service wearing a t-shirt that reads "I can't keep my hands to myself." Force him to watch Doris Day movies (I think there are fanny slaps there) while undergoing electroshock aversion therapy. Make him go to sensitivity training, anger management counseling, something -- but don't deprive him of his liberties (and his family of his provision) for one slap on the butt. That seems extreme.
If he doesn't learn his lesson and commits another drive-by fanny slap, by all means, hang him by his thumbs.
All men must be killed. Who needs them when you have sperm banks? I'm with you on this one.
Don't visit Rome, sweetie!
