I don't know whether to consider these women very Christian in their behavior - or very stupid.

Opinions or comments anyone?

Perhaps they want him out so they can get him again, lol

I would hate to be in prison and have to explain that I was there because a bunch of beauticians wupped the cr*p out of me.

ROTFLOL!!!

Well, going easy could be up to 50 years in prison instead of 203. Or maybe after taking a look at him they decided he'd had enough. Stitches for 21 cuts? WHOA! And that doesn't count all the other injuries. You go girls. I guess I'd lean towards Christian.

"their victim" ????

Must be some kind of Newspeak.

They are not asking for aquittal. They are saying 5 to 10 years. Hey, there are murderers who get out in less than that. Nothing wrong with the victims of a crime having their say in punishment.

I will say it again, Women are definitely the most vicious, most vindictive, and most violent of our species. This might not be true very often, but threaten a women or her child and find out what happens. Look at the feminazis, amazons or powerful women throughout history.

203 years is a bit harsh, 200 years is just about right!

I know Judge Creighton he will not give him the MInimum sentence thats for sure

Okay, I may get flamed for this, but I think the ladies' behavior is very female. Once they'd eliminated the threat, they started empathizing and then sympathizing with the perpetrator. I'll bet they feel partly responsible for the suffering he's about experience, and believe he could be rehabilitated (even, in extreme cases, by the love of a good woman). Not all women would respond this way, of course, but I think a sizeable percentage (maybe 2/3?) would.

Men, even if they thought the sentence was excessive, would be more likely to shrug and say, "Don't do the crime..." Men are more likely to focus on the cause-and-effect of the situation, and less likely to get emotionally involved in it.

""Five years, 10 years max," she said. "I think that would be enough time to give a young man time to think about what he did.""

--- Yeah, give the prep enough time to think about getting bullets for the gun

Curious why this "local" story all the way up river in Shreveport is in the New Orleans newpaper. Possible the perp poor displaced Noliner?
