Free at last, free at last.

I was treated like this by a boy in high school. I wouldn’t have wanted him arrested but boy if I had it to do over, I’d kick him as hard as I could. Between his legs.

[Las Vegas Ron]

Never should have gone as far as it did. Rediculous.

[taxcontrol]

When I was growing up, this sort of behavior was “controlled” by the alpha males (jocks, JROTC and FFA) at school. With the clear understanding that such would not be tolerated.

[lady lawyer]

Actually, touching a female’s breast or buttocks qualifies as sexual assault in most jurisdictions. I think males who do this should go to jail. And, apparently, these guys did it repeatedly.

[rednesss]

Just males, huh???? So a 3 year old male who does that should go to jail??? Do you have some boundaries to your draconian views????

[A_Tradition_Continues]

I think males who do this should go to jail.

Should the same standard apply to females?

[rednesss]

Problem solved.

[JRochelle]

Common sense isn’t a strong point for you I see.

[Snardius]

...and to complete a "boundaries education" program.

IOW, Liberal Re-Education Camp

[rednesss]

Of course not, don’t be silly.

[Lazamataz]

Now the prosecuter needs to be dismissed.

A sillier case, I have never heard.

[lady lawyer]

Yeah. There are boundaries. These boys were old enough to know better, and to know that there were sexual implications to what they were doing. That’s was the law requires.

They weren’t just being “cute.”

[lady lawyer]

Actually, yeah. If a woman grabbed a man’s genitals, that would be sexual assault, as well.

[rednesss]

What do you mean?? Or do you just toss around ad hominem attacks??? Or is civil debate not a strong point for you???

You want to send 13-year-old boys who have committed no violent offenses, to jail.

We need less lawyers, especially ones like you -- and more cannon fodder to probe for IED's in Iraq.

Be a patriot!

[rednesss]

So by your reasoning, the new age of consent should be 13 because they “know better” at that age????

[JRochelle]

You said 3 year old. Thats implausible and not even realistic.

No one with a brain would ever arrest a toddler for any such thing.

[Snardius]

I think males who do this should go to jail.

I think women who believes the slightest infraction between males and females should result in a jail sentence should lighten up.

If a man fondles you and you didn't want him to, slap him in the face or find someone "woman enough" to do it for you.

Let's send all male breast-fed babies to jail, too. They certainly grab at a female's breasts.

That's what is wrong with our legal system today -- no common sense.
