Their real crime was having the wrong skin color.
180 bucks is not too much money.
You could get a part-time job and pay that within a month. Even if it means you shovel manure or something.
Meanwhile somewhere there is a woman going to prison for 40 because she
had sex with a 14 year old.
Sorry, but that’s just not right. The 14 year old did not suffer in any way. He’ll have good dreams about that forever.
The judge noted that although Willie’s father showed some remorse, his mother hardly shed a tear. “The court finds that the offenders have demonstrated a pattern of drug or alcohol abuse that is related to the offense,” said Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Judge Michael Astrab. “This is the one chance Ms. Hussing had to address this court. The anger that she showed toward her sister as opposed to telling this court why I shouldn’t put her in prison was appalling to me.” Wrong skin color? Too stupid more like it.
I was prepared for another religious-objection excuse, but this one’s nearly as bad. Great, however, for supporting Obamacare, and don’t think it won’t be used.
“Sorry, but that’s just not right. The 14 year old did not suffer in any way. He’ll have good dreams about that forever.”
Pedophilia should be a crime.
Can anyone guess the breed of the dog that got the flea treatment?
Money for fierce dogs and flea treatments, cigarettes and alcohol, for tattoos and piercings also no doubt - but no money for cancer treatments.
Yorkie?
That’s disgusting. Boys deserve protection from predators just the same as girls do.
Is it “The Breed of Peace”?
The Breed of “tear you to pieces”. ;)
I disagree. Venereal disease is likely in a woman with these proclivities. Also, for the Christian, if it applies here, the spiritual consequences are profound. The boy is wounded whether he knows it or feels it.
Thats pretty sick. A 14 year old is not emotionally ready for an adult relationship. gender doesn’t matter in this reguard !
People used to get married at that age.
Take your pedophiliac propaganda and stick it! You “attaboy” freaks make me sick.
Prosecutors say that while the boy was suffering, the parents claimed financial hardship but paid $87 to have a pit bull treated for fleas. Luskin said the dog belonged to Hissing’s parents and her parents paid for the treatment. His parents also couldn’t afford a marriage license, dirt poor?
Oh, so statutory rape and teachers preying sexually on 14-year old is a good thing? Unbelievable.
I bet if it was a 14-year old girl you wouldn't be making this sort of stupid comment.
Are you friends with Obama safe school czar Kevin Jennnings?

Usually those who try to promote statutory rape as a positive thing do it on a thread where that is the topic. Somehow the election season makes the loonies just go all out.
IBTZ
I thought there should be no reason not to treat a cancer patient even if they cant pay. I wonder what type of lawyer this couple had. They should of said we asked for help and there was none for us.
I dont care if the parent are complete loosers and druggies. Social services, a church, someone in that community should of stepped up and helped the kid.
Dont the homeless, illegal aliens goto emergency rooms and get treated???
