We still have it in Texas. When I was young, we had it for rape. Now that women have been liberated, we call it sexual assault and it’s treated like somebody got beat up. The old southern ideas about how to treat a woman have been swept under the liberal rug. Course, many of the old rapes involved blacks with white women and trees were involved. I guess they figure the woman would heal up and forget about it so they lowered the penalty.
Every state in the union use to have a crime called “assault on a woman”. Every state in the union used to have a crime called “crime against nature”. That was in a land far, far away. Now we treat women, EXACTLY LIKE A MAN, and treat degenerate homosexual predators as normal behavior. The next crime to be done away with will be “sex with a minor”, or “bestiality”. Both will be recognized as perfectly normal behavior in this immoral brave new world. Jesus weeps.
Am leaving soon but wanted to answer your post....
We’ve done such an injustice to people who have survived criminal assault, or lost family members. It’s terrible the suffering they go through while they watch our courts extend “swift justice” for years and years.
The criminal element today knows exactly how far they can push the boundaries because these are either non-existent or made of rubber and moves from one moment to the next.
Our nation today is upside down..right is wrong and wrong is right...bad is good and good is bad. A nation without the carrying through the laws..rather laws are made, tweaked and designed to protect the criminal element.
