The law frowns upon retribution, but when the victim receives no justice, what then? How are people to trust in the justice system when the victim isn't considered, as is apparently the law in Vermont?

Oh... and Hulett's friend is out on bond. The girl told the truth, he admitted it - and he's out of jail with strict warnings not to go near children.

They need to take retribution against the Judge.

"The media coverage has been criticized by some who have studied the case. Republican Rep. Michael Kainen, a lawyer and the ranking member of the Judiciary Committee in the Vermont House, said Friday, "If it were accurately reported, I think there would have been a little less furor."

What was possibly "inaccurately" reported that would excuse a 60 day sentence for this scumbag? It sounds like Rep. Kainen needs to go too if he has the bad judgement to think that was a just verdict. It's great comfort to know he's the ranking member on the Judiciary Committee. /s

Would someone please explain the relationship between the girl and the first freak? Where was mom during all this? Where was dad?

He'll probably get 60 days and 3 hots and a cot.

The law frowns upon retribution, but when ...

Since when, and what's your authority for such a statement?

Retribution/punishment is one of the foundations of the justice system's basic reasons for incarceration, along with protecting the public from future crimes and along with rehabilitation.

It's a legitimate stand-alone basis for punishment and incarceration, in fact it's the moral basis for incarceration, whereas protecting the public is the practical basis.

It seems to me that Cashman has some personal reason to be sympathetic to the molesters, if you know what I mean.

Last night, while watching Animal Cops, my ten year old asked me how it can be that someone who abuses an animal can get up to a year in prison, while a man who hurts a child for years only gets 60 days.

My daughter is smarter than this judge. I think HE is a pedophile.

Anyone checked NAMBLA to see if Cashman is a member?

O'Reilly's had people on all week discussing the case, and he's FURIOUS! He said he will not stop unless the Vermont legislature removes the judge immediately. And he's also proposing a boycott of Vermont.

Did you mean "vigilantism" instead of retribution?

Derek Kimball, 33, of Hinesburg, whom authorities describe as a friend of Hulett's

Child-molesting tag team. Does anyone wonder that these monsters actively prey on vulnerable children?

Get a rope, get a rope

We're sick and tired of your liberal views
What's politically correct?
Come judgement day, I'll be trying the noose
And slipping it around your neck

Can't you hear me shout?
There are a lot of people like me about
But for you there's just no hope

Get a rope, get a rope

Today's Vermont, is not the Vermont of Bing Crosby and Danny Kaye.

It has been overrun by New York and Massachusetts leftist communist liberals.

To these NOUVAUX Vermonter's, rapist's are to be revered.

The victim will carry this around in her head for the rest of her life unless she gets longterm therapy. Even then, she's lost her innocence, her childhood, her sweetness. She harbors intense feelings of anger and hate and will strike out at some point, probably against someone trying to help her...because subconsciously, she'll know that's 'safe'. Her life will just go downhill. The judge should be making sure this kid gets state-paid therapy for as long as she needs it.

Going by his past reasoning, the judge will probably give this guy only 30 days since the girl wasn't a virgin any longer when he sexually assaulted her.
