Sound reasonable to me

If you really mean that, then since the 17 yo girl was consensual in the behavior, can I assume you mean you would also have beaten her in a similar manner? Shot at her? This wasn't assault on the part of the young man.

Was your daughter so helpless at 17 that she would have been forced by a boyfriend in her own bedroom? Doesn't say a lot for your parenting abilities.

At that age my daughter could take care of herself with any male. If she had been doing anything, it would not have been against her will. I would have been pissed at the boy, but I would have considered her responsible, had it been consensual on her part.

To destroy a 19 yo life because of mutual behavior between a 17 and 19 year old is unexcuseable. 60 years in a wheelchair is fair punishment for normal sexual desires of teenagers? Geez. Scary.

Yup, some of these posters are truly frightening. Makes me wonder about Free Republic and my participation here. Seriously.

Jeez, can't you recognize a little joking?

Or, "Is 10-20 years in prison fair to keep your daughter away from a dumb punk." Heck yeah! The kid started the fight by physically attacking the dad. The dad just finished it.
