At my high school graduation party, the county judge served the beer.
....Times have changed.

They sure have! Scary...

Many of us have anecdotes like yours. I know I do!

What strikes me as so odd is that the prosecutor only asked for a 90 day sentence, but the judge gave them 8 years!

Somewhere between the irresponsible, destructive, anything-goes mentality of yesteryear and the Church-Lady-jihad we are experiencing lately is a reasonably governed society.

I would furious if I found out about a parent getting my daughter drunk at a party, but an eight year sentence when apparently nobody got hurt is insane.

I don't drink and I think its stupid... however the drinking age is unrealistic and this judge ought to be hanged. Hell in Cape Cod I hosted a part for buddies when my parents were out guess I should get 8 years too.

An eight year sentence for this is way out of line! Hell, we've got baby rapers around here that only do 3-5 years. Or murderers doing 4-7 years. OTOH, we've got first time drug dealers doing 25-life. Go figure.

Anyone want to take bets that said judge is up for re-election in November?
