"A man who pleaded guilty to the rape and sexual assault of four teenage girls will avoid prison time after a New York state judge said time behind bars would be inappropriate.
Christopher Belter, now 20, entered a plea deal in 2019 in which he agreed to plead guilty to attempted first-degree sexual abuse, third-degree rape and two counts of second-degree sexual abuse, according to court documents.
The charges stem from four separate incidents in 2017 and 2018 in Lewiston, New York, the documents state. He and the victims were all under 18 at the time.
Belter was placed on interim probation for two years with limits on his internet use and access to pornography, the documents state.
But he violated the terms of his probation, according to court documents. Judge Matthew J. Murphy denied him Youthful Offender status and ruled he'd be sentenced as an adult, the documents state.
Last Tuesday, Judge Murphy issued a sentence of eight years of probation and ruled Belter must register as a sex offender -- but said prison time would be inappropriate.
"I agonized. I'm not ashamed that to say that I actually prayed over what is the appropriate sentence in this case because there was great pain. There was great harm. There were multiple crimes committed in the case," Judge Murphy said, according to CNN affiliate WKBW. "It seems to me that a sentence that involves incarceration or partial incarceration isn't appropriate, so I am going to sentence you to probation."

And BTW, it should be noted this judge is a Democrat, so not all judicial pieces of shit are Republicans.

We should have a thread about the complete shit-fer-brains nonsense that is Republicans idea of "critical race theory".
They've been pushing CRT as a scare tactic, very successfully. They've pushed the overton window so far right that any discussion of racism in America (including factual history), is now considered dangerous for children.
It's depressing and horrifying that these dumb-dumb tactics are winning for them. I wish the Democrats offered ANYTHING of substance to combat the bullshit.Larry David was once being heckled, long before any success. Heckler says "I'm taking my dog over to fuck your mother, weekly." Larry responds "I hate to tell you this, but your dog isn't liking it."

I am not saying it is not fair to questions credentials and record, but why didn't any of these people call for test scores for the untold masses of wildly underqualified Trump appointments? Why are their attacks on POC in particular so incredibly predictable?

Originally posted by Sour Masher View PostIt is so overt, it boggles my mind that any of his viewers can defend him. Obama faced that same thing with Trump. All the alleged "I don't see color" republicans that see nothing wrong with calls like this, that are only made for black candidates, are deep in denial about their racism and the racism they support. And that is putting aside the inherent flaws in standardized testing as a benchmark of future success and competency.

Because racists have been denying their racism for centuries.If DMT didn't exist we would have to invent it. There has to be a weirdest thing. Once we have the concept weird, there has to be a weirdest thing. And DMT is simply it.
