It's a damn good thing this guy was born white!

"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."

See now the judge and the piece of shit rapist are the types of people that this world would be better off without. As Dylan sang, "I hope that you die, and your death will come soon'.

That is just terrible.

Yes. I don't understand, unless the quote was not taken in context, how he says there was great pain, great harm and multiple crimes committed, and then says incarceration is not appropriate.

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

Apparently he is from a wealthy family, which shouldnt matter but clearly does in our system of "justice"

Ahmad Arbery's killers all found guilty, to varying degrees. So apparently, at least, shooting folks for #joggingwhileblack is still frowned upon in this country.

I'm not sure what you mean by "still"?

The "Trumpification" of America continues

[Teenwolf]

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.

Yup, you're 100% correct. They push this nonsense and there's no pushback. At all.

Fox resident racist Carlson Tucker asked to see Katanji Brown Jackson's LSAT score.

Fox resident racist Carlson Tucker asked to see Katanji Brown Jackson's LSAT score.

It 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.

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?

Yes, Carlson Tucker did not ask for the LSAT scores for Gorsuch, Kavanagh or Barrett. I wonder why?

[DMT]

Because racists have been denying their racism for centuries.

[umjewman]

Like LSAT score means anything. I scored in the 98th percentile and look at how big of a fucking moron I am.
