Righting a wrong

prisonBy VictorM:

The fact that this case was even allowed to get this far is proof of just how much the assholes in this country have a grip on things. That the decision was 4-3 shows we still have too many assholes in places of power but at least the majority decision offers a ray of hope for the sanity of this country:
The Georgia Supreme Court today ended the 10-year prison sentence of a man who was convicted in 2003 of having consensual oral sex with another teenager. The court said the harsh sentence violated the Constitution’s protection against cruel and unusual punishment...

The inmate, Genarlow Wilson, who is now 21, was 17 when he was caught on videotape having oral sex with a 15-year-old girl at a drug- and alcohol-fueled New Year’s Eve party in 2003.
Let's get this straight... he was 17 and she was 15... they had oral sex... it was consensual... and there are still enough assholes who think a 10-year sentence is a fair penalty. ASSHOLES!!!
