#1 If the Judge finds a 10 year old girl 'provocative' I would tend to think perhaps he is also a pedophile himself and should not be judging these types of cases. But that's just me.....

Also notice that he would only sentence a rapist of an adult to two years? Seems Judge Hall judge has a great many 'sympathies' with those accused of rape and a 'deep understanding' (if you catch my drift).

#2 Deterrent to abuse? This isn't about the rape victim, it's about the real victim, Mr. Fenn. How is society helping him to succeed in life? A long prison sentence would only harden him, not to mention subject him to abuse by other inmates.

#3 The scrote should be burned alive and so should the judge who gave him two years.

#4 A two-year sentence is perfectly reasonable --- if served in the pillory in the public square.

#5 This is why we cannot fight the Orcs. It is the same thought-disease that prevents us from protecting ourselves; the same inversion of reason and natural law.

#6 "A long prison sentence would only harden him, not to mention subject him to abuse by other inmates"

That's not a bug, that's a feature.

#7 I'm surprised that England has never evolved a "law and order" party, that would go against the tide for things like the death penalty, building more prisons, repeat offender laws, self defense laws, etc. Heck, they could even oppose gun control.

I suspect that were someone to even try, they would get a LOT more support than the government or the media would suspect.
