Post by: spinnis on February 09, 2011, 08:57:57 AM

doesn't end up being sexually abused ::)

Incredible.

I can understand how frustating it would be to get your workplace that you own or something tagged, but fucking hell.. as long as you dont loose money and you dont have to clean it off yourself, and as long as he leanr a lesson which he probably would MORE THEN ENOUGH with one year. Or a big ass fine.

lol I have to comment on this again

I would love to see if the guy has a criminal record, if not this is incredbible stupid and overly excessive, the judge looks
like she has just found out she hit menapause ::)

But to be serious, what the fuck is the point of sending him to prison anyways? Let him pay the fine (lol at the 7k damage) and put him on probation, he is 18 years old ffs.

I mean by now we know for a fact that the wide majority of people don't get better in prison, also the way she said to him you will serve every day looks incredible cruel to me.

Hey Im the first to say, America is a great country but you guys have a straaange fucking culture.

OMFG I would have been locked up forever for shit I have done in the past, it is important to know that anybody has made mistakes and unless somebody is hurt really hurt, cut them some slack.

Haha but good thing is he probably will be out in 2 days like Paris Hilton who was a druggy and drove intoxicated... hang on.... no the guy has no money and isn't a celebrity so yeah shit he will serve his 8 years ::)

you could kill someone in sweden, and throw in a few rapes just for good measure and still not serve 8 years lol.

I think a week in prison, heavily guarded - in extra cells - is probably the best thing to scare teenagers, tell you what I got scared the fuck out when I went into prison for a very small streach, never
had any problems with the police nor have I ever broken the law again.
Let them feel the bordom and the helplessnes being locked up etc, that is I think a good thing.

But 8 years - dam - the guy will be out when he is 26  :o :o

I was making a point by being sarcastic - of the stupid and ridicules double standarts, Paris Hilton has commited a far worse crime (at least in my eyes) and has been warned so fucking many times.
But we cannot keep her in prison because daddy hired the best lawyers in the country to scare the shit out of the judge and everybody else as in...

Do you know what we will do if anything happens to her?

If there is one thing I dispise and hate its double standarts.

however good thing is, the video will go viral and maybe just maybe a big shot lawyer sees a chance to make cash or get his name in the news and picks up the case.
For the judge.... she needs to be raped with a broken bottle.

yeah but you see that is not neccesarily a good thing, I think as a judge you have to draw a clear line between a teenage who did stupid shit, and caused some damage and somebody
who went physical.
I mean ffs its only money - okay it must be a pain in the ass for anybody who has the shop to see the taggings since everybody is thinking of course - Gang tags I am staying the fuck away from here.
But seriously - 7k vs 8 years and possibly ruined life, doesn't add up.

well... the fucked up thing is - in america they can add shit to your sentence, I just saw a docu about the only max security - solidary confinement prison in america, you cannot be send there
for your stretch but only when you are not controllable in prison.
Its incredible I couldn't believe my eyes, these guys (sure most are bad guys) are send there and start the program on level 1 - which means no books no tv nothing just a bare cell - 1h they get out per week or so but not outside but to a closed room for excersise - if you behave you get more good things like a TV and books etc.
The prison is build specifically so you have ZERO contact to other humans, they are making tests now to find out if this is legal since it is prooven that being lonely is in the same area in the brain as were you feel pain.

So here is the interesting part - there is this guy in there - he went to the pen (normal pen) for forgery (checks) got I dunno 3 years, but because he was picked on etc he got in fights and there was thijngs added to his sentence, he is now 7 years in his setence who was orginaly only 2-3 years, he got a total of 2 livetearms for attacking officers and he is mentally disturbed.
he has not seen sunlight or the wind or has been outside nor has he talked to anybody for six fucking years.!!!!!!

Imagine that.

welcome to the laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand of the freeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee eee and the hoooooooooooooooome of the braaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaave

A dude in sweden got sentenced last year for keeping s 14 yr old girl prisoner and selling her off to friends and keeping her locked in a box when he had to go to the store etc, when he couldnt keep a check on her, a little ass wodden box. this went on for 14-16 months or something like that.

he got 4 years and will be out way before that.

And ofc tv, books, internet, blankets and whatever. At times I wish it would be more like usa, but not when it comes to DUMB ass stuff like the grafitti dude.

You see that is the problem with you fucking yanks, cannot take criticism, as soon as anybody criticize your oh so great country he is either a communist or just euro trash.

Nobody tells you fuckers how to run your own country (your government on the other hand does a fine job in dictating the whole world how to run their lives ::) ) ... we are just suggesting
that your legal system might be fucked beyond repair, that's called criticism.

Grafitti like this is the same as theft, your causing massive loss of property 7 grand ain't a small number. and crime generally 95 percent of crimes go unpunished so if you get caught you are taking the blame for other crimes. That's only common fucking sense.


Anyhow I don't believe in prisons labour camps should be the way to go.

P.S. I'm right wing as hell.

Lets do the math here.

7K - 8 years = $875 per year.

Couple of the shops were vacant - come on man be as right wing as you want you have to agree the sentence is incredible stupid, given that she pretty much
destroyed his live.

7k x20 since 95 percent of these crimes go unpunished is 140k, nore than this sack of shit can save in 8 years.

Not that I believe in prisons there a waste of money. You can't make it anything but pleasant as that would be torture, so basically people are sent to prison until they get bored with committing crimes. This has been proven to work of course if someone goes to prisons for years they do eventually get bored with the legal system and get good.

Labour camps/solitary confinement should be the only prison system.

They should atleast cover there own ass like everyone else.

I dont understand your calculation, so he is paying for all the other idiots that are not caught? even if he only created damages of 7k?

Lol thats as ridicules as your preventive detention (you can lock somebody up if its proven he was thinking to commit a crime)

So if on average I can steal 20 times before getting caught, each time a theft of 7k, I can steel 140k several years salary, and my only fear is getting sent to 12 months in prison ??? Still making about 300 bucks a day to sit on my hands and do nothing.

strongly against preventive detention.

If crime is a business  you are liable for the damages your business have caused on the state.
This is the whole fucking problem if crimes pays which in many situations it does, there's absolutely no deterrent.

Basically as long you make more money than you would without the risk of incarceration.

The is the whole problem with  the prison state crime does pay.

Correct me if I'm wrong but don't the taxpayers in the US pay for the prisoners expenses but the private prisons themselves make money on them?
look up industrial prison complex.  or some shit like that.

Basically everyone makes money in the system, except for the person being robbed and the tax payer, prisons are a massive waste of fucking money, and serve no purpose and they dehabilitate more than opposite.

TO CATCH A DAMN SPRAY PAINTER!
No damn compassion..8 years - there should be an outrage from the city.
He's a dumbass kid; but not a criminal.
I sometimes think some people in law enforcement/judges like that
are just as sociopathic as the people in prison.
Both of them didn't look like they had a empathatic bone in their body.
8 fckn years for graffiti.
No thought from those two about what this kid will suffer in prison.
Let the punishment fit the crime.
I'm not a violent person at all but if I did 8 years for that
I would be looking for revenge after that verdict.

     Sure,,that 8 years sounds hash but that tagging shit just ruins a town or city...Vegas is a prime example...its everywhere. Maybe the next fuck will think twice. I think the mayor had the right idea...a few years ago he suggested that convicted taggers have their index finger cut..sounds good to me. We could give them a choice...prison or the finger  ;D

One, Its Corpus Christie, TX...Texas doesn't play. Two, he may have gang affiliations, both he and the Judge are Latino, she wants to come across hard. Three, dude can always appeal to a higher court. It ain't the end of the world. Four, you'd do no such thing Swede, chances are you'd be shot by the judge herself. As I said before, it's Texas, they don't play down there. And they have executed more deathrow inmates than any state. Five, we don't know what the max penalty and fine for tagging (graffiti) and for the amount of damages ($7,000) is. It could be for a certain amount over or under is X number of yrs. In the state of Maryland, a simple assault (like a fight) carries a max of 10 yrs or $2,500. I don't know how many get the 10 yrs, but I know it is a very, very, very small number.

With that being said, 8 yrs is a tad harsh, and he probably will appeal it.

a tad harsh?
Yep harsh, but chances are very likely he appealed to a higher court--if he didn't then he is a idiot. I think he did have a attorney with him (Possibly a Public Defender).
Also, he is 18 yrs old, and may even have a juvi record. You have a situation here, where he knew what he was doing and the punishment for the crime. He possibly was doing for the rush, and many 18 yr oldsters don't think that now, "I'm an adult---for everything" and that they don't have to take responsibility for their crimes. Harsh yes, and that judge is probably known for being harsh...but, if dude appeals to higher court, and his attorney gets the case heard in front of more sympathetic judge and jury...his time will be lowered or he will recieve a fine.

There is a saying in the American Judicial system, "Justice is blind, and she is a bitch."

 That is some fucked up shit.

 A redneck judge throwing someone in prison for 8 years just for tagging. You can tell just by looking at that judge that she is a bitter and evil bitch.

 Probably about 10% of the kids at my highschool tagged. I think almost everyone did it at least once as a teenager.

 "The land of the free", the USA, can be a very cold and fucked up place.

 That judge deserves to get her ass beat for ruining the life of a harmless man.

2 years and 2 years probation.

BUT wtf?

"This comes as the second high-profile graffiti-related case to come from Texas in under a year. In early August of this year Ralph Mirabel, 19, was sentenced to serve three consecutive 8-year prison terms (24 years) for tagging upwards of 30 properties. "
