That's nice...

So what does that have to do with her verdict? That's what I'm asking you. What does being a Liberal have anything to do with her decision?

You won't get a straight answer. Just "Liberal bad, Conservative good"
 
I don't think it is a "Liberal" vs. "Conservative" thing....More a connected socially in Delaware thing....Either way, the guy should be ushered straight to GenPop with a sign around his neck, baby rapist....Now that would be justice.

Is it? Or is this just the sentence a fourth degree rape charge carries?

The article seems far more concerned with his wealth then what he actually did. I have no idea what he actually did to his daughter. I read the Huff Po piece then another I think from the NY Daily News and came away with more knowledge of his wealth then his crime. The Huff Po piece does say "Richards hired one of the state's top law firms and was offered a plea deal of one count of fourth-degree rape charges -- which carries no mandatory minimum prison sentencing" so I would think anyone found guilty of fourth degree rape would do little if any actual time. Neither article said anything about past crimes so I think it's likely that he was a first time offender.
 
But the United States is a nation of laws!!!!!!! :roll:

Without the discussion on liberal judges and one percenters, what other purpose would this thread have on a debate forum? I highly doubt you're going to get many people posting here saying what he did was no big deal.

Discussing how our government has become tool of corporate and aristocrat entity, protecting the rich against punishment while subjugating the rest of us to their rule. Duh. There's no partisanship in that. The Republocrats equally push for these results.

It's not supposed to be Right vs. Left, Conservative vs. Liberal. It has been and always will be The Government vs. The People. United we stand, divided we fall.
 
Very well said. Imagine saying an African American or a Lesbian or some other "group" didn't want to go to jail for their crime and got off with a light sentence? You'd be a racist; but in the leftist roar and hatred for those who'd generated a profit this thread starts with a label at a group rather then the individual who really shouldn't be in jail - but in front of a firing squad.

What kind of F'd up article is this from Huffcrap?

As best as I can tell, this creep has been labeled a "1 Percenter" because of his name alone. Nowhere does it mention how wealthy he is, other than he is a great grandson of a DuPont, and he's got a trust.

How about just reporting that this scumbag is getting probation, rather than the pathetic reference to wealth, which may or may not be true?

Do they have to? That's a strange question.

The courts are full of cases where poor people who have committed crimes have been given probation. Those crimes include child abuse, spousal abuse, and any number of other crimes.

I realize these class envy stories are food for the masses, but it doesn't make them any more legitimate.

Yes, and that's why this guy got the "one percenter" label in front of his name. Because the so called 1% hardly ever feels the full weight of the justice system. The media reports the crime of the poor as statistics. It reports the way which the so called 1% gets away with certain crimes in much the same way.
 
Tettsuo said:
Please detail which liberal belief this supposed liberal judge used to make this judgement please.

I ask for this because liberals believe baby rapists should go directly to jail. Letting a baby rapist off doesn't jive with any liberal view I'm aware of. In fact, liberals tend to believe the law should be equally applicable to all, regardless of race, sex, religion or wealth.

Really? I can point to another active thread right now where liberals are excusing violent crimes, murder, and rape because the perpetrators grew up in poverty oppressed by da man.

Says the guy that started a thread about 1% ers.

Does your theory about 1% ers and unfair justice square with the absolute fact that the judge in this case was a liberal and the states Attorney General that oversaw this travesty was the democrat son of the current Vice President?

Edit: oh wait...aren't you the guy that started another thread about how all people from Chicago are disgusting violent vermin that can't be trusted with a CCW? And you have a problem with stereotyping? :lamo
 
The guy is a scum bag. I would probably want to kill him if he hurt my kids and the justice system refused to punish him.


tacomancer said:
I don't care about the guys background or circumstances, he admitted to molesting a child.

The fact he was able to play the justice system is simply unfortunate, he should have gone into prison and if that resulted in his death well then he shouldn't have molested a child

Its getting the affulenza label because of the rich kid that killed all those people drunk driving. The fact is that richer people can afford top attorneys. Its a pretty well know fact. What people should be pissed about is this admitted child rapist, getting away with raping is own child.

Who is the other rich person who raped his daughter and got away without jail time?

Again, its a fact that the wealthiest people can afford the best attorneys. That doesn't mean that all wealthy people get away with raping their children. It means that poor people are stuck with ****ty public defenders and get harsher punishments. Yes, the judge in this case is a total idiot and should be disbarred. Now stop being unreasonable and destroying this thread with non sequitur.



tres borrachos said:
You can't generalize unless you can show a pattern of rich men getting away with molesting their daughters. This is one case.

I can show you other cases of rich men not getting away with crimes, and I can show you other cases of poor men getting away with child molestation.

The focus here should be on the judge and the others involved.

Yeah, its disturbing and disgusting.

I knew a girl though my group, and she wrote letters to her dad. She was trying to him to confess to raping her her whole life, and she shared the correspondences with me.

It was disturbing. In one letter she came flat out and described some of rapes and attacked him. He responded by telling her he was glad to hear from her, and told her how happy he was. She was hysterical after reading it. She was never able to press charges with the letters as evidence.

He seemed like a psychopath and couldn't admit what he did, but this guy did admit to raping his daughter and he got away with it. If he wants to hurt her more, he can rub the fact that he is free in her face..

I don't hesitate to think the guy is a psychopath and feels no remorse or shame. I wouldn't put it past him to emotionally abuse and degrade his daughter with the fact he was never punished for raping her.







DiAnna said:
Wait...

A man confesses to raping his three-year-old daughter for years, until as a five-year-old the child was able to express to her mother that she didn't want daddy touching her like that again... whereupon the man is found guilty and the judge, fearing he would "not do well in prison", turns the guy back out into the street to look for more three-year-old girls...

...and the crux of debate in this freaking thread is a partisan hackfest about "one percenters" and "liberal judges"??? Are you people ****ing kidding me??? :shock:

The judge and DA should have to explain themselves for this massive injustice. I don't give a **** about the liberal vs conservative hackfest in this thread. Everybody using this story as partisan flame torch is just as socially irresponsible, reckless, and ignorant as the judge and DA.

Ah, so the thread is supposed to stay focused on the one percenters getting away with pedophilia. Sorry, I didn't realize that we needed to focus to that.

The Menendez brothers (among others) may disagree with you that money buys the best lawyers, but whatever makes you feel better about those nasty one percenters...go for it.

Wtf you trying to imply? This is about a Theodore bottom tooth getting off on a sick crime that a slack jawed yokel would have been sent up the river for. Money and clout tends to buy ones way through the legal system here.
 
You're making this thread into something it isn't, and you have build a gigantic strawman in the process.

This thread is only about the man in OP getting away with child rape.

Furthermore, having a lot of money and access to top lawyers doesn't mean you will never go to jail or prison.

You're reaching a lot of false conclusions.

And I made my piece when I said that everybody using this story as a partisan flame torch is just as socially irresponsible and ignorant as the DA and judge.

sometimes that is true and in other cases, leftwing judges hammer wealthy frauds more than they hammer violent street criminals. having been a prosecutor for about 30 years I have seen it work both ways.

I saw a well respected very socially liberal judge-Gilbert Bettman (Common pleas, cincinnati) give a light sentence to an Appalachian (what people call "hill billies around here) defendant accused of 'incest' because the Judge noted such actions "were common" in that culture. I also know a very good state and then federal black judge who was pure hell on black drug dealers because those thugs affected his neighborhood more than rich white boys selling cocaine out of their mercedes. But then again, a rich white judge I know was far harder on trustafarian drug dealers than black ones
 
Might be dating myself here, but I expected the term '1 Percenter' to refer to an outlaw biker.
Or betraying my mispent youth.

The thread is about a "one percenter". In case you didn't notice, "One percenter" are the first 2 words in the OP, which was a link to an article by Huffpo with the same idiotic title. Please don't think I'm a moron. The thread isn't about a man getting away with child rape. If it was, his net worth wouldn't be mentioned.

TD, obviously the crime here is the rape. However in more cases than not, money does buy the justice system.

Now the fault here is not the people with money, but the fact in many cases that money will get guilty people off on crimes most will go to jail for. The fault is the corrupt system that allows this.
