40 years for burning one? person is abuse.

That's abuse? Seriously?
It is so extreme as to be abuse yes.
It is cruel and unusual punishment for bringing someone.
If we had a Supreme Court that was worth a damn you would not see this short of abuse of a citizen at the hands of the state.
You can't be serious. This guy poured BOILING HOT WATER on this gay couple and they suffered 3rd Degree burns because of it.
And yet you say that him being put in prison for 40 years for this is cruel and unusual punishment?! In what world does that make any type of sense?

...Tolbert sustained second and third degree burns and spent 10 days at Grady Memorial Hospital after undergoing surgery that took skin from his thigh to replace skin on his back.
Gooden sustained severe burns on his face, neck, back, chest and arms and was in a coma for two weeks....
attempted murder and inflicting extreme pain on someone for no reason? I wouldn't lose any sleep if the victims took a crowbar to the attacker and broke every bone in the asshole's body
Being gay has nothing to do with it, a gay mans pain and suffering is not worth more than anyone else's.
40 years for dumping hot water on a human.
That is abuse.
That's pretty despicable that you think a homosexual is only worth 1/2 a person.
It would be extremely rare to die from a pot of boiling water dumped on you, so freakish in fact that to call it attempted murder is abuse of language.
Being gay has nothing to do with it, a gay mans pain and suffering is not worth more than anyone else's, their life is no more precious than is mine.

That is ludicrous. THIS is abuse:

It wasn't "hot water", it was boiling water. Do you understand the difference?
Where did I imply that a gay person's suffering is worth more than others? I didn't.
It doesn't matter if the victims were gay or not, it doesn't change the fact that this guy deserves 40 years for what he did.
No it is not.
You know what is abuse?
Dumping boiling hot water on people's heads for no reason.
wish he would have been charged with more!Tolbert sustained second and third degree burns and spent 10 days at Grady Memorial Hospital after undergoing surgery that took skin from his thigh to replace skin on his back.

You are unbelievable. One guy almost did die. You don't think attempted murder is a serious crime?
no such thing, I simply did not read enough into the case to see if the second person had any major injury, I only read of the one.

Feel free to stop mentioning that they are gay, because so far as I am concerned that does not matter, hate crime laws are unconstitutional, and an abuse of law.
I am not going to research sentences for burning, but I am confident that 40 years for burning one or two people rarely to never happens.
For a reason, it is way too heavy a sentence for the crime.
