That's pretty despicable that you think a homosexual is only worth 1/2 a person.

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

It is so extreme as to be abuse yes.

This is cruel and unusual punishment for burning someone with hot water.

If we had a Supreme Court that was worth a damn you would not see this sort 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?

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.

40 years for dumping hot water on a human.

That is abuse.

That is ludicrous. THIS is abuse:

...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....

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.

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 and make them suffer from 3rd Degree burns and a coma because of it.

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.

OK lets call it mayhem and torture. 40 years seems about right-and hopefully with a cellmate who is as horny as a stallion and hung like one too!

It wasn't "hot water", it was boiling water. Do you understand the difference?

as a former prosecutor-I would charge that as attempted murder, felonious assault, a hate crime and mayhem. 40 years sounds about right.

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, are an abuse of law, only we cant get a competence Supreme Court to say so.

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.

I wonder if he is upset that the Orlando shooter was slain by the police or would have been executed if he had survived the mass killings

"The one" had second and third degree burns which required skin grafts. You don't consider that a "major injury"?

Very highly unlikely, in these kinds of cases patients are placed in medical coma so as to make treating them easier, there was always a very slim chance of dying.

I could be wrong, but that is highly unlikely.

Why would I stop mentioning that? It is part of the facts involving this case. I don't care if you don't think it matters. It's the reason WHY the asshole poured boiling hot water on them in the first place!
