I just got through watching this episode and I am absolutely
incandescent with rage and disappointment. I CANNOT believe that
judge reduced the charges in the bumfight case to misdemeanors. How
could he look at the smirking faces of those soulless evil little
bastards and basically give them a little patty-cake on the hand for
what they did. For what they are going to continue to do?! How could
he make such a decision after watching those videos, after watching
their smirking faces and their amusement at the mayhem they were
creating?
I forget - when were these epidodes filmed? Is there anywhere we can
write to protest or at least register our disgust with such a
horrendous decision? I've seen this judge wuss out once before on
this show - he's afraid to take the hard line, afraid to dispense
justice to those who so richly deserve it. And if anyone deserved it -
it was those rotten, evil brats.
To watch them and their attorneys laughing and smirking during the
testimony of their victims was simply disgusting. Those vile,
repulsive little sadists were sickening to watch. To paraphrase the
one witness "Is this what's going to run the world?" With such as
them at the helm what we can we expect? It's too horrible to even
contemplate. And for the judge to sit there and allow the one
attorney to stand there and deliberately hammer away at the victim
who was obviously mentally unstable was nothing short of a crime in
itself.
I apologize for babbling here but I am so very very angry at what I
just witnessed. The deliberate victimization of those less fortunate
than ourselves and in such a manner makes my skin crawl. There but
for the grace of God go you or I or a family member. One can only
hope that true justice comes for those fiends who cooked this up.
Stuff like this makes me despair of the next generation and for the
future of mankind.
