provided that they are lawyers.can we tie them up and throw them in the ocean so we can save our ammunition?
Wonderful idea. Feed the sharks to the sharksprovided that they are lawyers.
The old joke:Feed the sharks to the sharks
The old joke:
Why don't sharks eat lawyers?
Professional courtesy.
As we enter the nouveau-Victorian age, where trans is conflated with gay and peadophilia, where peadophilia is conflated with ephebophilia and a 17 to 19 year old can get a criminal record and go on the sex offenders list for life because their girlfriend/boyfriend was 15 or 16.
I'm not. I'm relating mostly to the misuse of the term (peadophilia - pedo) projected into what is considered and/or enforced as normal/acceptable in our society. This, evolving into the Christian (Victorian) sex police. I do not know of all regulations in all states but I do know of people (through my previous work) who were convicted of statutory rape/sexual abuse because they had a girl friend a year or 2 younger than them, when 17 to 19 years old. Love is not a permitted argument in these cases.f you're referring back to my comment re. Alaska's and a number of other states' statutes concerning 'age of majority' and related contexts
This is cope, Christians are trying to legalize child marraige nationally, not just in the southern pedophile Hotspots.I'm not.

Love is not a permitted argument in these cases.
In an unrelated case (in Canada) just as an example of the behavior of many judge run cases (I'm sure also in the US) a juvenile male (15-16 off the top of my head) was charged with sexual assault, wherein a female of around 14 years old presented, distraught and with the entire front of her jeans soaked, to school staff, reported that she had been assaulted by the male. Testimony given by her, backed by school staff that she had been assaulted during class change in a busy (with students) hallway; that she was pinned to the floor by the male who drooled 'like a crazed animal' licking her crotch. [this was a well-muscled young lady, accustomed to bale chucking and barrel racing] all while holding her arms and legs. Not one student testified to seeing this event. School staff and attending police, testified to the fact that the whole front area of her jeans were soaked.
I was the juvenile's caregiver/guardian (as he lived on my farm and participated in an apprenticeship program). The judge denied my testimony and potential evidence concerning a multitude of phone calls from the complainant (the young man reported she was begging him to be her boyfriend and threatening another girl he liked). I agree with his decision that the substance was hearsay but the actual number of phone calls made were evidentiary. The more critical testimony, incorrectly branded as hearsay was my testimony in which I could relay what I had read a month earlier in a letter from this girl to the young man, stating her love for him, begging him to be her boyfriend and threatening other girls who vied for his affection. She said she would do anything to get him. This letter as thrown away (true, I should have kept it but who knew). The judge should have accepted my sworn word as a professional.
Despite strenuous argument from the defense attorney, regarding not considering all evidence/testimony (and lack thereof) as well as the near impossibility that the boy could pin the girl down and have enough saliva to soak her jeans, the judge accepted 100% this outlandish yarn. He found him guilty and sentenced him to expulsion from school, probation and to be placed on the adult sexual offender list at 18. - a complete lie to follow him for his entire life.
Pretty obviously, having been rejected as girlfriend material on the bus that morning, the girl contrived to get revenge; soaked her front crotch area in the bathroom and made up the story.
Yes, errors, sometimes heinous errors, are made in a blanket system, and stereotypical values are applied, even when they don't apply. Sometimes very serious errors. And the assumption that men are perpetrators and women are victims, despite people like Lenore Walker (author of The Burning Bed, who I saw speak at a training when I was working as a contract civilian in the Army's MH program), acknowledge that women assault men far more often than men assault women, HOWEVER, the assaults by men are more apt to leave greater physical damage, and the assaults by women often go unreported due to men not wanting to be perceived as small-minded or weak. And yes, she took some heat from some men haters for those statistically accurate remarks.I'm not.

The fellow who convinced my daughter to take a ride, and then tried to convince her that condoms aren't necessary, used all of the flattering remarks that a 15-year-old young woman wants to hear when she's butting her head up against the wall of puberty, trying to be an adult when she's not, perceives that she's not valued at home even when she is, etc. He literally played on all of that like a fine violin.This is cope, Christians are trying to legalize child marraige nationally, not just in the southern pedophile Hotspots.
This all sounds like apologia for the Seinfeld middle aged losers trying to pick girls up from high school vibes
I'm mind boggled that you would reply in such fashion to a statement exhibiting this degree of comprehensive shortages and ignorance.The fellow who convinced my daughter to take a ride, and then tried to convince her that condoms aren't necessary, used all of the flattering remarks that a 15-year-old young woman wants to hear when she's butting her head up against the wall of puberty, trying to be an adult when she's not, perceives that she's not valued at home even when she is, etc. He literally played on all of that like a fine violin.
Then come the choices; file a report and have her put on the stand for days of prosecutor and defense attorney questioning, or invoke some instant karma.
I was wrong to pursue this in the way I did. There's no telling how many young women he went on to victimize after he fled Alaska. I own at least a part of whatever came of that. Trying to protect my daughter from that drama might have left others' daughters at risk. Not cool at all.
In a positive image of possible outcomes, maybe his near-encounter and having to move to another area of the Country left him wanting to examine his ways, but having worked clinically with sex offenders and people contending with pedophilia, I have some doubts.
As opposed to whatever victimhood complex you're displaying on behalf of all poor not actually sexual offenders?I'm mind boggled that you would reply in such fashion to a statement exhibiting this degree of comprehensive shortages and ignorance.
Are you implying you're not okay with may/december relationships?This all sounds like apologia for the Seinfeld middle aged losers trying to pick girls up from high school vibes
f'n'a man! that sucksThe fellow who convinced my daughter to take a ride, and then tried to convince her that condoms aren't necessary, used all of the flattering remarks that a 15-year-old young woman wants to hear when she's butting her head up against the wall of puberty, trying to be an adult when she's not, perceives that she's not valued at home even when she is, etc. He literally played on all of that like a fine violin.
