ANCHORAGE, Alaska -- A group of Alaska residents vowed to launch a campaign against an Anchorage judge who sentenced no jail time to a man who was accused of offering a ride to a woman, choking her until she was unconscious and allegedly masturbating on her while she was unconscious. Justin Schneider, 34, pleaded guilty to one count of felony assault in the case, and Anchorage Superior Court Judge Michael Corey sentenced Schneider to two years with a year suspended.

Normally, I like to read through the case and try and filter out the sensationalism of a story but I'm going to need a little help on this one.
I don't want to say I'm getting choked up because I'm choking on trying to put a neutral take on this choking story but there is just way to much choking going on for this to turn out the way it did.
In August, Schneider drove to a Holiday gas station in Anchorage, Alaska and identified himself as “Dan” to the victim. He then offered to give her a ride to her boyfriend’s house which she accepted according to a criminal complaint written by APD Detective Brett Sarber. The victim said she’d never met the suspect before, but Schneider claimed he knew the victim.
The suspect then drove the woman to an isolated area, attacked her, threatened to kill her if she screamed and strangled her unconscious.
“She said she could not fight him off, he was too heavy and had her down being choked to death,” the complaint read. The victim thought she was “going to die.”
After awakening, the woman found Schneider zipping up his pants after masturbating on her. Schneider allowed the victim to retrieve her items. The woman then dialed the police as the suspect drove away and informed authorities that “The man told her that he wasn’t really going to kill her, that he needed her to believe she was going to die so that he could be sexually fulfilled.”
