Say it, don't spray it. (Life imprisonment for spitting)

[yukichigai]

A man about to receive a 1 year sentance for beating his wife spit on the face of the officer escorting him, and was subsequently sentanced to life in prison.

Text

His lawyers said they plan to appeal.

Naw, really?

That is Crazy

Life Man I hope I remember never to Spit again!!!

 

[Ime]

I have no sympathy.

He's a wife beater, and he then assaults officers.

He's too stupid to be allowed outside a prison.

 

[Yossarian]

If he doesn't have any disease then there's no need for such a ridiculous sentence.

 

[rival]

he should get life for beating his wife, +1 year for spittin on the cop...

fortunately, not many people will show sympathy for garbage like him.

he is a waste of tax payers dollars however.
we should ship him off down under.

 

[notfred]

The sentance is ridiculously harsh, but he sounds like a sh!thole so I don't care about him.

 

[Kev]

who cares? one more piece of sh*t off the streets

 

[yukichigai]

I say this probably falls under the category of cruel and unusual punishment. Now if it'd been a 5 year sentance I could jive with it considering his history. Hell, 10 years. Spitting is pretty gross.

I do also think the law should be on the books. If some HIV+ transexual prostitute gets in a scuffle with a cop, bloodies her mouth and then spits in his eye that's just as bad as killing him right then and there if he gets AIDS. It should count as murder or attempted murder.

Agreed.

Tell me if this makes sense?

You beat up a woman...get 1 year.
Spit on someone...get life.

Bah, this is total crap. More tax money being spent on someone who shouldn't be locked up for life. Yes, he's scum, yes it's stupid to spit on an officer and yes, wife beating is horrible. But putting him in prison for life is a waste of time clogging up appeals courts and wasting tax dollars.

Our legal system is arguably the best in the world, and yet so fvcked up.

The time spent sitting him in an appeals court arguing whether he needs to serve for life for spitting on an officer is time that coule be better spent on more important, higher priority matters than some law that makes absolutely no sense.

So, you're saying we should just execute him now and be done with it?

lol...kinda makes you think

 

[benjamit]

life imprisonment is a waste of resources

ah the jury just wanted to get rid of him

the spitting was the straw

 

[BooGiMaN]

i think the sentence is appropriate...

basically he told the judge and jury ...fvcky you...

and they responded...no fvck you and here is a life sentence to boot...how you like them apples mister..

 

[Gonad the Barbarian]

This is absolutely insane. Asshole or not, our justice system is supposed to be about justice.

 

[Ylen13]

lol

Reminds me of a guy showing a cop a middle finger, so he arrested him and he was sentenced for 1 year. Eventually Supreme Court rules it was protect by free speech

 

[zippy]

I was expecting this to be in Singapore where punishment is quite harsh. I definitely didn't expect it to be Oklahoma City.

I think you misead the article.

An Oklahoma man arrested on suspicion of beating his wife faced year in prison and a fine. But when he spit in an arresting officer's face, he got a life sentence instead, officials said Wednesday.

he was not convicted of wife-beating.

Great, I can see that the government is using our tax dollars wisely

 

[Kipper]

"placing bodily fluid upon a government employee," a felony

This is the first time I've heard of this...

This is pretty much a waste of taxpayer money, I'd feel...but whatever - we waste money in government all the time, it's going to happen no matter what.

That's what I'd say.

Sorry, but I think wife-beaters, rapists and child abusers are some of the lowest scum on the face of the earth! Fsck em. A guy like that deserves a lifetime of bubba using his a$$ for a playground:|:|

Edit: Arguably the scentence is too harsh for a one time offense. However comma.... if this behavior is a regular way of life for this guy then he should go down for a VERY long time!
