[scifinoir2] Re: OT: Six arrested, charged in woman's weeklong torture
Thanks. I hadn't heard about this. This reminds me of the group of thugs in Jasper Texas that chained a black man to the back of a pickup truck and dragged him around town until his body came apart. Lifetime in jail sounds good to me. George --- In scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com, Martin [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Has anyone else caught more than a *blurb* about this in the mainstream media?

While federal civil rights or state hate crime charges remain an option, a state kidnapping count that carries a sentence of up to life in prison will provide the best chance for successful prosecution, officials said. snip

It'll be interesting to see if this gets more coverage in the news media than the dogs M. Vick and friends killed. 9/11 coverage may have pushed this story aside earlier this week.

Lifetime in jail sounds good to me. Unfortunately, what sounds good to me the regulations of the Geneva Convention prohibit. There is no punishment to make up for even one percent of what these less then human creatures did to this woman. If prison is their final punishment I home they get their cellmates a pack of ciggs or two for their worthless hides. Moondancer
