Mallard gets fifty years

News angry_young_men writes "Now this is what I call justice: A Texas woman who struck a man with her car, drove home and left him to bleed to death while wedged in the windscreen has been sentenced to 50 years in prison for murder. With a sentence of this magnitude, one could have expected the same penalty had the sexes been reversed; hence it shows us that, in sentencing, there exist at least some judges who don't discriminate by sex or gender but rather by severity of the crime."

I too was glad to see the sentence she received with reservations. What made me most happy was the fact that the jury took almost no time to deliberate, as well they shouldn't. Also, all the major media I saw (then again, I basically watch Fox News and listen to Savage, OReielly etc.) felt she should be locked away for a long time. However, I can't help but wonder if she was a native Texan and a big haired blonde gal, would the jury have been more forgiving. I'm not saying they would, but it wouldn't surprise me. Our society can't stand seeing any white woman suffer. Also, I was shocked (sarcasm here) to see the defendant put on her big bright eyed and confused innocent look during deliberations. Women seem to often refer to the "I'm just a girl" routine when in court.

I'm more important! (as per the woman) (Score:0)

I heard on the news yesterday about a woman in Mass. who freaked out at the scene of a traffic fatality. She started screaming according to witnesses, and struck a highway patrolman with her car throwing him up on her hood, and sending him to the hospital with a serious knee injury. One witness said she screamed, "I don't care who died. I'm more important."

This story, Clara Harris, and a couple of other copy cats gives me an idea for a T-shirt. A petite woman with long hair, lip stick, red long finger nails, long eye lashes clutches the steering wheel of her vehicle. She has a glazed look in her eyes. Her vehicle is a 4 wheel drive, big foot type behemoth (monster truck). A cop is bouncing off the bumper, another guy is on the ground with a tire track on his back, and lets not forget to stick one in the windshield upside down (Texas style). Here's the clincher, and you just gotta love it. On the front license plate in big, big letters are the words "PRIMARY AGGRESSOR."

Everybody knows women use weapons to gain the advantage, when they go violent. Everybody, that is, except those liars in the domestic violence movement. I would love to wear this T-shirt to the next d.v. council meeting. Is there anybody out there who can draw?

Be sure to include a voice bubble with the words, "I don't care who dies. I'm more important." That pretty much covers the attitude of the domestic violence industry in America as they ignore the valid needs of male victims of domestic violence, along with all other forms of violence that are committed against men.
