"Jubilation turned to anger Monday after Georgia's top prosecutor vowed he would fight a judge's order that would have set free Genarlow Wilson, a Georgia man serving a 10-year prison sentence for a consensual sexual encounter he had as a teenager.
...
Monday, acting on a petition filed by his attorneys, Monroe County Superior Court Judge Thomas Wilson ruled that Genarlow Wilson's punishment was cruel and unusual and voided it on constitutional grounds. The judge reduced the sentence to one year and said Wilson should not be put on Georgia's sex offender registry, as the old law required."

Essay here. Excerpt:
'It starts with the mainstream media; you won't find a lot of respect for, or truth about men there. Also, today's feminist-driven domestic violence laws don't address the reality of female-perpetrated child abuse, violence, partner aggression or psychological abuse. Battered (even bruised and bleeding) fathers have been arrested after calling the police for help with an out-of-control partner. "Primary aggressor" and "no-drop" policies are part of the problem.

“I’ll beat up Blake when I’m drunk. I don’t think I’ve ever bruised him, but I do have my way. If he says one thing I don’t like then I’ll chin him.

"Desperate women who fear they might be HIV-positive are allegedly laying false rape complaints with police to jump the queue for anti-retroviral drugs to prevent infection.
Port Elizabeth police say the increase in rape cases over the last year had been “incredible”, but the complainants seemed to disappear as soon as they were treated with post-exposure ARV drugs."

Essay here. Excerpt:
"Men have begun fighting back against what they now perceive to be bias toward women's health, lobbying the past few years for a federal Office of Men's Health. Ultimately, of course, no one wins the war of healthier-than-thou, while another layer of bureaucratic one-upmanship is just that.
A better means for improving men's health -- and saving the males -- is for women to recognize that males are in trouble and that a world without men, while perhaps calmer, would be far less interesting and fun.
As we've recently witnessed, when women want something, they usually get it."

Everyone remember the boy that got 10 years for getting oral sex from a consenting 15 year old? Well, a judge effectively voided that sentence. Article here. Excerpt:
"A Georgia judge ordered the release Monday of a man sentenced to 10 years in prison for having consensual oral sex with a 15-year-old girl when he was 17."
I put "Man" in quotes because the guy involved is 17 years old. Nice try, mainstream media.

Remember this one? Update here. Excerpt:
"ERIE, Pennsylvania — A mother who admitted swinging her 4-week-old son like a bat to hit her boyfriend, fracturing the infant's skull, wants to withdrew her guilty plea.
Chytoria Graham, 27, of Erie, asked to withdraw her plea Friday — the day she was to be sentenced to at least five years in prison.
Under an agreement with prosecutors, Graham had pleaded guilty in March to aggravated assault and endangering the welfare of a child; reckless endangerment and simple assault charges were dropped.
Graham now says she was not responsible for the injuries to Jarron Troop, who has since recovered."

MRA commentator Carey Roberts asks – “In a country that prides itself on the "innocent until proven guilty" principle, how do we account for these legal travesties?
In some cases, the false accusers were emotionally unstable. Other times the women acted out of spite and vindictiveness.”

First New York wants to put Dog Tags on men accused of domestic violence and then THIS. Excerpt:
"Two years after a man shot his wife and later killed himself in Quakertown, officials in the Upper Bucks borough will likely urge commonwealth legislators to create a state-wide Internet registry of domestic violence offenders to help prevent such tragedies from happening again.
Borough council expects to approve a resolution tonight calling on the Legislature to pass a bill known as “Robin's Law.”
Introduced in the state House on May 31, the bill would create a Megan's Law-style database. Instead of sexual predators though, the picture, address and crime of domestic violence convicts will be posted online for anyone to see, according to a preliminary draft of the bill."

"CONCORD, N.H. - A soldier charged with desertion while fighting for custody of her 7-year-old daughter has been granted an honorable discharge from the Army, her lawyer said Saturday.
...
Hayes, 32, was serving her second tour of duty in
Iraq when she learned of possible domestic violence in the home of her ex-husband, Tim Knight, who had primary custody of Brystal.
According to police and Hayes, Knight was a victim in one domestic violence incident, and a second involved a fight between his mother and girlfriend. The judge who awarded Hayes temporary custody said Knight's problems with alcohol and a stormy relationship with his girlfriend made his home unsuitable for Brystal.
...
After her surrender at Fort Dix on Tuesday, Army lawyers helped her refile for a hardship discharge and it was granted within hours, Theroux said.
...
A custody hearing is scheduled Tuesday, Theroux said."

Check this out:
"A mother is upset after a 14-year-old babysitter engaged in sexual conduct with her eight-year-old boy, and the eight-year-old was charged with lewd conduct.
...
Grosbeck says the Salt Lake County District Attorney told her both the child and teenager were equal participants. But Mrs. Grosbeck didn’t believe that.
“My son is eight, he’s a little boy. He does not have the ability to participate on the same level as a fourteen-year-old,” she said.
Although the charges against her son were dropped, she is concerned that the same thing could happen to other victims of sexual abuse."
Why did they drop the charges on the boy? They had a serious sexual predator on their hands! I ask once again, what's wrong with the people in charge of our justice system?

Toronto father takes daughter for a walk.
Cops called, 4-hour manhunt ensues... excerpt:
"It's a classic case of how looks can truly be deceiving. After a frantic four hour-plus search through a heavily wooded area, police at last have an answer in a case that paralyzed part of the downtown core late Thursday. A young girl they believed had been abducted was found safe, sound and never in any real danger.
...
It was the finale many expected would come to pass because police never received any calls about a missing child, something that most certainly would have happened had a little girl been gone for that long.
In the end, it was a complete and expensive overreaction, but one that cops couldn't afford not to take."
