Brock Turner Freed From Jail After Serving Half Of 6-Month Sentence

http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2016/09/02/492390163/brock-turner-freed-from-jail-after-serving-half-of-6-month-sentence

Three months after he received a lenient punishment for sexually assaulting an unconscious woman at Stanford University, Brock Turner left the Santa Clara County Main Jail on Friday morning. He served half of a six-month sentence that drew a furious public response.


The Stanford rapist is on the loose again. I have an opinion about whether justice was served, but good taste prevents me from posting it.

Seriou, s questions:

Der Trumpenfuehrer has really stepped in it big time. (Bigly?) Inviting the Russians to hack an opponent is beyond the pale to just about anyone. If the Rs can convince him to quit the race now, or if he chooses to quit because he won't be able to stand losing, what happens? Will Pence go on to be the nominee? Will the Rs hold another convention? Will Mr. Second Place (Cruz) be on the ballot? Will Hillary run unopposed?

What happens if this takes place in October? Or after ballots have been printed? Will they call for delaying the election?

Chick-fil-A employees were at work in Orlando Sunday

Chick-fil-A employees were seen distributing sandwiches and ice tea to those who waited several hours in line to donate blood in addition to the hundreds of law enforcement officials who responded to the shooting scene.


Class act. It's good to know that things like this can happen.

"Bigly"

OMG. Just, OMG. If there were no other reason to vote against Trump, "bigly" would be enough . . .

Question about the Hammond case

I've done a little reading and found out that the Hammonds were sentenced a couple of years ago and served their sentences. How is it then legal for the court to re-sentence them?
