He'll probably die a natural death soon. He has the look of a man with a serious heart condition. Too bad he wasted his youth and the years thereafter harming others for getting himself a cheap thrill. He will be paying for the extraordinary luxury of indulging his own lusts.

We can't asssume these crimes are not being committed as we type here. The abuse of children will not end with this one person, or just a few. A change of consciousness will be needed for that, but we as a world are struggling with reactionary forces that have increased, rather than decreased the crimes against children worldwide.

This ain't over. We are only getting a partial healing by this man being put away where he can't hurt anyone now.

Wow! I'm surprised a prison population would be familiar with that song. sadbear Jun 2012 #1

There are lots of musically literate, creative, and talented people in prisons slackmaster Jun 2012 #2

Yup. elleng Jun 2012 #5

You are right on, sadbear. slackmaster Jun 2012 #4

as Cenk would say......Of courrrrrse! robinlynne Jun 2012 #88

I'm not. They'd have to be from another planet to NOT be familiar with that song. It's an anthem. freshwest Jun 2012 #7

Why does that surprise you? Blue_In_AK Jun 2012 #9

That song wasn't so old back in the 80's. sadbear Jun 2012 #11

But it's kind of a classic, you've got to admit. Blue_In_AK Jun 2012 #15

Absolutely it's a classic. sadbear Jun 2012 #17

On that we agree. Blue_In_AK Jun 2012 #19

I'm a big fan of 'dark sarcasm in the classroom,' fwiw. I prefer coalition_unwilling Jun 2012 #117

The dark sarcasm by the teachers was about crushing youthful creativity. I prefer this cage song: freshwest Jun 2012 #120

Great song. Speaking of 'Cage,' have you heard this song by the band Cage the Elephant? coalition_unwilling Jun 2012 #123

No problem! Stargazer09 Jun 2012 #26

I'm still confused...who is Bubba supposed to be in the linked article? alcibiades_mystery Jun 2012 #29

Bubba is the guy who butt-fucks you in prison. dogknob Jun 2012 #54

I believe you mean rape, which is a violent crime, not "butt-fuck" obamanut2012 Jun 2012 #97

There are some... awoke_in_2003 Jun 2012 #57

I always associate Bubba with Bill Clinton Voice for Peace Jun 2012 #81

I always thought the word was a nickname, meaning "Brother," in many southern MADem Jun 2012 #139

it must be this part that's been co-opted Voice for Peace Jun 2012 #140

When used as a put-down, it's usually by the wealthier classes who consider the working class MADem Jun 2012 #142

bubba datasuspect Jun 2012 #109

I will take you at your word that you did not mean rape Bjorn Against Jun 2012 #34

I had never heard that. Are_grits_groceries Jun 2012 #37

Thanks, I have made similar mistakes before Bjorn Against Jun 2012 #42

Wish I wasn't. Iggo Jun 2012 #36

Nah. If someone mentions "Bubba" in an anticipatory way, that's what they're hoping for. Posteritatis Jun 2012 #68

"Bubba" functions as a combination underclass agent of bourgeois vengeance and a classic... Tom Ripley Jun 2012 #96

So you're averring that this mythical "Bubba" could just as easily beat a child molester with a lead MADem Jun 2012 #145

There are some who actually think this is a good idea. lapislzi Jun 2012 #119

Is that YOUR definition? Are_grits_groceries Jun 2012 #35

No. It's one definition, and a widely known one at that. Iggo Jun 2012 #43
