I'm just gonna say it: at some point, a person becomes a serious threat and needs to be isolated from society forever. That point is waaaaaaay before molesting 71 children. If you slap someone on the wrists too many times, their hands just go numb.

I say give him to the kid's parents.

In Florida this guy would get the chair.

[–] thefartographer@lemm.ee 11 points 2 years ago

Or he'd hold an elected position for decades

[–] redtea@lemmygrad.ml 6 points 2 years ago

I can't say that I agree with many Floridian laws but this is one I could get behind. To put it mildly, what a pos.

So, 6 months jail time for permanently traumatizing a single child? "Think of the children" indeed!

"Think of the children!"

The priest:

If you think that's bad, here's the joke I was going to post but thought it was in bad taste:

The priest wasn't interested in converting to Islam, he had his 72 virgins already.

I like my humor dark!

[–] Daqu@feddit.de 29 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Less than a year per child? That's not enough.

[–] metaStatic@kbin.social 9 points 2 years ago

if I only had to pay 7 months ... nah, I can't finish that sentence.

[–] BruceTwarzen@kbin.social 10 points 2 years ago

It's always the ones you most expect.

[–] metaStatic@kbin.social 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

imagine being one of the other 71 people being told this one's pain is worth 12 months

[–] digitalgadget@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

Why was he even allowed access to the 72nd one? Isn't there some point where we decide this isn't going to stop?

[–] ComradeChairmanKGB@lemmygrad.ml 6 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children)

Muslims have to wait until after death to get their 72 virgins. Christians get them in this life. Which religion is superior I ask you?

[–] honeynut@lemm.ee 5 points 2 years ago
[–] BreadOven@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Obviously no religion. They all are useless in my books.

No one should need some "ancient texts" to tell them how to not be a piece of human garbage.

Christianity and Islam are probably the two major ones who have caused the most death out of any.

Just be a good person.

Clergy does attract this sort of shit... how come we only finding this out recently?

[–] DrCatface@lemmy.ml 8 points 2 years ago

had a workmate ponder why this sorta stuff only comes up 20 yrs later, I saw red and yelled well put yourself in their shoes you wouldn't want to talk about it either

[–] Deceptichum@kbin.social 8 points 2 years ago

Because we blocked our ears for so long.

[–] o0joshua0o@lemmy.world -2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Maybe Australia should bring back the death penalty.

[–] InvertedParallax@lemm.ee 10 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Australia WAS the death penalty.

[–] fuser@quex.cc 6 points 2 years ago

Especially if you were indigenous.

[–] Deceptichum@kbin.social 7 points 2 years ago

Nah.

We don’t want to be as disgusting as this person.
