wow. sentence is like 2.5 years per rape. what a low sentence.

sure pays to be a white male, with power and privilege, wasn't he a assistant city attorney?

wow. sure glad our justice system is so equal, and fair.

who paid his lawyers anyway, was it us, the public? he could a got life. they did a great job keeping this serial racist rapist out of a life term, he will be able to get back on the streets while he has many years of life left. good job, lawyers!

Raping Asian women-- hate crime?

Fast lanes already exist; they are called private networks.

The public internet should remain equal access.

If you want a faster network, build a private one.

This "confusion" between the nature of public and private is what happens when you hand public infrastructure and spectrum over to private, for-profit companies; eventually, what was public and inclusive becomes private and exclusive.

@2

Exactly.

See Anova-Tech.com

The 1% want their own private nanosecond networks, but they want to segregate and exploit the broader population's internet to pay for their private networks.

Segregating the internet also serves the purpose of providing more ways of selectively slowing and shutting down access to those people who might oppose or disrupt the status quo that favors the ruling duopoly of the Democratic and Republican parties.

Where are the voices of African nations (all the other 52 on the continent and associated islands) for those missing girls?

Oil rich nations like Libya?

Or the many African billionaires from South Africa?

Why does that continent sleep when these crimes occur?

@5, Nigeria is oil rich - the inequity and corrupt government we fund helps this asshole group recruit. Don't worry about assigning blame from your couch in Seattle.

New Balance? Must be a Normcore victim.

@8 blame whitey, eh?

I wish the First Lady and others would also acknowledge the massarce that occurred yesterday in Nigeria:

http://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/ma…

Another report indicated over 300 civilians killed by Boko Haram. Nigeria is in chaos. This is an absolutely horrible tragedy in addition to the kidnappings.

@11, blaming black and green. Unrest develops when a few get everything, and the rest are kept in abject poverty.

@1,

I seriously doubt that Grant relied on public defenders for his defense.

" Unrest develops when a few get everything, and the rest are kept in abject poverty."

Hmmmm. Surely there's easier thing to steal than young girls? like iPhones?
17
@16: iPhones are easier to steal but easier to replace. This wasn't about the kidnappers having something; it was about their victims' families losing things precious to them.

Supposedly, Putin called for delay in another separatist Ukrainian vote. But he is so deceitful, he could be telling them what to do instead despite what he says.

"Raping Asian women-- hate crime?"

So raping white women is not a hate crime?
20
"it was about their victims' families losing things precious to them."

Ahhh, so it's got nothing to do with poverty. Everything to do with a fucked up culture.
21
@18: of course they're doing what he says - they're Russian Special Forces. Putin uses lies to sow confusion and keep his opponents off balance.

Please wait...
