Carlos a little piece of advice, It would go a lot smoother if you managed to get your constituents jobs as probation officers and court officers like everyone else

Stacking the patronage deck to favour our aristocrats how noble!

Now, Carlos is not that smart, true. But who hasn't had a midnight booty call end in tears and recriminations?

It's not usual for a first-offender in a he said/she said domestic violence case with no real injuries to get jail time. It's usually probation with a "batterers' program."

The hack judge, Michele Hogan, wanted to earn some fame by hammering him, along with her sanctimonious comments. He would have been better off if he had a groundskeeping job in the Housing Department, like his momma should have got him. Then he would have got probation.

Now the castrated white knights and feminazis in the House have engineered this spectacle of bringing the black man in chains to face their pharisaical speeches. An auto-da-fem.

Makes ya sick.

I don't think you hit all your targets.

Poor Carlos - convicted abuser, facing consequences. Ah yes, blame women for not liking to be assaulted and saying something.

People like you make me sick.

Would have let him out on $50 bail.

I don't really agree with any of this, except that the handcuffs don't make a lot of sense. Was that done just to humiliate him?

If he pled out and admitted that he had some sort of anger/substance abuse/mental health problem, the court may have gone that route. But he denied doing those things, and a jury/ judge didn't believe him.

That thug gets to pocket his $175k/year salary while sitting in jail, unless he resigns? If that's the case, there's no way in he'll you'll see him resigning - where else can an illiterate thug get paid this much just for showing up to a few meetings?

Upon further review, Richard Sherman has nothing on this thug.

Sherman tried to be sportsmanlike to Crabtree and offered to shake his hand. In return, Crabtree shoved Sherman on the facemask.

And everything Sherman said is true.

Deval Patrick makes 152K. This putz is probably good for half that (on the books)

Not too bad - that's why we have so many career politicians who would do anything to keep their seat. Where else can one get so much for doing so little?

I don't know about wherever it is you're posting from, but here on my planet, "Earth," the United States legislature and state legislatures are entirely different entities, and the salary of U.S. reps is completely irrelevant when discussing state reps.
