On one hand, I wouldn't be surprised if people who committed such a heinous offense Chewbacca Defense'd their way out of a tough sentence, the way the American legal system is these days. But at the same time, take what you see in the news media with a grain of salt. The media has a tendency to exaggerate or otherwise make everything sound far worse and/or emotional than it actually is, because it sells newspapers and gets TV ratings. I'm not saying it didn't happen the way you said it did, I'm just saying you should look at the news skeptically.

Four assigned caregivers attacked one of their patients, an autistic woman. And that's not the worst part of it: these caregivers...I mean thugs...are sentenced to only one year in jail because no visible serious injuries were inflicted, nor could the autistic woman say anything about serious injury. If you want my opinion, I'd say they should get at least 20 years of jail (or even jail for life!) for the following reasons:
-They're caregivers, supposed to be responsible for those who can't handle themselves, not make their condition worse.
-Even if there were no serious injuries seen, there was enough pain for even an autistic person to cry.
-The four of them ganged up and attacked a helpless person. Regardless of how little that person suffers, attacking like that should warrant serious punishment.
-It's just ****ed up to treat autistic people like that. |
You have to wonder what she did that caused four people to snap like that.

You're absolutely right. I also feel the media has become too soft, especially with criminals or terrorists. Recently on the news, they managed to get a hold of a child molester (I hope this term isn't viewed offensive unless it's used as an insult). He had a video of one of his crimes, but the media still said "allegedly". How is that alleged? The video was practically a sworn confession.
There's another article I read about a year ago. It was obvious that the guy was doing what he did, but they still said "suspicion". I won't say because it's inappropriate, but PM me if you want to know what it is.

Wow. It's kind of surprising how many Aspies we have. O.O

You then think that they really aren't friendly. You then start complaining about it, but the so called "friends" aren't listening to you. They see this as fun, to break rules and to make silly jokes about it. You could not understand what they are doing, so you run away from them. |
That exact same thing happened to me once. O.o
