> [@Monty](#): > > This abhorrent sentencing agreement cannot be constitutional. Louisiana is the only state in the US that has physical castration as a legal punishment, and it was only instituted recently. One of the people who drafted the bill was a Democrat. [NPR: What to know about Louisiana’s new surgical castration law](https://www.npr.org/2024/07/01/nx-s1-5020686/louisiana-new-surgical-castration-law) > One of the drafters of the bill, Democratic state Rep. Delisha Boyd, told NPR the law will be a strong deterrent for would-be child sex abusers and would protect children. > “Some of the critics say, you know, that’s cruel and unusual punishment. Well, I disagree. I think the cruel and usual punishment was the rape of that 5 year old," Boyd said. Cutting off someone’s genitalia is certainly cruel, and as for being unusual? > The use of surgical castration as punishment, which is a permanent procedure that involves the surgical removal of the testicles or ovaries ostensibly to stop the production of sex hormones, is rare elsewhere around the world. The Czech Republic, [Madagascar](https://apnews.com/article/madagascar-castration-law-andry-rajoelina-rape-criticism-d5efb32b72e48929f95fae1e6d7baefd) and [a state in Nigeria](https://apnews.com/article/virus-outbreak-africa-nigeria-crime-02e1f84c14857da31f824da31866fed8) have such laws on the books that have been strongly criticized by [Amnesty International](https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/news/2024/02/madagascar-authorities-must-repeal-the-legalization-of-chemical-and-surgical-castration-of-rapists/) and other human rights organizations. What a big fucking disappointment that woman is. And the defense of such an obviously unconstitutional law is “child rape is worse”. Really strong argument, idiot. ---

Mind you this is for a case where the offender is a would-be rapist. Their bloodlust extensds to the attempt. And where does she get the idea that punishments provided for in law are actually deterrents? I don’t know about you, but it’s not the law that keeps from killing, stealing, raping, etc. my way through each and every day. ---

Assuming he doesn’t get parole, which seems like a fairly safe assumption, he’ll be 77 the next time he could possibly be around children. Does kind of seem like piling on. ---

They also minimized NOx which was the single largest contributor to photochemical smog, and the resultant power loss led the manufacturers to implement electronic fuel injection and actually put some effort into engine design which has had fuel economy benefits across the board, which in turn has allowed you, the average American, to continue to afford to drive a car. Well, maybe not all of the results of putting catalytic converters on cars were good. ---

Sounds like he’s better and jealous because this guy is running a businesses in the spot what he wanted to run one. Instead of going before the zoning board to see if you can get it rezoned, he went full racist instead. > He said that years ago he wanted to operate a business on the property where Monkeys Garage is, but was told by previous town officials he couldn’t do so because it’s in a residential neighborhood. But don’t worry, he’s actually not racist, in fact he “has tenants who are “Spanish,” Black, white and Muslim.” But he also said, referring to some car accidents in front of his house “involved drivers that he believed were not legally in the country because they didn’t speak English.” I’m always amazed that people can be so convinced they’re right that they’ll say this stuff to a reporter. Anyways, after going full racist over a zoning issue, what’s he going to do when the city tells up his sign violates their sign ordinance(s)? I wouldn’t be surprised if his name is back in the news when the city demands he takes the sign down and/or fines him. ---

The bloke accused of the Australian shooting of three cops (two deceased, one seriously injured) is still on the loose in the Victorian high-country. It’s bloody cold and wet up there, and two storm fronts are due to come raging in over the next couple of days. Either he’s holed up in a cave in the mountains, or he’s managed to escape via a vehicle, so no telling when they’ll capture him.
