Same As It Ever Was
What's the punishment for beating up two black girls these days? Well, if you're a racist skinhead from a wealthy family, apparently it's 5 years probation, 200 hours of community service, and a couple of museum trips.
The D.A.'s response floors me. I realize that D.A.'s have to tread carefully around judges, but still.
"Judge Spurlock's sentence is one that addresses the very nature of the underlying offense,” said Suffolk County District Attorney Daniel F. Conley in a written statement. “Obviously we felt that committed time would also have been appropriate, but this lengthy probationary term, with these strict and very appropriate conditions, is a wise and thoughtful sentence.”
"Wise and thoughtful?" I don't think so. How about "Far too lenient and entitling." I mean, really, how seriously do you think this guy is going to take a couple of museum trips?
