Yes LaFave Is Too Pretty To Go To Jail

Too pretty to go to jail?
The Debra LaFave trial is finally over and yes I’m a little late on the issue. This is one of those topics I was going to let go, but the incessant whining of conservative groups and individuals including Sean Hannity & Bill O’Reilly has really annoyed the hell out of me.
There are all kinds of complaints through the entire case. The plea deal that allowed her to skip jail time outraged the judge and the general public. Prosecutors didn’t want to put the “victim” on the stand so a deal was reached with defense attorneys. No problem there. A District Attorney is supposed to negotiate deals that are to the benefit of the community. In my opinion any DA that immediately seeks jail time is a slacker and needs to be voted out of office at the next election. It costs the taxpayer approximately $40,000 per year to house convicts. Community service, house arrest, or paying civil restitution is more preferable than prison for those of us on the outside. Since LaFave did not commit a violent felony she should not be in prison.
The next question I have is it really possible for a teenaged male to be a victim? Georgia changed its statute on Statutory Rape in 1996 raising the age of consent to 16 and making allowances for males to be victims. I had a major problem with both high points of the legislation. If you’re old enough to pull the trigger and kill people then there’s no arguing that you’re too young to not understand the implications of what you are doing. America in general has a problem with believing that children are ignorant until they turn 18 or 21. I also question whether or not a male can be a victim in this case. If you’re not willing you’re not going to get it up, but let’s face it teenaged boys are all too willing to get it up for hot chicks, ugly chicks, skinny chicks, or fat chicks. The only question here to ask is if the boy was willing and able to get it up. If he wasn’t he must be a fag. Ok, that was insensitive. He may have a testosterone deficiency so we can make exceptions for medical issues.
Speaking of that, what is up with the kid’s mom? She was outraged that LaFave didn’t get jail time for what was done to her precious little boy. Earth to whiny parent, your son just scored with a hot chick. If you’ve got a problem with LaFave then you also must have a problem with him doing the popular hot cheerleader in his class too. See, to guys a notch in your belt is a notch in your belt. At that age quantity is important, but popularity and looks are bonuses. Scoring with the hot popular cheerleader is the high point for most adolescent boys, but scoring with your teacher especially if she’s hot is going to have you labeled as the mega stud among your classmates. In the end kid’s mom had to come along and ruin his ego trip. Now all the kids at school are going to be teasing the poor boy because it’s obvious his mother wants him to be taking it up the ass by a male teacher. Girls his age won’t touch him now because they’ll be afraid of going to jail for molesting him. Way to go mom. Your son is on his way to becoming a queen. No big deal though, gay people need love too.
Finally the defense attorneys need some credit. People are upset that they argued she was too pretty to go to jail. All I have to say is “M4d l33t pR0pz t0 j00 L4wY3rz!!!111”. One reason the general public is outraged is no attorney had the balls to argue that people should get a pass based on their looks. What a great idea! I can go along with this argument. The liberal components of America see anything of this nature as a problem since we want fairness and equality for all people.
Studies have shown that ugly people are more likely to end up in jail. Why buck statistics? Why put good looking people away while allowing potential criminals to walk the streets? Perhaps the solution to be fair from now on is to create a world that Scott Westerfeld describes in his book Uglies. If everyone has cosmetic surgery at the same age to become the standard of beauty then there will be no arguing by lawyers that someone is too pretty to go to jail. If everyone is beautiful the possibility of someone arguing that because they were ugly they had a messed up childhood and needed to rob a bank and kill people because of said messed up childhood would be greatly reduced. Liberals should love the idea that the playing field will be finally leveled.
While we’re at it let’s also touch on fairness. Is it right that LaFave is getting special treatment because she’s an attractive woman? Is it right that a male teacher would be buired under the jail while she walks free? Yes, it is. People are different get over it. One tradeoff is that men statistically earn more money than women over their entire lifetime. Use that money for a better defense attorney or to contribute to the district attorney’s reelection fund. If you can’t use your good looks or personality to influence people then use your money. It’s what we do in Vietnam.
One thing that modern Americans hate is their European heritage where privilege was granted based on your last name and who you were related to. If you were one of the King’s noblemen you managed to get things in life that peasants never dreamed of. In reality America is no different today, except we have done away with birthright and replaced it with occupation, popularity, and money. Athletes and the very wealthy have the ability to get away with more than the middle or lower classes. Liberal thought would tell us that the filthy rich need to be knocked down to the level of the majority.
Fortunately we Asians understand the game when we come here. Did you ever wonder why Asian parents ride their kids hard and expect them to be over achievers in athletics and academics? The reason is that Asians understand that hard work is the key to an easy life in America. If you become the high flying lawyer you’ll have money buy the luxuries in life and influence others to let you have your way. If you become a professional athlete you’ll have fame and money. Models and actors also have a similar pass because they’re good looking and have money.
Instead of whining about the filthy rich and famous (white people I’m talking to you) and whining about how “the man” is holding you back (black people I’m talking to you) build yourselves to where you’ll end up with advantages over other people. If you don’t you’ll have a slanty eyed person who is fresh off the boat seeking a career where they may not be “happy” in the same sense you are, but they will be going farther than those who just seek a job they’re happy at. I commend people of all races who understand that there is a tradeoff between traditional American happiness and success with elite privilege.
