Kickbacks or Not
Kickbacks or not... This idea that hard sentencing is the way to rehabilitation is disgusting and is based completely on ignorance & fear.
Ciavarella is now getting a taste of his own medicine. Hard time buddy, enjoy it.
No kidding, I kept thinking that if he wasn't handing down those draconian sentences for minor offences for the money, that almost makes it worse. That just means he's a psychotic mad man that the system should have weeded out long before he reached such a powerful position. The judge that sentenced him should have told him the harsh sentence was for his own benefit, he's just looking out for his best interest.
shareSo... You are bigoted against the mentally ill? A group that is targeted for no reason. And you claim t o tale the high road?
shareYou know, that's a good point, I hadn't thought of it that way before, probably shouldn't have used that terminology.
shareWow, a well thought out, reasonable response to criticism on the internet. I salute you, sir.☺

You used the right terminology. Don't let someone who completely missed your point take away from your point, which was spot on. Her latching onto that was the equivalent of pointing out a typo.
No need to apologize. share
Yes, need to apologize. And he did.People are much more likely to be the victim of violence and abuse if they are mentally ill- You people have more in common with this guy than you think You call harmful slurs "typo's". Are racist and sexist slurs also fine?
shareSo... You are bigoted against the mentally ill?
So you think mentally ill people should be judges? I mean, we wouldn't want to hurt anyone's feelings now would we? share

Could not agree more. If there wasn't money involved that would make him 10 times more sick in the head. The money makes his motives a bit more understandable. You take that off the table and this guy is just flat out nuts.
That just means he's a psychotic mad man that the system should have weeded out long before he reached such a powerful position.
I can't believe that one poster missed your point entirely (probably for the purpose of getting on her own high horse) and gave you a lecture. Obviously if there were no money the guy would be a psychopath. We can't just change the meanings of words b/c someone got their feelings hurt. You are a good guy for apologizing to her though. B/c she certainly didn't deserve one.
The judge that sentenced him should have told him the harsh sentence was for his own benefit, he's just looking out for his best interest.
It was funny that when he was on trial he was acting like the victim. "What am I supposed to tell my grandchildren?" Um, I don't that you are a huge piece of garbage and deserve to sit in a cage until you die? Yeah, tell them that. share
