We learn a little bit more about Brits

I'm happy to live in The South.
GREENSBORO --

A former Davie County middle-school teacher who prosecutors say took nude pictures of a 14-year-old girl he taught was sentenced Thursday in U.S. District Court to 30 years in prison on federal child pornography charges.

Doug Ebersbach, 52, also will be on lifetime supervision once he is released and cannot have contact with children under 18, Judge William Osteen Jr. ordered Thursday.

His access to computers also will be restricted, and he must register as a sex offender.

Ebersbach was accused of taking pictures of the girl, whom he taught at South Davie Middle School. He still faces charges in Davie County of first-degree statutory rape and other sex offenses related to the girl.

Yes, we have crazy judges too.

I just blows my mind that people can be so fucked up in their thinking....expecially a judge in this case.....

How does the public tolerate it ? And why ?

What the fuck are they thinking....or is that just reckless ignorant liberalism showing itself ?

Judges in this country are a law unto themselves. They aren't political appointments, more a result of the traditional 'old boy network'. Once appointed they can't really be sacked so we tend to end up with public school (although it's private school in the US isn't it - what you have to pay for anyway) and Oxbridge educated elitists dominating the legal profession and, hence, the judiciary. Needless to say, there is something of a disconnect between this level of society and the 'general public'.

It is changing slowly, but not nearly fast enough.

I read you 5 by 5......we give these elitists more respect than they deserve, more money than they're worth, more power than is wise, and exert no control which is dangerous.....and we expect them to have at lease a much fuckin' common sense as we have.....wrong on all counts, huh ?:dunno::doh:

It sounds like a revolution is in order- something Brits have historically been on the wrong side of.
