You were thinking "older than me, because duh!"  :P

Luckily, you were thinking older than me, as well.  Maybe even older than KRonn and RH.

All that said, the sentence is harsh.  A misdemeanor with a fine/community service or whatever would be appropriate IMO.

And everybody sane would agree. But our lawmakers are not sane.
Our lawmakers are not sane because our voters are not sane.  Let's stop with this vapid "politicians are dumb and stupid" bullshit.

This is what happens when we hand political power over to the old people, instead of executing them en masse as I have been advising all along. :)

Exactly. Once a person reaches 30 years of age, they should be culled.

Oh good thing I'm having my 2nd 29th birthday this year. :)

They're not getting 15 years for public humping.  He's getting 15 for committing 2 felonies within 3 years.

I'll be interested to see what she gets, since she has no prior stuff on her record.  The article here says they're asking for jail time for her (vs. prison for dude who just got done with 8 years for cocaine trafficking).

E:  Apparently everything less than a year goes to jail in Florida.

It's ridiculous that this is a felony. It should be a misdemeanor.
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

How much should the ticket be for opening your raincoat and whacking off in the elementary school playground?

Not at all the same crime. :rolleyes:

Come on man, even Derspeiss thinks this sentence is way over the top.

I also think 15 years for committing two felonies in 3 years is excessive.  However, that doesn't address the question of whether humping on the beach should be a felony or a misdemeanor (or nothing).  If it should be a misdemeanor, should Raincoat Boy also be charged with a misdemeanor?  If not, why not?

The reason wacking off in a playground ought to be treated more seriously is that the wacker is deliberately targeting children - it's a form of harrassment/intimidation.

Not all public exposure is the same.

A drunk dude pissing in an alleyway isn't 'just the same' as a man deliberately exposing himself to schoolkids while wacking off - so treating them both the same (with prision terms/sex offender status) is unjust, a waste of time, and counterproductive - for example, diluting the sex offender registry with guys pissing in alleyways makes it less useful.

This, even though an aspect of the two actions is the same - public exposure.
