WTF Teen sentenced to 10 years of church.

[sbr]

Can you imagine Viking forced to attend church for 10 years?  It has all the making of a fish out of water comedy, in which by the end both sides learn just a *little* more love and tolerance for one another.

Well, either that or a shock film about a small town lynching.

Viking's pretty crazy, but I don't think even he could lynch a whole small town by himself.

~1040 hours of church spaced out over 10 years or ~35,000 hours (assuming 4 year sentence) in prison. 

This is a decision?

Well, didn't we decide that women couldn't do math?

Must graduate welding school?

Key to being a good citizen.

Their bodies tell them not to.

Definitely would rather give up my Sunday mornings than have to go to prison for a few years.
Though not being able to go on holiday would suck

I'm guessing you don't know how long 30 days is.

does it say the guy has to pay attention in the church?

[viper37]

If I got to choose which spiritual group I spent my time with, sure. If I had to go to church every Sunday, then, no, I don't know that I could do that for 10 years.

So you'd rather just do several full years in prison?

How many years?

Quick search gave me:

Because first offense Oklahoma DUI is a misdemeanor, a fatal DUI accident would fall under the first definition of manslaughter in the first degree.  First-degree manslaughter in Oklahoma is a felony punishable by four years to life in prison.

It's 4 years, with the option of parole after 1/3 or 2/3? 2-3 years in jail VS Church for 10.  Give me the jail, please.

You realize you only have to go to church for 1 hour once a week right?

I'm guessing there's more to it than this. Can you leave the country while on probation? Or even the state?

The church isn't much of an issue. 10 years is.

I don't think actually that there are those requirements on it but who knows. In this case, I do know that the attorney of the kid said that his client already attends church every sunday so this won't be much of an imposition.

I suspect that there's some lee-way there.  Yeah, being tied to the same spot for 10 years would suck, but I don't think people on probation are prohibited from leaving the area they live in for short periods of time so long as they notify their probation officer of the dates and times they'll be gone.

It would depend on the exact terms of his probation.

I had to go 4-5hr a year while younger, and that was too much.

Unfortunately, I don't think Canada has something against "cruel and unusual punishment".  Besides, in my experience, American mass tend to be more than just 1hr.  No, I don't think I could survive.
