Let the Punishment Fit the Crime

Or, the screwin' ya get fer the screwin' ya got, as a wise old barfly advised me when I was just a tad.  He was talking about divorce and was somewhat bitter about it, which I couldn't understand then but am fully cognizant of now.  This is, of course, the man's point of view.  I imagine the woman's is somewhat different and might be more to the point.  Something along the lines of, 'Come near me again you sonuvabitch and I'll drop you with a deer rifle.'  At least if she has any sense and is fed up with being a combination dumping ground and punching bag for his worthless and ignorant, drunken and tar-heel stupid, just-got-fired-from-my-job-again fat ass.

That last is a bit verbose.  Any women wasting their time reading this feel free to help me out in the comments section.

The rest is a rant about the disciplinary action taken against two police officers regarding the Stormy Daniels arrest.  Read at your own risk.


Two Columbus Officers Fired Over Stormy Daniels Arrest
From the article:

...Steven Rosser, 43, a 19-year veteran, and Whitney Lancaster, 57, a member of the division for 32 years. In addition, Lt. Ronald Kimmerling, 51, a 24-year veteran, was suspended for six weeks, and Sgt. Scott Soha, 43, who has been with the division for 17 years, received a three-week suspension.

Prior to the November 2016 presidential election, Stormy Daniels (AKA Stephanie Clifford) claimed she'd been playing hide the salami with US Presidential Candidate Donald Trump - about ten years back.  Rather than have her vanish or commit suicide or fall victim to bad wiring during the filming of her next artistic endeavor, Trump's personal attorney paid Stormy $130 large to get lost and stay that way.  Like anyone would be able to keep this little gem hidden from the Moonbat press.

A bit off the subject, but I'd like to point out that President Donald Trump's wife, Melania, never threw anything at her husband in the middle of all this - unlike old Slick Willy who was almost brained by Hitlery with an ash-tray in the bedroom.

Sirens Gentleman's Club

On July 11^th of 2018, porn actress Stormy Daniels came to Columbus, Ohio and strutted her stuff at the Sirens Gentleman’s Club. It turns out that the vice squad of the Columbus PD was in the audience (imagine that!) and busted Stormy along with two other performers for violating the Ohio Look but Don't Touch law.

So Stormy's in the slammer.

As it ultimately shakes out, the arrests were bad, probably were politically motivated in one case, and Columbus City Attorney Zach Klein dropped the charges like a live grenade.

However-comma, Stormy has a lawyer who files a Federal suit, and the Columbus City Council folded up faster than a soaking wet cardboard box during the monsoon season in Vietnam.
Stormy got a settlement of $450,000 which she split with her attorney, and shook the dust of Columbus off her pretty feet.

Which, if you've been following right along, leaves the Columbus City Council looking stupid, and the CPD looking even stupider.  The Vice Unit got broken up, and the four cops involved in the arrest got unsuitably punished.  In particular:

1. Officer Steven Rosser, age 43 with 19 years on the force, got fired.
2. Officer Whitney Lancaster, age 57 with 32 years on the force, got fired.
3. Lieutenant Ronald Kimmerling, age 51 with 24 years on the force, was suspended for six weeks.
4. Sergeant Scott Soha, age 43 with 17 years on the force, was suspended for three weeks.

If you believe the local bird cage liner, Rosser was the one who fucked it all up.  The genius posted a bunch of pro-Trump crap on FaceBook and Twitter, and he works for a light-in-the-loafers local government, all of whom are firmly ensconced in Left Field.  The man's a genius.  Trust me, I know these things.

My real gripe here is that these sentences are over-the-top too stiff.  All these cops are over 40, which means their employment options in law enforcement are limited due to their august years.  Then there's the little matter of their pension.

To work your entire adult life at a job that requires you to associate with the very worst society has to offer, and to be patient with the countless assholes you and I see in traffic every single day, takes the patience of Job and the wisdom of Solomon.  I couldn't do it; I'd have given one hickory massage too many at the end of the first year and been terminated for racial discrimination or something.  Put all that time in, and then lose it all because you bust some low-life stripper who should've had the crap slapped out of her on the ride to the sneezer, and find out that the city council is too lily-livered to back you up?  That's just plain wrong.

Yeah, civil rights.  Yeah, extenuating circumstances.  If the chief of police had to punish these men, which he might have had to, give each of them a one week suspension with pay along with mandatory anger management training.  Add dealing with the mentally ill training as a sort of social statement to the Mayor and his butt-buddies.

I hear these sentences will be appealed to an arbitrator.  I hope so, and I hope that the arbitrator changes the sentences to something reasonable.
