And...California passed Prop 57, which increases parole chances for "non-violent" felons....which can include rapists...

as long as they "non-violently" rape an unconscious victim.

Jesus, California.

Looking at this issue, if it's not defined in the state constitution, it would be up to the courts to define what a non-violent crime is. - Roger More Nov 9, 04:53

- Right? I mean I just can't fathom how this passed, unless people just didn't read past the vague Prop description. -- nm - IrishStephen Nov 9, 01:18 1
  - It passed because people read the part about it saving lots of money. They didn't read the opposition about what types of crimes aren't considered - jnine Nov 9, 01:37
And it's a Constitutional Amendment. The problems with the way it's written can't be changed by the Legislature. -- nm - jnine Nov 9, 00:40 1
- Yep, so fucked. -- nm - IrishStephen Nov 9, 01:19
