Bad Girls Club Mexico: Girls Gone Ham

And we’re back! Because I have a million things on my mind tonight, this might end up being random thoughts that run through my head, with limited sequiturs, as the episode unfolds. I mean, yeah, that’s how most of these posts go already, but this will be really bad. Sorry.

Seriously, can we bring back the days when the girls had a job to do? Letting them all just sit here and plot and play games is just annoying. It paints a really ugly picture of what women are like. I know that they’re all young, and so still in that hypercritical stage, but damn.

Rima… breaking down about wanting someone to tell you they love you… I get the sentiment, I really do, but were you expecting to find that here? In the Bad Girls Club? In a city, in a town, in a country in which you know no one? This isn’t The Bachelor, you’re not going to meet some stranger and be in love with each other in a matter of weeks.

I actually forgot Rima had a son. Mehgan’s assertion that Rima isn’t about her child isn’t entirely off base. There is no reason mothers cannot be Bad Girls. However, a Bad Girl is not a bad girl, and sometimes Rima really is a bad girl. Frankly, they all are. A lot of times, these girls (and ones from other seasons too) are like dudes. That shit isn’t even cute. And it begs the question again, how the hell do these chicks get into relationships with guys? I don’t understand.

I can’t tell if Julie’s plan to drive a wedge between Erika and Rima worked or backfired. I’m not sure who she was trying to run off. It seemed like she was trying to retain Rima to her little team, but it looks like it came off the opposite way.

Julie hits like a little bitch. I’m still on the fence on Rima, but I’m glad she threw down on Julie. All those little scraps between Julie and Christina were nothing compared to that. Boom. Julie is slowly edging Mehgan out as the biggest bitch. And… really? You whipped Rima’s ass? Um… you got one hit in, and it was weak as hell. Rima got at least five good hits to the back of your head and quite a few kicks to the gut.

Messing with the email was NOT cool. Fuck that. I draw a serious line there. Fuck those bitches.

Rima… your man is pathetic. “Be strong and stick it out.” He doesn’t even sound like he cares. Dump him. I watch so many girls on this show with the lamest boyfriends ever. Be better. Do better.

Julie, you again. “Why are you here, no one invited you!” about a bird? You live in an open air house, you dumb fuck. Oh I hate her, I hate her so much.  Alex – you need to check who you’re friends with. You’re proud of your friend for what she does?

I’m with Christina on this. Mattress in the pool. So last season. And season before last. And before that. And before that. Oh, and before that. Someone really needs to come up with something new. Maybe some Hangover shit and put a mattress on the roof? It’s getting to the point where I honestly wonder why I watch this fucking show anymore. It’s all so predictable.

It was pretty messed up that Rima’s friend called the house looking to talk to Erika. Really? Let your friend fight her battles, what are you going to do from back home?

I’m still so ambivalent on Falen. All of a sudden Erika is part of team pretty girls? Why, because you know Erika would stomp your ass if you stay on her bad side?

Christina – holy shit girl, you just got some serious kudos from me. Thank you, thank you for not following along in the herd mentality. It shows that she is really is growing, and that’s awesome. I hope it sticks.

Julie again – what the fuck! Talking shit about two old ladies just trying to have a good time. Are you kidding?

Yeah…. Erika is definitely slowly crossing to the ‘don’t like’ side. First of all, nobody can be Tanisha, so don’t try the pot and pan routine. It really doesn’t work for you, and it was a really pitiful attempt.

FINAL THOUGHTS: Erika is trying to one-up the whole house, that’s all it is. She thinks she lost control of Rima, and she doesn’t want Julie and them to think she’s losing control of the house, so by acting as super hard as she is, she’s trying to send a message that she can do this to anyone. I do sincerely hope that it does all turn around, that Falen (and I really wasn’t expecting her to fall into the role of follower) and even Mehgan realize what a psycho Julie is, and that they entire house goes up against here. Seriously, I didn’t think I’d dislike anyone more than Mehgan but Julie is really blowing my mind.

Busty Girl Problems: Put Those Away

 

If I have any pet peeves about my ta-tas, it’s this one. My grandmother harasses me at every family gathering about my ‘ample cleavage.’ I’m like, I can’t just wear a muumuu 24/7. Not to mention, I got these from you!

Lawsuit Happy: Aurora, CO Edition

And we’re off! I admit I’d have to have a much more optimistic view of people nowadays if I didn’t expect lawsuits to come out of this. But I was expecting them to be against Holmes after his actual trial. And I certainly wasn’t expecting them against people and entities that really do not deserve to shoulder the blame.

Torrence Brown, Jr., was not physically injured during the rampage but whose friend was killed, reportedly plans to file a lawsuit against the theater, the suspect’s doctors, and Warner Bros. He’s claiming to be suffering extreme trauma. And clearly he is experiencing trauma, the kind that makes him think and behave irrationally. He has hired attorney Donald Karpel, who explained why the three defendants named in the lawsuit.

To begin with, he states the theater’s emergency exits should have sounded an alarm. On one hand, I agree. Reports say that a man appeared to take a cell phone call and exited this door. The man is believed to be Holmes, since this is the door her then returned through. There’s a possibility that the phone call was a ruse to go through the door, testing it, and when there was no alarm, he decided that his plan was all systems go. If this is true, then Brown and Karpel may have a case. However, police responded within a minute and a half once the shooting started, which leads me to believe there may be some kind of silent alarm on the door. But that’s all my speculation. Even if there was an alarm, people would have filed out the same door that he had just gone through, where they could have been shot anyway.

Next, Karpel is going after the suspect’s doctors, due to the wide speculation that he may have been – may, may – on prescription drugs and wasn’t being monitored properly. First off, what kind of information is this kid privy to, that he knows what went on between the suspect and his doctors? We don’t even have any evidence yet to suggest that he was, in fact, medicated, and we certainly can’t blame the doctors for his behavior if he was. This is like blaming a doctor who prescribes Viagara to a man who later rapes someone. Holmes, and Holmes alone, is responsible for his actions.

Finally, Warner Bros. are in the crosshairs, for producing such a violent movie that Holmes was inspired to mimic. Karpel claims theater goers were helpless because they thought the shooter was part of the movie. I have yet to hear someone say this, and if I were one of the survivors, I would be insulted by this. To say that a theater full of people thought that a movie, which includes a moving image projected onto a screen, would include real gas being thrown into the room as well as a fully armored man with multiple weapons… well, you’re insulting their intelligence.  Also, really? To begin with, Mr. Karpel, your client as well as that everyone in that theater purchased a ticket for this “violent” movie. They all found seats to watch and be entertained by this movie. Have any of them taken to obtaining a multitude of weaponry and killing people? No? Well then, I guess it’s not the movie’s fault after all.

There is one person, and one person only, responsible for this, and this lawsuit is going to help feed his defense with this crap. If anyone else blames the movie too, then all they do is lend credibility to the suspect and his defense team blaming the movie.

Celebrity Crushes 2012: Gentlemen

We all know how fun crushes can be, particularly the celebrity ones. They allow you the chance to daydream, to wonder what life would be like if one of these gentleman (or ladies) plucked you out of nobodydom to be their girl. Or guy. A lot of people will find that they had a celebrity crush for a certain period in their life, and when they see that crush now, are instantly transported to that time. Some of those crushes stand the test of time, as is the case for my number one and one of my honorable mentions.

Bring on the man candy!

Honorable Mention: Bug Hall, Lawrence brothers
When it comes to the Lawrence brothers, the Andrew crush is something new. Joe has been there ever since the first time he said “Whoa!” and Matt really hit the mark sometime during Superhuman Samurai Syber-Squad.  I will never forget the days of the trio’s made for TV movies, and would probably pay money to help fund one to be made now. Joe’s recent venture with Melissa & Joey has sort of re-cemented him back in line, bringing his brothers with it.  As for Mr. Bug Hall (you all most likely know him as Alfalfa), I’m torn between this being an actual crush and a twist on bromance. I’m lucky enough to chat with him on occasionally via Twitter, which helps break down the wall between random citizen and relatively famous actor. When we engage in said conversation, I wish that we were besties and having these chats in person or by texting. I think he’d be awesome to hang out with, and to talk about what he’s been through in his life. A live chat with all his Twitter followers just isn’t enough. But either way, he has a charisma about him that makes me think I’d probably fall into his arms and swoon if we ever met, which is why he has earned an honorable mention on this list.

The following are technically ranked, although 2-6 can be somewhat interchangeable. I crush on them each for different reasons, and sometimes it just depends on my mood.

#6: David Henrie
This is where I admit that my newfound quasi-friendship with Bug Hall stemmed from obsessive behavior over Wizards of Waverly Place’s David Henrie. I was reading through Henrie’s Twitter and discovering who his friends were. From here, I ended up following Hall, initially for updates regarding Henrie, and pictures including him. Henrie’s posts, while entertaining and sometimes visually stimulating, ended up being easily read and dismissed by me (as opposed to many others’ posts, where I often want to reply to every single thing), and led me to wonder if this crush is based on simple appearance or substance. I mean, there’s no doubt that Henrie is funny, but I don’t know that much about him to give it much energy. While I look forward to seeing him accomplish many of the things that he has stated he plans to set out to do, I really view this as a straightforward hotness crush.

#5: Kellan Lutz
Emmett. Do I really have to say any more than this? It is the thing that he is most known for, although he has been in many other feature movies, like Immortals, as well as small roles in the comedies Accepted and Stick It. One of the exceptions to my glaringly obvious brunette type, Lutz is a natural blonde. In keeping with my preferences, however, I like him much better when his hair is brown or a dirty-blonde dark enough to look brown. Some would argue with me that he is actually much further up on my list than number five, but I have shamelessly pigeonholed him into a simple hot bod category. I admire his dedication to our canine friends (his stories about adopting his dogs makes me smile every time), and to other charitable projects such as the St. Bernard Project. He seems to be filled with a really intense inner joy, as I have yet to see him tweet something that was not inspirational or motivational in some way.

#4: Joseph Gordon-Levitt
Talk about going around in circles. When I was young, I crushed on Joey Gordon-Levitt following, of course, 10 Things. It faded for a bit, as teenage celeb crushes are wont to do, when Gordon-Levitt himself faded from sight to attend school. With him back, and me crushing on him again, I have to say he mesmerizes me. What draws me to him is that he’s extremely attractive, but in a way that doesn’t overpower him, and this is what allows me to want to know more about him. I find hitRECord, an online collaborative production company that shares its profits with contributing artists, to be fascinating and gracious, and frankly, genius. It has been said that Gordon-Levitt does not like celebrity, and when you watch him in any interview appearance he does come across as very humble, and I believe this is what enables him to do the work that he does with hitRECord (which I recently joined). Can you imagine anyone else obtaining poetry and art from random artists across the country and not only sharing the profits with them, but allowing the original creators to maintain their own rights? For this, my crush on him comes from far more subtance, and therefore, he is the one who wavers the most in his position on this list.

#3: Ryan Reynolds
The only other true exception to my brunette rule and another example of physical appearance overwhelming pretty much everything else. While I find Reynolds hilarious, in both an acting capacity and in personality, I have no idea, nor can I garner one even from interviews, what kind of person he actually is. Whether this is me simply not caring to look past a pretty face or Reynolds himself purposely avoiding living his entire life in the public eye, I do not know. I also don’t know if I care. I fall all over myself trying to watch any movie that he’s in, even if it’s something I normally wouldn’t sit through. One of the things I do respect about him is that he doesn’t just frivolously give money away to a bunch of charities just for show. He supports the Micheal J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research, and several years ago he ran the New York City Marathon for his father, who suffers from the disease. Similar to my admiration for Rosario Dawson, who supports causes that are personal to her, I respect that he chooses to focus on something that affects his life, whether directly or indirectly.

#2: Robert Downey Jr.
As friends of mine have said, this man has aged like a fine wine. To that, I add, a wine that I want to sip on all night long. I’m still not sure whether or not this particular crush is a testament to the fact that I am getting older and therefore my tastes are slowing shifting to more mature men (the median age of this list including honorable mentions being 32). When I watch movies from the late 90s, in which RDJ was the age that I am now, I don’t find him attractive in the least. It has been narrowed down, in his case, that it’s the difference between his smooth boyish looks to this more rugged appearance. To say I admire him may be a stretch, but I find it impressive that after years of drug use (his father used to make doing drugs a father-son activity) and the constant arrests for it, he was able to get his shit together and continue his career.

#1:  JC Chasez
No matter my age, no matter the amount of time that passes between the last Nsync album and JC’s own solo album and whatever ‘now’ is, this man will forever be at the top of this list, and even if he should fall, will never fall below the top three. It’s his voice. It’s the sheer, raw talent that pours forth every time he opens his mouth. It’s the way his music was there for me at times when nothing and no one was. It’s the way his verse in “This I Promise You” sends chills through me whenever I hear it. It’s the way he always played second fiddle to his bandmate without making it into a thing. In 2004 he promoted his album with a small club tour, and while I felt awful that he had just sold out a stadium and and arena the last times he came to town as a member of Nsync, and could barely pack this bar, I can easily say that no musical event has been better. The show was terribly publicized – I didn’t even know about it until three days prior – but that somehow made it even better. Hundreds of dollars could get you front row at Nsync, but that was nothing compared to being directly in front of that stage in the more intimate setting that the club allowed. When I shouted something inappropriate and he was both able to hear and and reply to me, it locked the night in place as surpassing my experiences at all four previous Nsync concerts, even PopOdyssey, and we know how amazing that performance was.

So… who are some of your top or enduring celebrity crushes?

Celebrity Girl Crushes: the 2012 Roundup

The girl-crush. We all have them. Some of us have them on people we actually know, and some of have them on celebrities. Admit that you have a girl-crush in front of a man, and it will take all of .4 seconds before the pool scenes from Wild Things start racing through his head. However, this is really not the case. In a sense, a girl crush is romantic but it’s not distinctly sexual. A girl-crush is about having an intense admiration for another female that borders on infatuation, without the creepy Single White Female undertones. You either want to be her best friend or you want to be her. At the very least, you want to spend time with her, and you want her to like you. It’s the counterpart to the bromance.

How can you tell if you have a girl-crush on someone you know? Wait until just the two of you are going out. Do you spend hours agonizing over what to wear? Do you wait to finish off your outfit until she arrives to pick you up, and you subtly match your look to hers? For instance: heels or flats. You could easily wear either, but you’re waiting to see which she is wearing. Flats? You slip into yours as if you were planning on wearing them all along.

Celebrity girl-crushes tend be more fleeting, as are celebrity crushes in general. In addition, since many of us do not actually become friends with celebs, the whole ‘wanting to be friends’ feeling wears off quickly and leaves the ‘wanting to be her,’ which can quickly become disheartening.

Following this logic, My celebrity girl-crushes do tend to change with the seasons, with the exception of my number one lady. She’s been my reigning #1 girl-crush for a long time. I don’t know why my flavors change so much, I only chalk it up to being straight, so it’s much easier to “let go,” for lack of a better way to explain getting over them.

Honorable Mention: Jessica Szohr, Anne Hathaway

This honor goes to these two both for beauty and brains, as well as humanitarianism. Hathway spoke in support of gay rights and said, “People who have said that I’m being brave for being openly supportive…I’m not being brave, I’m being a decent human being.” Boom. Say no more. When it comes to Szohr, who you may know from Gossip Girl and Love Wedding Marriage (in which she co-starred with a close third for the honorable mention, Mandy Moore, and a member of the Gentlemen ranking) is really more of just beauty to me. I openly admit that it’s mostly a physical attraction. She’s gorgeous.

#2: Emma Stone

There’s just something about Stone. I don’t know if it’s her acting, the way she seamlesses fits into whatever character she’s playing, or if it’s those eyes. Okay, it might be the eyes. And the husky voice. She’s like the Jane Russell of our time, in my opinion. I adored her in Crazy, Stupid, Love and really loved her in The Help and Spiderman. In general, I just find her to be the perfect mix of cute and beautiful (a reference from one of her movies), and I prefer the red or dark brown hair to her natural blonde.

#1: Rosario Dawson

Oh, my queen. Anyone who doesn’t put this woman on the top of any list, girl-crush, straight man crush, full-on lesbian crush, and I don’t even know what, needs to have their eyes checked. Look at her. She’s got a nerd side (including creating a graphic novel), which is incredibly sexy, a regular sexy side, and the woman spoke at an Obama inaugural celebration at the Lincoln Memorial. She supports a number of charities, such as StayClose.org and the Lower East Side Girls Club, as well as sitting on the V-Day board. In all honesty, this is the one girl-crush that probably crosses the line from admiration into pure infatuous lust. Can you blame me?

Others who missed being on the honorable mention list, in addition to Mandy Moore, include Scarlett Johannsen, Adele, America Ferrera, and Angelina Jolie. The first three make the cut based on their dedication to keeping their curves, and when it comes to Jolie, I find myself inspired by her humanitarian work.

Bad Girls Club Mexico: The Devil Wears Nada

I want to start this by saying I just found out Mehgan has her own website. I am not sharing it because I refuse to contribute to the site gaining any traffic.

A little concerned about Rima’s little breakdown. This is really like it was with Judy, when she would get all crazy and each ‘group’ would try and turn her against the other. But all this talk about the devil, and the way she gets all completely insane… just freaking scary.

I’m really getting tired of Julie and Christina going at it all the time. I know that in life you’re going to run into people that you just do not like – it’s life – but you have to learn how to just avoid that person, not slap them up every chance you get. And Julie trying to act like she’s the tough one because she throws the first punch whenever the two of them scrap; she’s just an idiot. Of course she’s going to let you throw the first punch. Then you’re the one who goes home.

I’m slowly coming to a decision on Rima: I don’t like her. It’s not anything particular (like in the way I can’t stand Mehgan), but it’s just because she doesn’t seem to have any brains or a head on her shoulders. At least when it comes to Ashley, she’s ditzy-dumb, so instead of disliking her, you just kind of feel bad for her. But Rima… no.

I still don’t like Julie, but I’m not sure on Christina either. I should like her, simply because of the rivalry with Julie, but I’m just not sure. Falen still seems to be playing it cool, and while I remain ambivalent towards her right now, I feel as though things might flip with me in regards to her and Erika. I feel as though Erika will slowly lose points with me in this attempt to be the leader, and Falen’s going to come out from under the horrendous shadow of Julie and Mehgan.

I really don’t have much of a final thought on this one… this episode was really kind of boring and it didn’t feel like a whole lot of everything happened.  Julie’s attempt to start drama between Rima and Erika really backfired, in my opinion, but who knows? Guess we’ll catch it next week!

 

Victim-Blaming at Its Finest: Ashley Moser

I know that Ms. Moser, and anyone who knows her, will probably never ever see this post, but it makes me feel a little better to write it, so I am.

It is nobody’s business but your own what movie you choose to take your child to, and what time of said movie. Got it? If your child is old enough to sit through a movie, and mature enough to deal with anything in that movie, then go ahead and take that child to the movie. Spending time together, and maybe allowing your child a special treat by getting to stay up late equals good parenting.

But no… there are people like this in the world:

In an earlier post, she said that no responsible parent would ever take a child to a movie at night. Ever. Period. And that the child was there as a lack of common sense.

I have taken it upon myself to reply to her, and will repeat here:

The “mother herself is going to be questioning why she took her out that night” Why don’t we let her question herself then? It’s not anyone else’s job to do so. She committed absolutely zero crimes.  She did nothing that would give any authority a reason to take her child away.

Unless you know what the mother was thinking when she took her daughter to a movie, you cannot say “going to the movie was more important than doing what was right.” That is nothing but pure victim blaming and that is what does not belong. You’re continuing to say the same thing over and over again, all under the pretense that you only blame the gunman.

If a woman chooses to spend time with her child doing something they enjoy, then that is what is right, no matter what time of day. Again, the movie is not as violent as everyone is making it out to be, and if I had a 6-year-old, and she wanted to see it, I would look over parental guides, and judge for myself what my child can handle.

Jane was then informed by a poster that she was was sexually assaulted, and was asked if it was her fault because she chose to go to a strip club? Jane replies:

And she did safeguard her – by being with her. She took her child to the movies, not to a gang party. She had absolutely no reason to think she was taking her daughter into a dangerous situation. Yes, I’m sure the mother will blame herself. I’m sure she’d blame herself if she took her daughter to the playground and a shootout happened. I’m sure she’d blame herself if she was in a car accident and her daughter died. It is up to no one but her to blame herself, even if she should not be doing so.

Luckily, there are other people out there with decency. Tanya and I have gone back and forth with Jane  a few times now.
(Note: Tanya’s profile picture is redacted only because she has children in it.)

To Ashley Moser and her family: I’m not really a religious person, so I don’t feel right saying that my prayers go out to you, but I am sending strong and healthy vibes your way, that Ms. Moser pulls through and that you will all get through this.

Fate. She’s a Bitch.

This is up to over 15,000 shares, and I can only image most of them came today. Seriously, what kind of Final Destination creepiness is this? A different country, time zone, a different month, a whole different side of the continent, and to STILL have your life taken by a crazed public shooter. Rest in peace, Ms. Gwahi. Bless.

A Run On of Thoughts

I can’t get this odd feeling out of my chest. This empty, almost sickening feeling won’t go away. I noticed this feeling when I was in the Eaton Center in Toronto just seconds before someone opened fire in the food court. An odd feeling which led me to go outside and unknowingly out of harm‘s way. It’s hard for me to wrap my mind around how a weird feeling saved me from being in the middle of a deadly shooting.

What started off as a trip to the mall to get sushi and shop, ended up as a day that has forever changed my life. I was on a mission to eat sushi that day, and when I’m on a mission, nothing will deter me. When I arrived at the Eaton Center mall, I walked down to the food court and spotted a sushi restaurant. Instead of walking in, sitting…

The First Amendment costs $500

At least it does if you’re a teenaged Kentucky victim of sexual assualt.

Savannah Dietrich – publicly named as a sex crime victim because she doesn’t want to keep silent – is currently facing a contempt of court violation because she tweeted the names of the assholes who sexually violated her at a party. Oh, and this wasn’t just an isolated incident. Dietrich had to re-live it over again when she found out months later that it was photographically documented, and the pictures were shared with other people.

In exercising her first amendment rights, Dietrich is blowing up their spot on Twitter, spilling their names and saying,  “I’m not protecting anyone that made my life a living Hell.” Damn right. Screw them.

The boys pled guilty in June to first-degree sexual abuse and misdemeanor voyeurism.

Kentucky law:

510.110 Sexual abuse in the first degree.
(1) A person is guilty of sexual abuse in the first degree when:
(a) He or she subjects another person to sexual contact by forcible compulsion; or
(b) He or she subjects another person to sexual contact who is incapable of consent because he or she:
1. Is physically helpless;
2. Is less than twelve (12) years old; or
3. Is mentally incapacitated; or
(c) Being twenty-one (21) years old or more, he or she:
1. Subjects another person who is less than sixteen (16) years old to sexual contact;
2. Engages in masturbation in the presence of another person who is less than sixteen (16) years old and knows or has reason to know the other person is present; or
3. Engages in masturbation while using the Internet, telephone, or other electronic communication device while communicating with a minor who the person knows is less than sixteen (16) years old, and the minor can see or hear the person masturbate; or
(d) Being a person in a position of authority or position of special trust, as defined in KRS 532.045, he or she, regardless of his or her age, subjects a minor who is less than eighteen (18) years old, with whom he or she comes into contact as a result of that position, to sexual contact or engages in masturbation in the presence of the minor and knows or has reason to know the minor is present or engages in masturbation while using the Internet, telephone, or other electronic communication device while communicating with a minor who the person knows is less than sixteen (16) years old, and the minor can see or hear the person masturbate.
(2) Sexual abuse in the first degree is a Class D felony, unless the victim is less than twelve (12) years old, in which case the offense shall be a Class C felony.

So, in other words, the boys pled guilty to a Class D felony. Dietrich says she was unaware of a plea agreement until just before it was announced in court. She could not say what the proposed punishment was because of the court order, but said she feels like it was a slap on the wrist.

Kentucky law again:

532.060 Sentence of imprisonment for felony — Postincarceration supervision.
(1) A sentence of imprisonment for a felony shall be an indeterminate sentence, the maximum of which shall be fixed within the limits provided by subsection (2), and subject to modification by the trial judge pursuant to KRS 532.070.
(2) Unless otherwise provided by law, the authorized maximum terms of imprisonment for felonies are:
(a) For a Class A felony, not less than twenty (20) years nor more than fifty (50) years, or life imprisonment;
(b) For a Class B felony, not less than ten (10) years nor more than twenty (20) years;
(c) For a Class C felony, not less than five (5) years nor more than ten (10) years; and
(d) For a Class D felony, not less than one (1) year nor more than five (5) years.
(3) For any felony specified in KRS Chapter 510, KRS 530.020, 530.064(1)(a), or 531.310, the sentence shall include an additional five (5) year period of postincarceration supervision which shall be added to the maximum sentence rendered for the offense. During this period of postincarceration supervision, if a defendant violates the provisions of postincarceration supervision, the defendant may be reincarcerated for:
(a) The remaining period of his initial sentence, if any is remaining; and
(b) The entire period of postincarceration supervision, or if the initial sentence has been served, for the remaining period of postincarceration supervision.
(4) In addition to the penalties provided in this section, for any person subject to a period of postincarceration supervision pursuant to KRS 532.400 his or her sentence shall include an additional one (1) year period of postincarceration supervision following release from incarceration upon expiration of sentence if the offender is not otherwise subject to another form of postincarceration supervision. During this period of postincarceration supervision, if an offender violates the provisions of supervision, the offender may be reincarcerated for the remaining period of his or her postincarceration supervision.
(5) The actual time of release within the maximum established by subsection (1), or as modified pursuant to KRS 532.070, shall be determined under procedures established elsewhere by law.

In other words, if you didn’t garner from the italicized parts, these boys pled guilty to a crime that carries a sentence of one year in prison and five years probation. My guess? Since it was juvenile court, they’re not getting any jail time, and maybe they’re getting probation. I have no idea what goes into the punishment for voyeurism, but my guess is nothing.

The downside is that the judge did issue a gag order not to talk about what happened in court or about the crime, and this is what the boy’s attorneys will use. “They got off very easy … and they tell me to be quiet, just silencing me at the end,” Dietrich said. Basically, the court is saying that you can rape someone who passes out at a party and that’s just fine. But if you talk about it, then you could spent 180 days in jail and pay a $500 fine. What kind of shit is this?

It’s called Freedom of Speech, not Freedom of Assault.

Update: As of today, July 24, the boys’ attorneys have dropped the charges. They say it’s not because of the public sentiment, but with all the Twitter buzz and the multiple petitions going around (one with over 62,000 signatures), I don’t believe it. I understand where the attorneys are coming from, that having these boys’ names out there can cause ramifications down the road, but guess what? They got off easy. They made a choice that they should have to face consequences for. You don’t give them protection from the law and then add more harm to the victim by telling her she can never talk about it. That makes the judge no different than the predator who orders his victim not to tell anyone what happened. Idiot.)
