The New York Times reports:
A woman who sent her Arab-American boss a threatening note that warned ”Remember 9/11” and ”You and your kids will pay” was sentenced Wednesday to eight months in a federal halfway house.
Kia Reid, who described herself as Christian, donned gloves to craft the note from magazine clippings and then left it in Nina Timani’s office, prosecutors said.
I’m surprised by the harsh sentence, but maybe this will curb some of the hate speech we see. You can read the full article here.

”I came forward for my kids,” she said. ”I have found my inner peace by helping spread tolerance to people of other faiths,” she said.
I know shes been through alot, what with the hate mail and all, but I think shes found the wrong kind of peace. Tolerance is not good, it is nothing but a temporary fix. Helping spread acceptance would have been a much better thing to say. Maybe she just used the wrong word, but something about that sentence gets me thinking…..

Hm.. in my neighborhood we have an old lady who walks her “special” son (who is 30-something, I think) in his wheelchair, in the middle of the road, DIRECTLY into oncoming traffic. The speed limit is 35 and you can’t see around the corner because the road curves so much… I can’t even count how many times I’ve almost hit them. There’s a freakin’ sidewalk.
Little boys on bicycles that jump out in front of my car, however… I have to really try to not hit them… on purpose…

We have a lot of zebra crossing here. Just once I’d love to run down that 14 year old kid that waits until I’m five feet away before stepping onto the crossing.
Smug git! A set of 225s across the legs would soon knock the smile off his face.

“I think that woman sending that is digusting, and she should be given a custodial sentence – why didn’t she just change jobs?”
.
I agree! I don’t know about now, (havn’t heard a lot of the past complaints about light sentencing here lately), but 8 mnths would have been considered a long sentence for someone with kids here in the past. Lot of women who deserved to have the book thrown at them got very short sentences (month-two months) by pleading their parenthood! One in particular I remember was a mother of 4 selling hard drugs to 13-14yo school kids. Can’t remember her exact sentence, but there was public outrage over its leniency! Do the crime don’t bitch about doing the time IMHO! :p

Harry Potter is a wanker, we have first grade school girls in Canada who could steal his wand, and tie his testicles into a knot.

At first I thought that sounded a bit harsh. However, then I thought, “If someone threatened my kids, I’d kill them with my bare hands.” So I’m okay with it.
