Judge Orders Poacher To Watch Bambi

Post by skb12172 »

A Missouri poacher has been ordered to repeatedly watch the movie “Bambi” as part of his sentence for illegally killing hundreds of deer.

Here's the Fox news story

I think that those that use the Devil's Database forget that those of us without accounts can't see the stories the post.

120 days? In Alaska they would have buried that dude under the jail for wanton waste of game meat.

One viewing per dead deer? Sounds about right, but that runs the risk of being considered cruel and unusual punishment, and a violation of the Eighth Amendment.
The use of the word "but" usually indicates that everything preceding it in a sentence is a lie.
E.g.:
"I believe in Freedom of Speech, but". . .
"I support the Second Amendment, but". . .

Would seem to me it would have to be both cruel AND unusual punishment to run afoul of the 8th. While unusual, and stupid, I don't see it as particularly cruel.

Not cruel, just stupid.
