Crimes and Punishments

This week in a major city, where I unfortunately reside, there were three instances of jealousy prompting shooting 3 women with 1 surviving; 2 men were shot to death with 1 killing himself  and the last man standing is in jail.  I'd always heard that in this state, it was OK to kill a man messing with your wife or live-in girlfriend but you can't shoot her in the process.  Strange as it seems, the man in jail won't be charged with murder of the cuckolding, man but he will stand trial for assault on his wife, only wounding her with 2 gunshots.  Lucky for him he wasn't a very good shooter.  Since he is white, he will probably get a light sentence or probation.  If he had been black though, he surely would be facing 20 years to life in prison.  Nowadays, the severity of the crime has nothing whatever to do with the severity of the punishment.
   Maybe it was better in the old west days.  G,W, Bush and a lot of other Republicans would be hanging in trees around the country  Or following the bible they love so dearly, they would have to have some surgery on their penis's to remove the foreskin God seems to hate so much before open heart surgery with someone's sword.  At least we can still dream about justice.
