make of this what you will...
 

And your point is...?

Compare and contrast:

John is a knob!

Discuss.

"And your point is...?"
 

If I'd had a point, I'd have made it.

You'll note the subtitle on my post.

Knob.

I think the judge made a good decision, including the parts of the decision to be made by others with greater knowledge of such specifics like where and when to schedule the surgery and where to imprison him after the surgery.

I think they should have executed him after he murdered his wife, and saved a whole lot of money and bullshit.

"executed him"
 

Woulda been a good place to start, yeah.

the story says very little about the circumstances of his trial, except that he murdered his wife. do you believe all murderers deserve to be executed?

My Googling skilz are not good enough to uncover the original news and trial.

Anyone in MA? Can you look in the news archives and see?

"do you believe all murderers deserve to be executed?"
 

No more than you believe all murderers deserve to be set free (or locked away for a lifetime).

Irrelevant in any event.

The piece is about one guy who killed, not all folks who killed.

I assume (perhaps wrongly) his jail time is justified...I also assume (perhaps wrongly) that he might deserve a bullet in the head.

So sue me.

*shrug*

Maybe he killed her in a really sweet way. Lovingly strangled her? Caressed her to ribbons? Smothered her with the finest french silk pillows?

then why did you say executing him would have been a good place to start?

.

"then why did you say executing him would have been a good place to start?"
 

As I said: I made an assumption (perhaps right, perhaps wrong).

Again: sue me.

Go take it up with Bruce if you're lookin' for a tussle.

Me: not interested.

Did I miss somewhere that details why sex change surgery is medically necessary for this guy? And when I mean medically necessary, I mean necessary like a stint for a blocked artery or skin grafts for a severe burn or neonatal care for a baby and/or mother with really bad timing?

How does not changing him keep him in bad health? And if it's mental health they're talking about, don't they have head docs for that?
