why did they get the national Christmas tree from Vermont the child molester santuary state?

Question

If symbolism means so much, isn't it kinda ironic they get the tree from the pervert protection capital..

never mind. its the capitol tree. no morals on Congressional leadership.

Answer 1

Because evergreens grow well there. I personally think we should let Vermont secede. And then secure the borders surrounding it and halt all imports and exports. That would also get us rid of Howard Dean and any other Vermont politicians.

Answer 2

Now that has to be one of the greatest stretches ever to come up with that one. The pervert tree! God help us if we can't come up with something more important to complain about. Call the ACLU, I am sure they can make a case for you. Oh, sorry they would protect the rights of pervert trees. Call the NRA.

Answer 3

Why is it always VT that people think is lax on child molesters? This is a world issue... I'm all for castrating child molesters but I can already see the ACLU crying foul if that were to ever happen.

Child Molester Sentence Overturned Because Judge Evokes Religion

September 10, 2004 – A Nebraska child molester has had his sentence thrown out by an appeals court because the judge who sentenced him made religious comments as he was sentencing the man.

District Judge George Thompson had made references to a previous case where he had quoted passages from the Bible about homosexuality. His previous case was also tossed out in 1998 because he quoted the Bible.

In this most recent case, molester Jay Bruna had been sentenced to 15-50 years in jail for assaulting a child on his school bus.

In 1998, the Nebraska Supreme Court overturned the sentence of a homosexual child molester because during the sentencing phase, Judge Thompson quoted the Bible.

In this latest case, Thompson noted that he had quoted from the Bible in 1998 and was better off not saying anything more. This statement is what got this latest case tossed by the Nebraska Court of Appeals.


School molester's parole hearing after only four years may spark changes in state law

Every year, families of the nine boys molested by former elementary teacher Philip Underwood-Sheppard will collect signatures from their neighbors and drive from Beaufort to Columbia to try to keep him in prison.

They'll be forced to watch him tell a three-member panel why he should be released early from his 25-year sentence.

Underwood-Sheppard, a former Coosa Elementary School music teacher, pleaded guilty to nine counts of indecent exposure, seven counts of performing a lewd act upon a child and one count of assault and battery of a high and aggravated nature.

He has been in jail since April 2002. Because the form of child molestation he was convicted of is considered a non-violent crime in South Carolina, he was eligible for parole this year after serving a quarter of his sentence. Those charged with violent crimes must serve at least 85 percent of their terms.
