Middle America's Worldview

I had to post my thought on this idiotic choice by a Vermont Judge. Thanks to Scott for pointing this out.

A Judge Edward J. Cashman put a sex offender, Mark Hulett-age 34,in 'recovery' for raping a child many many times in a four year span. The girls horror started at age 7. Why would this Judge not put this child rapist in jail?

"..Judge Cashman explained that he is more concerned that Hulett receive sex offender
treatment as rehabilitation."

Is he serious? This is the same garbage Arkansas is trying to regurgitate in their child sex crimes. They are more interested in the why as opposed to stopping those that do it.

I'm personally fed up with our undeserving Judges and Politicians spewing this type of crap and ideology. I swear, if I had the time, I would create a dedicated website to post everyone of these individuals. I am sure the database would require a server it itself, but at least a light would be placed on these types of Judicial actions.

Way to go Scott on pointing a light on this guy.

Below is the bio and contact info for this Judge. I plan to send a letter to the office on this one.

Address:
Honorable Edward J. Cashman
