I was visiting NYC circa 1995 when the news media reported a robbery at a shoe store. Two robbers were holding 20 staff and customers hostage. The robbers made the women remove their clothing and one of the robbers proceeded to rape one of the women. Brutal!
But that is more logical, their butts were going to jail--forever, might well have one last get go, what is he going to get, 200 years in prison, not 100 years, lol
These tougher crime laws do have their drawbacks, we got the same here in Michigan, armed robbery--even 1st time, no criminal record, is still up to life in prison, with 15--25 years pretty common if nobody got hurt but holding 20 people (now we got kidnapping, another life term) and they likely had a record, they were gone for "life", at least they didn't kill anybody......
This guy, check this out again,
David Laffer, whose marriage proposal a few years ago to his then-girlfriend at a New York Islanders hockey game was shown on large TV screens, was led out of his brown and yellow ranch-style home in handcuffs as neighbors watched. He was arrested on charges of first-degree murder and resisting arrest, according to Suffolk County Police. He was being held overnight at the Fifth Precinct and was scheduled for arraignment Thursday, police said....................
So he became some type of media hero cause of his BS way of asking his GF to marry him....
That is a BS way if it really happen,,,the first time he asked her...like put her right on the spot so its really hard to say no or not yet....but media--screwed up media thought it was cute....i wounder how many still think this guy is cute?
