Sex criminal and potential murderer gets probation

Remember the dentist in North Carolina who squirted semen into the mouths of his female patients? He was found sort of guilty and sentenced to five years probation.

The judge chose probation over a 120-day prison sentence. Why didn't he just make former Dr. Hall write "I will not play pranks on girls" a hundred times?

The sentence is so light because the state charged Hall with misdemeanor assault. Putting aside for a moment that what he did, in and of itself, was sadistic and pathological, he could easily have infected the women with any number of STD's, including AIDS.

Anyone who thinks there isn't a war being waged against women has, as Joe Biden stated so colorfully today, his head in a rain barrel.

I feel that judges in these cases would do well to imagine that the victims were men and sentence accordingly. Shooting semen into the mouths of sleeping men would be considered a grave offense, I would think.

I'll say. If the victims had been men, the dentist would already be dead.
