They release these criminals and they are always repeat offenders.

A move like that takes a lot of balls. But considering he's already getting a 50 year sentence I can't help wondering what type of sentence he was looking at if he went to court instead. He's already gonna be locked up for the rest of his life.

Given the current make up of the court, I wouldn't be entirely surprised if they let it stand.

This is worse than what happened to Holiday Hobo's Left Nut in 2016.
We had a poster choose that as a username in IMDB2 when it first started in February 2017. :)

This is the kind of genital mutilation Right Wingers can support.

Look at how many times the Appellate courts have an issue with lethal injection and the 8th. No judge is going to allow physical dismemberment. That's a dangerous door to open. What comes later, taking off the hand of a pickpocket?

Matthew 19:12 ESV For there are eunuchs who have been so from birth, and there are eunuchs who have been made eunuchs by men, and there are eunuchs who have made themselves eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. Let the one who is able to receive this receive it.”

This led me down a castrati rabbit hole and I ended up reading about the man who killed the man who killed Abraham Lincoln. On July 16, 1858, Corbett, while trying to remain chaste, struggled against sexual urges and began reading chapters 18 and 19 in the Gospel of Matthew ("And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out and cast it from thee....and there be eunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake"). A friend, years later, recounted Corbett saying "that the lord directed him, in a vision or in some way, to castrate himself." Corbett castrated himself with a pair of scissors. He handled it with remarkable stoicism. He ate a meal and went to a prayer meeting before someone sent for medical treatment. Corbett was released on August 15, and a friend recorded that "he was very much gratified with the result as his passion was not trouble any more...his object was that he might preach the gospel without being tormented by his passions. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boston_Corbett

Might as well give him the full William Wallace treatment, while they're at it.

The Emperor was bound to look after anyone who lost their junk. There were experts who got paid to anesthetize, cut and nurse the guy back to health. It was an old tradition that was meant for soldiers who got chopped in battle. The castrated ones got three hots and a cot, a place in the Forbidden City and could work/steal their way to immense power during the reign of a weak Emperor. They used to carry their little container of nuts with them to prove that they are eunuchs and be buried whole

Someone fucked up. Surely the sentence should have been 50 years in prison OR physical castration. Not both! What the fuck is this poor dude gonna do in jail if he can't jerk off? I'm all for severe punishment, but this seems unduly harsh. I was so shocked I couldn't read past the first paragraph. So tell me, was this statutory rape the poor bugger committed, or the real thing?
