A Saskatchewan mother says she's sickened by the knowledge that two Hamiltonians have been given lenient sentences for torturing her developmentally disabled son.The mother says her 23-year-old son suffered brain damage and a stroke after being held and tortured for more than two weeks in 2009. ...Her son was 19 when he went to a Corktown apartment where a group of people — including Dakota Thompson and Stanley Brown — confined him for 17 days. They burned his genitals with a hair straightener, made him eat feces and drink urine, beat him with a pole and poured cayenne pepper into the bath when he tried to wash his wounds, court documents say....Brown was originally sentenced to 13 years and Thompson to 10 years for the incidents, despite the Crown suggesting sentences of about half those terms.Brown's sentence has been reduced to seven years and eight months, less 32 months credit for pretrial custody.Thompson's sentence has been reduced to six years and eight months, less 32 months for pretrial custody.
It doesn't concern you, Sister, that kind of absolutist view of the universe? Right and wrong determined solely by a single all-knowing, all powerful being whose judgment cannot be questioned and in whose name the most horrendous acts can be sanctioned without appeal?
Being required by someone else’s religious beliefs to behave contrary to one’s sexual identity is degrading and disrespectful.
