In crimes like this, sometimes you can lobby the judge to send you to jail when it's convenient for you. In the DUI case before my case (where my former g/f's douchy ex vandalized my car) the guy got to pick when he wanted to serve his time.

12 gauge to the crotch should be the punishment for cruelty to animals.

doglover: 12 gauge to the crotch should be the punishment for cruelty to animals.

They are just property, should be treated the same.

Animals should get rights when they, as a species, are capable of enough intelligence to give up their absolute freedom and act within the confines of the social contract.

Here in Orange County California, the Sheriff a couple years back, was put in jail for some corruption charge. (a side note, something like 4 of his 6 assistant sheriffs had run ins with the law and had to resign over the period of time he was in charge.) Now granted he was charged with something like 8 counts and was only convicted on 1 or 2, but the judge allowed him to hold on his jail sentence for like a month until his son graduated from high school so he could be there.

bull, that is part of the bad part of going to jail. Missing things that happen outside of it.

Wiant also will serve 50 volunteer hours at the Kanawha-Charleston Animal Shelter, ...

I volunteer with marine mammal rescue and at an animal shelter/hospital, and neither organization would accept someone who shot a dog, even if there were no work directly with the animals. Why would the Kanawha-Charleston Animal Shelter touch this guy with a 10-foot stick?
 
2010-03-05 05:24:28 AM
I have a buddy who used to sell drugs and cleaned up his act and went to school.. The cops were gonna charge him but 9/11 happened and it got put on hold. When they finally got around to charging him and convicting him he was about 2 weeks from graduation and the judge let him finish up....

In other news, Hank Williams Jr. is still alive.
 
2010-03-05 05:39:00 AM
This would only be acceptable if the dog was a pit bull. As it stands he should only be allowed to go to the concert after being shot with an arrow.

So much craziness that story I don't know where to begin, but I'll cover a couple points:

Wiant also will serve 50 volunteer hours at the Kanawha-Charleston Animal Shelter

Isn't that like sentencing a child molester to volunteer 50 hours at a nursery school? I don' think it's a good idea to put him around things he likes to hurt.

As part of the plea agreement, a more serious felony charge was dismissed. Dunlap and Keener said they knew a felony on his record would have prevented Wiant from entering the military, as he planned to do.

Yes, because we want psychos with bad judgment in the military.

You know who else used to kill animals before moving on to killing people? Most serial killers.

This is why the contract theorists didn't philosophize on morality. there is no ethical line in their theories, they were simply outlining what a legitimate power structure is and how it is created, not which beings have a right to live and which others do not.

also, Locke would say that destruction of one's property is the same as destruction of liberty, which is the same as destruction of one's life, which, within the bounds of the social contract, justifies the offended person in killing the offender.

Rights have meaning only when protected by the state, the state has no obligation to protect the rights of those creatures that, as a species, cannot willingly join society.

"We did not want to see his life ruined," Keener said at the time. "We've all done stupid things."

"Stupid"?!? No, this wasn't just some aw shucks boys will be boys act. This was the act of a psychopath.


a felony on his record would have prevented Wiant from entering the military, as he planned to do.

Well on the first point - that would only be true if it was a dogfarker, not a dog shooter. Anyways you have a valid point - and for me personally I think being forced to volunteer in a shelter would make me hate animals more anyways, I don't like pets very much.

On the second point - this is probably part of why they did a psychiatric review. Not to mention the military will probably be extra-through in making sure he won't go out and kill civilians. I am a bit of an idealist however...

On the actual topic - If I was his father I would stand up in court and say "No, no he's not going to the concert."
 
2010-03-05 06:26:28 AM
How is sending someone who is likely a homocidal psychopath to a Hank Jr. concert a bad thing? Worst case scenario would be if he doesn't thin out the audience a bit.
 
2010-03-05 06:27:38 AM
Christ i can't believe I cut this out when editing - but isn't it a common belief that the military can set criminals straight because of all the discipline? Don't know if there is any truth to this, but it seems like something that should at least be addressed if you are going to criticize sending him into the military.

Give it to me. Dogs are social creatures. Grey wolves, by DNA in fact. Anyone who would leave one alone outside to bark for more than a few minutes and not stop it or find out why it's barking is abusing it.

And you already know what the penalty for animal abuse is.

Ah yes, the school of my graduation.

We had animal killers in 1980, they still got them I see.

Cutting off an arm or poking out an eye should stop him from shooting another bow and arrow.

They should have ordered him to attend the concert wearing a shirt with "I shot a dog with a bow and arrow" on it. At that concert I think he wouldn't make it out of the parking lot alive.
 
2010-03-05 07:03:32 AM
I'm going to guess that the concert provision seemed like an easy way to get him to accept a plea deal, so it saved 'em the cost of the trial.

More importantly, are there any area Farkers who could go to the show dressed as Cupid?

for christ's sake, do you really need me to explain the whole thing? there's so much wrong with what you said, if you can't figure it out, then you need to get some help to manage a better understanding of ethics, contract theory, and the role of the state.

also, you can't mention 'property' and 'the social contract' in the same sentence without alluding to locke.

The role of the state is to protect the rights of its constituants, none of the major contract theorists extend these rights to animals. You can say killing my dog is a violation of property, and therefore is a violation of my property rights, thats fine.. Go for it, thats what I said in my first point.

The retarded Singer Utilitarian argument that applies to animals is an ethical argument, and while you can use it to justify your own behavior it doesn't correspond to a justification for silly animal rights laws.

Yeah i always thought that was pretty much the main point of going to jail.

I opened the link and read the article just to see what state all this took place in. You will SHOCKED to know that it was in West Virginia.

All we read was boy killed dog with Bow and Arrow...I checked and couldn't find anything else about this kid.

Did the dog always try to attack the kid? Did it bark day and night? Did it come into his yard and take craps that he was forced to clean up?

OR did he just shoot it because he is an idiot.

We don't know way to few details about the case to know for sure.

Heck I set out Litter boxes full of antifreeze around my property to kill all teh stray animals becasue I was tired of stepping in cat shiat and mowing over dog crap all the time it is a huge problem where I live. Plus cats crawl up in the wood shed and piss all over my wood which makes it not able to be used in my wood stove unless I want my house to smell like hot cat piss.

Does that make me a bad person?

actually, the role of the state is simply to enforce the will of the sovereign, which can entail anything. the sovereign defines which rights (which are ethical considerations) will be protected by law, not which rights exist in ethical terms.


The retarded Singer Utilitarian argument that applies to animals is an ethical argument, and while you can use it to justify your own behavior it doesn't correspond to a justification for silly animal rights laws.


law has to be rooted in ethics. if it is not, then it has no legitimacy because it wouldn't reflect the social consciousness (durkheim). if the law imposed by a particular ruling sovereign did not reflect the ethics embedded within the social consciousness, then the sovereign would simply not be able to maintain power (maybe durkheim would say that society would simply crumble).

anyway, bentham does a better job (and obviously predates singer) outlining the utilitarian, pro-animal-rights argument as far as ethics are concerned.

Maybe the grieving dog owner should shoot the kid AND the senile asshat in the black robes. Nobody is going to take animal cruelty seriously until these IDIOT "judges" start to hand out REAL punishments. When judicial incompetents allow things like this to happen I have NO PROBLEM with people taking the law into their own hands.

OR, how about people have a responsibility not to harm or kill defenseless animals just because they can. See, that's what humanity is SUPPOSED to be aspiring to, not caving in to every pre-historically motivated instinct.

Not to mention the fact that someone who harms animals is very likely also to abuse children. But I guess that's Ok too.

So, to guys at a Hank Williams Jr. concert, shooting a dog with a bow and arrow justifies murder . . . but shooting a deer with a bow and arrow is just good shooting?

Some of you guys are seriously disturbed. So far, we've got two suggestions of murder and two suggestions of severe mutilation. How is it that you aren't in prison yet?

(No, I'm not justifying this guy's actions. I'm condemning yours.)

this

remember, folks, if you were locked up in a room with a dog for days and that dog got hungry...guess what? Your ass is gettin' chewed on. Now I'm not saying we torture dogs, watch them fight, or kill them for the hell of it, but to treat them with the same respect as a human is just plain ridiculous. They have no morals. The only reason they don't eat us is because they don't have to.

The kid, should be doing his time now, not going to concerts and it should be on his record.

Old enough to go to a concert with his "girlfriend" should mean he is old enough to know better.
