because the bar should not have allowed them in. That is what the judge is saying.

It's gotta be the heat...

Judges are supposed to be wise and sober individuals.

good for this woman, regardless how hard and the time she took to follow thru with charges.

shame on all that says, but but but, it will mess up the mans life. dont fuckin stick your hand up a womans skirt. not a tough one.

a little bit of the boys just gotta be boys, biology.

lighten up francis.

Of course the judge was appointed by Jan Brewer.

I want her to step down from the bench. I want Jan Brewer to apologize for putting her on the bench.

The judge's comments are so insulting I'm almost speechless. The judge is actually saying that the victim is the one who has to change? What the serious fuck. "When you blame others..."? The only way to interpret that comment is that the judge is saying the victim should blame herself. Fuck you, Judge Hatch.

but then, what about on the subway to work. is she putting herself in a "bad" place, too.

Only it isn't. We are going backwards.

And these women - what the fuck is wrong with these women? Is she advocating that women should stay in their homes to avoid being assaulted? Maybe we should all don burqas when we go out, & make sure we're accompanied by a male chaperon. Don't they see their hypocricy? They hate Muslims, but they are putting women in this country in a similar place.

men have the right to their free time and to all bars?

You should be thanking this officer like the judge did by giving him a lenient sentence! You should be praying to the police! A cop would never impair his judgment by drinking eight beers straight! He wouldn't abuse his power by flashing his badge to get in a bar for free, and wouldn't arrest the bouncers for throwing his drunk ass out! And he would never sexually assault and harass a woman!

"When You Blame Others, You Give Up Your Power To Change" is a valid concept, but totally inappropriate here. This is no better than blaming the victim's attire.

standing there, minding her own business, not having done a damn thing.

This "judge" needs to be removed immediately and hung around Jan Brewer's neck like an albatross. Does AZ have a process to do that?

Damn, that's incredible and from a female!

Sorry, couldn't help myself. Wonder if she is any relation to Orrin Hatch?

I don't think so.

In what world does anybody think that is appropriate advice?

How hard is it to understand that women do not exist to service men, and sexual assault is the fault OF THE ASSAULTER, period?

but then blames the victim. Nice.

And the "when you blame others" line. That just makes me angry. He stuck his hand up her skirt. She believes men are incapable of controlling their hands around women so she should expect it? He isn't to blame for that? That's sickening and disgusting.

omg

Groping his hand with her ass!

I've a temper.

but nope. She said exactly that.

Wow. What an idiot.

"If you hadn't been there that wouldn't have happened to you" is true of every crime is it not? Does she give that advice to every victim?

If you hadn't been driving down that road that drunk driver wouldn't have hit you. Try to be more cautious.

Bonkers.

from a facebook page

A) she's an idiot. What she says doesn't affect me.
B) I'm used to it. No male has managed to come of age in the US without being told many times that he is probably a rapist/pedophile in one fashion or another.
C) I know it isn't true so . . . meh. It reflects on the people who say it. Not me.

Hope the judge never gets caught in any corners unawares...

But this is really over the top...
