Teen pleads guilty for attacking Kerry-voting Girlfriend

http://www.sun-sentinel.com/news/local/palmbeach/sfl-pbush31mar31,0,4570578.story?coll=sfla-news-palm

But the plan came apart in late October when he attacked his girlfriend after learning she planned to vote for Sen. John Kerry in the presidential election.

SNIP

Silveira's neighbor west of Boynton Beach called 911 on Oct. 26 after seeing Soper carrying Silveira as she screamed "no, no, no," Assistant State Attorney Tim Beckwith said. Soper pointed a knife at Silveira and threatened to kill her, he added. A deputy found evidence of a struggle inside the home, including a broken pot.

Soper dragged Silveira, kicking and screaming, into her house before throwing her to the floor and spitting on her, police reports said. Soper reportedly bit Silveira and then placed a knife in her hand and told her to kill him, because a vote for Kerry would mean he would die anyway.

2. I wish the article had explained how the kid thought that a vote

for Kerry would get him killed.

Especially if he was planning to go into the army.

That's the only explanation I can think of. The kid was just plain bug nuts.

8. A woman at work here who was in Iraq

said that her unit thought that if Kerry got elected they'd all die.

Is dying for Bush preferable somehow? I don't get it.

6. This guy needs way more than 90 days in jail.

I'm not gonna be hyperbolic and say that he needs to be locked up forever, but 90 days for assault with a deadly weapon and battery and the rest? This guy should have way more than that, or at least be put in a state hospital for a while, even just due to how wildly out-of-proportion his reaction to the vote was.
