You should be innocent of rape because of a lack of mens rea. If you did not know the girl was a minor and had no reason to suspect it, you had no intention to violate a minor, and that is the lack of mens rea because it is NOT illegal or immoral in the eyes of the to have consensual sex with an adult.
Additionally, what the fuck is jailbait doing at a bar in the first place? Most dram shops require you to be *at least* 21 to even BE in the bar in the first place, going both towards a reasonable presumption of adulthood AND also nailing the girl herself for being a minor in possession for being in an age restricted area.
Also, I disagree that local judges are more prone to abuse. Federal judges are political appointees and do NOT answer to voters.
Some have said that there was already a terrorist attack in the making, and the propaganda film was used as a convenient excuse to cover up for the true motives for it.
Let the castle doctrine and general self defense take care of it.
Some madman comes my way with a gun hell bent on killing? I'm going to put my own life on the line to stop him. If he dies because he was an idiot and bit off more than he can chew, serves him right.
If I die, I die a hero.
But what would the point be of me surviving only to get locked up for manslaughter?
Being able to defend yourself from a violent crime is one of the fringe benefits of the right to bear arms.
Sodomizing someone in a confined space is not a state sanctioned punishment.
It is a blatant failure of prison security, a side effect of skimping on isolation measures in the name of operating a prison profitably.
Even if the victim deserves to be raped (which I strongly disagree with anyway), why does the guy doing the raping get free sex? If you want pussy on demand outside of prison you either have to be married, have a girlfriend, or cough up money to a prostitute. Why should a hardened criminal get better bargains on sex inside prison than outside?
Prison rape is a side effect of skimping on security.
Once you add in all the legal bills incurred during the appeals process you may well find capital punishment to be more expensive than life in prison.
Not to mention the obvious factor of mistakes being buried forever. With life, there's the chance that a mistake can be exposed and a miscarriage of justice avoided. Once someone's dead, however, the legal system usually doesn't give a shit if a mistake was made, and anyone on the sly who railroaded someone into death row gets away with murder.
This, by the way, is why in some cases, perjury during a capital case is itself a capital crime. Swear falsely and get someone executed? Too late to bring him back, so the best they can do is put the lying ass coon dog in the ground with the guy they got buried.
Just lock them up and let them decide for themselves when or even if they want to be euthanized. Prisoner consent + executive execution warrant = much less of a legal mess.
The needs of ISPs that want to forbid servers on residential connections and force you to pay a premium for a business grade connection and a static IP are VERY well solved by NAT.
And the people who have them and don't need them won't give them up without a fight because now they're a scarce resource they would rather milk dry for all it's worth than be polite and surrender them.
The migration is being obstructed by people with hoards of v4's they got back when the addresses were plentiful, as well as ISPs that find more profit in milking their IP space for all its worth and making people pay for a business connection to get out of NAT...and also enforcing "no servers allowed" in their residential contracts.
Nowadays, stashes of v4's are a gold mine and people holding them are not going to let their windfall go without a fight. Instead, they are going to squat on them, and milk their inventory of v4's for all its worth.
Whether we like it or not, the v4 black market is here, and it's not going away. If ICANN and the internet registries actually had balls enough to revoke allocations from people that didn't need them, or claimed they did but then were caught selling them on the black market, we would not be in as bad of a mess.
Also, being able to NAT your residential customers and milk business grade fees for real IPs is quite lucrative for an ISP.
Entrenched interests are making a fortune selling off v4's and/or extracting premiums from business class users that are able and willing to pay to get out of NAT, and it is only going to die when it's pried from their cold dead hands.
V6 needs to arrive, but greed by hoarders and providers, and pacifism on the part of internet registries have aggravated the crisis and made it worse than it needs to be.
Depends on metric expansion of space. If you want to get somewhere receding from you faster than the speed of light you'll never get there as spacetime expansion is supposedly exponential.

Simple.
First of all, the producer of the movie wasn't the one that pulled the trigger.
Second, wasn't there something about a terrorist plot already in the making and perhaps the terrorists used the movie as a convenient excuse?
The constitution made SCOTUS the final judge of its own meaning, so things ARE constitutional if SCOTUS says so.
To be blunt, SCOTUS has the constitution's consent to make binding rulings on what is and is not constitutional.
See Marbury v. Madison for an example.
And the judge is a technophobe moron if he thinks that people can actually delete their own facebook accounts even if they try.
Facebook doesn't let you delete yourself period.
Castration as a punishment for a sex offense may well be fitting enough to not be considered cruel and unusual.

Sad but true.
Which makes me wonder why the order was issued to her instead of Facebook.
Bull fucking shit.
Ever heard of "white collar crime"?
Poor people just get caught easier.
Some have said that there was already a terrorist attack in the making, and the propaganda film was used as a convenient excuse to cover up for the true motives for it.
I agree, driving a bus over someone is much more dramatic than simply shooting them.

A good punishment for rapists would be castration.
Same mentality as chopping hands off of thieves.
Capital punishment in a DUI case, not so much.
Capital punishment in a booze aggravated case of vehicular homicide? Better.
Like HELL it does.

Why was the order issued to her and not ot Facebook?
Last time I tried to delete a facebook account Facebook openly defied my request, so this order may well be impossible to obey.
Facebook sucks. They hold your data hostage and flat out refuse to let go of it.
"that you own" was the biggest mistake ever made.
The needs of ISPs that want to forbid servers on residential connections and force you to pay a premium for a business grade connection and a static IP are VERY well solved by NAT.
And guess who owns the pipes?
With companies like Charter playing games with DNS and NXDOMAIN I would hardly call "users" an exclusive group in the set of "malicious entities"
That surplus was invested in treasury bonds that were sold.
All we have left in social security is a vault full of Uncle Sam's IOU's.

A unicorn shitting cheeseburgers would be more economical.

I think GP meant two beams of light on a head to head collision course.
Temporal prime directive.
