Gotta Love the Euros. So civilized. They don't do war any more. They are much more passive. They love life and love each other, whatever age.
In Italy, a 34 year old man was arrested for having a 'love affair' with a 13 year old girl. In America, I know, we are so puritanical, we call that pedophilia. We lock him up where he gets to know Bubba very personally, every night until Bubba tires of him and cuts his throat.
In Italy, the court sentenced him to 16 months because they accepted his argument that he and the 13 year old girl had a 'real love'. His lawyers argued that a 'deep tenderness' existed between the 34 year old and the 13 year old and that he had fallen head over heels for her after a sexual encounter in his car. His lawyers said that the 13 year old had consented to every action. According to a judge in Rome (Simonetta Matone), the law must "always look to be reasonable in these cases." [How many cases like this do you get in Rome?]
I have no use for these people or their country, not to apologize nor discuss anything of a mature nature. Useless idiots in this country would have us do rapproachment with all countries on earth to make amends for Bush ... and why? Why discuss anything with Italy. It is they who should apologize for what they have done. And yes, this is one case and that isn't indicative of anything - although the attitude of the judge is. There are more, we just do not always hear about them.
Deconstruct this argument and the chronology - this man (34 years old) and this child (13 years old) are in his car. He does not YET HAVE FEELINGS FOR HER or they are, at that moment driven by his need to molest a child, he rapes her and she tells him she enjoyed it. A child does not have the maturity or emotional skills to make those decisions - the reason why we don't let 13 year olds get married or buy homes.
Then he develops feelings. I would be willing to accept that argument - even though he is a liar and said that to avoid eternal imprisonment with Bubba. I would then turn around and sentence him to 100 years for the first act - rape of the girl in the car, BEFORE he had feelings for her.
For the Italians, that transition was too difficult to make and they gave up and said it was ok. Did you wonder when reading the story why he had "sex" [raped] in his car with her? Most Italian males live at home with mama until their mid to late 30s. Real men they are - living at home and raping 13 year olds.
I have utterly no use for them, now or ever. Good riddance.
