Mr. Mason-Following the letter of the law is not ultra conservative, it is the way our country works (or should work)....I assume his comment means he would prefer ultra liberal, like Ms. Lyon would have preferred, wherein we slap people on the hand and blame the gun instead of the person that shot it.
This thinking is the impetus for many problems we have today, from illegal immigration to child molesters serving a year and walking free.
This thinking, and I am not trying to get too political, mods, but this thinking is why children continue to suffer in our society-because adults and their liberal mindsets must come first. Sex offenders, murderers, rapists...we are supposed to understand and soothe them, they are just wounded souls-B.S.! Garbage, and don't blame it on conservatism.
Conservatism dictates that a centralized government stand aside for the most part, so that we as a society can hold one another to high moral values-Just as law enforcement in Florida (at least in this case) is trying to do.
So, is this "newbie" lawyer going to ask for legislation from the bench as Ms. Lyon tried? Good luck with that, as HHJP seems kinda "conservative."
