Adam Johnson gets 6 years for grooming a ‘child’ and having some kind of sexual activity (he said, she said… we don’t want or need to know) with her. Good riddance to his career. But that’s a small price to pay, though not in monetary terms.

Yet there are some who reckon that 6 years is in fact too long a sentence. Not because the rotten shit doesn’t deserve it, but more because there are murderers and rapists who’ve received lesser sentences.

So much for ‘consistency’ or proportionality in the law then. As in so much else.

And although the crime is what he’s being punished for, that crime has a context. And in Johnson’s case its a very tragic context for his victim. Who, due to Johnson’s stream of constant denial, was reviled and accused of lying, trolled on social media which led to her taking an overdose. A girl of 16 (by then) who’s only ‘crime’ was to be naive and to have been preyed upon by an exploitative, entitled shit of a sportsman who’d been her hero.

But as ever, the ‘full details’ are never revealed until sentencing, lest they be prejudicial to the specifics. If someone can be viewed as ‘always a scumbag, does that all the time’ it would be rather difficult to find him innocent of the specific crime in question. But once guilty all bets are off. So the details emerge.

Johnson’s counsel claimed Johnson wasn’t ‘into children’, but it ‘just happened’. In her words: it was an aberration.

But its not an aberration. What is an aberration is the animal porn on Johnson’s computers. That’s seriously fucking aberrant. I didn’t even know animals watched porn. Ya live and learn. And the minor STD problems due to his confessed ‘flings’ with fans. Loads of them.

But on a happier note, the picture was taken this very morning at Daniel’s bakery in Temple Fortune. And they bake the sacred ‘challah’, the most holy sight in all Judaism. The Western Wall’s all well and good but you wouldn’t wanna eat one. Whereas these, mere minutes out of the ovens… aaaahhhhhhh…

Happy Friday/Shabbas
