Did the punishment match the crime? Too high? Too low?
Some of you may have seen the video that went viral when Mr. Congeniality here pounded the crap out of his dog.
The video went viral and the police got involved. As well they should have.
No dog deserves to be on the receiving end of some ‘tough guy’s tantrum.
Gold Coast man Brett Simpson has been fined $1000 but escaped a conviction after pleading guilty to punching and kicking his dog in January.
Footage of the incident, which went viral after it was recorded at Palm Beach, was screened in Southport Magistrates Court on Monday.
It shows the 32-year-old kicking and yanking the lead of his Staffordshire bull terrier named Rocky, which sent the two-and-a-half year old dog airborne for one metre.
Mr Simpson also admitted punching the dog in the face, which occurred before the video started.
[…] Mr Simpson was also slapped with nearly $1200 in associated costs and prohibited from owning an animal for three years.The metal roofer from Reedy Creek had voluntarily attended anger management sessions and donated $500 to the RSPCA.

Do you think he got off too light?
Here’s why the judge said it wasn’t as harsh as it might have been:
Magistrate Louise Shepherd noted Mr Simpson’s remorse and said the “public shaming … and victimisation” he’d experienced was another mitigating factor in her sentencing decision.

The video made him ‘internet famous’ and he got backlash serious enough that he needed to change both the kind of vehicle he drives and the license plate.

What’s one thing that increasingly unites men and women? We can both agree that Liberals are losing their ever-loving minds. Now there’s a shirt that says just that.
Conveniently available in Both Ladies…
AND Men’s versions.
Either Liberals just don’t get it, or they are sick in the head. Probably both. Think about it: They want to have all of the blessings that come with living in a capitalist society such as modern medicine and technology. But they believe in socialism, which stifles innovation and progress.
They want to be protected by the police and the military, but they attack and criticize the men and women who protect us. They call conservatives “racists,” but it’s their own identity politics that have created race problems in the first place. After all, Democrats were the party of slavery!
They attack hunters, but have no problem wearing leather shoes or owning cars with leather upholstery! And of course, they believe guns kill people. Not the people that pull the trigger.
Well, here’s a shirt that sums it perfectly. Liberalism is a… MENTAL DISORDER.
And the best part? This shirt is made in the USA, printed in the USA, on an American-Made t-shirt press!
