Three Pontiac men took the law -- and a blistering hot metal spatula -- into their hands when they learned a neighbor had been regularly sodomizing his 7- and 10-year-old nephews...

No matter how understandible it is, I still have a hard time to approve of people taking the law in their own hands. That's what our justice system is for. And maybe not in this case, but if the guy accused of sodomy turns out to be innocent after those guys have their way with him, well, that would suck big time (understatement).

I'm sure this happens in "less developed" countries all the time...if not worse. :-o

It's probably not something people should be doing, but with a prison system that doesn't seem to work, sometimes branding seems like a good option. ;-7

I'd have thought they would end up with suspended sentences. It said they made a plea bargain, now if that were me I think I would take my chances with a jury. I wouldnt convict them I know that.

yeah i would definitely have gone with a jury, i dont know many people who would convict them, although they are obviously guilty of committing a crime.

Wow happened not to far from where I grew up. Eeks.

I can't imagine how I would feel if that happened to my son. I am sure I would go beyond ballistic.

He got off easy--if it was Canada, we would've done that, then made him shovel our snow-covered sidewalks and driveways after we branded him :-b

I do. I've been on jury duty a time or two, and I was shocked to see how many people have "bleeding hearts" for these criminals. And in this case, the criminal I'm talking about is the sodomizer.
