This is why they want homeschooling, much easier to abuse children away from prying eyes

It's why they act like boots are so delicious. Not because they enjoy licking boots but because they see it as a necessary downside to a hierarchy existing that gives them full power over what they see as their domain. It might be their household, their land, their business, their social group.

It's why they get so upset at the idea of someone sharing information and think everyone should mind their own business (eg when cheating). It's behind the "no snitching" mindset (though that one also has a dose of "not all laws are just" and my personal pov is that it is right to inform to help someone being hurt but it is not right to inform to hurt someone who is breaking some law without a real victim or a "victim" that themselves are hurting people but through legal means, which is why I hate thieves but don't care about shoplifters at big chains). Though there's also a tribalism aspect to that, where it's acceptable to expose some cases of cheating if your loyalty to the victim should be higher than to the cheater, in their mind at least. And for some reason the idea that their own values can determine that loyalty others give them breaks their mind (eg "BuT fAmilY!" or "bUt waS yOUr frIeNd fIIIrst!").

It's a worldview that puts power above everything else, while the left cares more about how power is used with an emphasis on justice. And the reason that it's an eternal conflict is that neither side are objectively wrong. Those with the most power do make the rules and can even break those rules because one needs power to enforce them. But also if the majority puts aside their own lust for power and works together for each other, than can overpower the powerful individuals and rule for justice instead of their own greed. But even then, opportunists will always be seeking their own power.

They do it that way so even with good behavior or some appeals for a commuted sentence, still ends up being more years than they'll live by a mile.

It's simple. In the USA, and many other counties, rape of any sort by a man isn't as bad as anything a woman/mother might do wrong. I didn't read the article however I wouldn't be surprised to find out that the husband was also beating, raping or otherwise abusing his wife.

It's mostly what it sounds like. Prison until you die. But, unless given a life sentence without the possibility of parole, once you've served a minimum number of years (and that number varies on the crime, state/federal law and judge's applied minimums) you can become eligible for parole. What that means is a parole board can determine later that you have sufficiently served time for your crimes, that you are remorseful for them, and that you no longer pose a danger to anyone, and release you from prison before your death.

When it comes to sentences with specific years attached, like this guy's 42 year sentence, it is a bit different. They can also end early with a parole decision, but there is a minimum time served for each sentence before you are eligible for parole. That minimum scales with the full sentence. It is, I think, usually 1/3rd of the full sentence, unless the judge sets a higher minimum.

Also you can be given multiple years long sentences, one per guilty verdict, but depending on the judge's discretion or if those crimes are statuarily required to be served consecutively (i.e. one after the other), sometimes those sentences are to be served concurrently (i.e. at the same time). What that means is, if you get sentenced to two 1 year sentences and a 3 year sentence to be served concurrently, you're really only serving 3 years. But if you have to serve them consecutively, you'll be serving all 5 years in total. And your parole potential starts, thus, later.

So it's kind of complicated. Sometimes you see someone getting a life sentence and they're released in 20 years. Sometimes you see someone get a dozen sentences but they're all served concurrently and they're out in a few years too. Sometimes someone gets multiple sentences to be served consecutively and ends up with like 200 years in prison and are essentially guaranteed to die in prison before they are eligible for parole, despite none of their crimes carrying a life sentence potential.

Also this dude's 42 years and life sentence are consecutive, so he must serve the minimum of both before possibility of parole. But that is probably about 35-40 years from now at minimum. I'm unclear if the mother's 7 life sentences are consecutive or concurrent, but since they didn't say, probably concurrent.

From a technical standpoint, getting multiple life sentences means if one gets removed on appeal, the others still stand.

For the victim(s), especially if there's multiple victims, each life sentence acknowledges each crime committed against them and validates them.

The last I checked a *life sentence " was 40 or 45years. So if they claim 2 life sentences that technically 80-90 years in jail.

Hopefully she can get a lot of help and therapy while she's still young. Once you're an adult no one gives a fuck what you've been through or what you're going through.

The bills won't pay themselves. Food won't magically show up just because you're too mentally or emotionally fucked up to function like a normal adult.

Because the PEDOPHILE'S pedophile husband impregnated her.

Ain't none of them giving pardons out for free.

Presidential pardons can't touch state-level convictions, only federal. That said, there's nothing stopping the Oklahoma governor from issuing a pardon...

Had me in the first half...

No it can be just non political where the republican is too moderate so they don't vote or only vote for a random third party. There are plenty of hard right people that don't vote especially in deep red or non competitive areas.

Mom was given seven consecutive life sentences, so I guess that's technically more. Both will die there.

Life with parole is effectively figured as 45 years in Oklahoma. So with the consecutive sentencing that's an effective figure of 87 years for parole computations.

Well when your former business parter-in-crime is president those are the kinds of slaps on the wrist one gets.
