Posted on: Court upholds sex conviction for Las Vegas magician

KillerB is right - the hysteria and punitive orientation of these cases points more to the sexual phobia of the system than it does to the social harm caused by the accused.

Posted on: 6 charged in Metro officer's death appear in NLV court

The vengeful, violent comments above that are directed at these boys are barely distinguished from the awfulness of the crime they committed. These are immature, ignorant boys brought up in a culture which celebrates violence of any kind. If you punish them, wouldn't you also have to indict the culture which taught them how to rob and kill? They weren't born to kill - they were taught.

Cara, would you please be cognizant of your stereotyping.

Posted on: Ex-NBA star Antoine Walker to pay $12,835 monthly in gambling debt case

Rwolf's suggestion is supported by the legal theory of causation. Can a casino foresee gambling losses by patrons and the resultant ripple effect in a community? If so, a casino perpetrates a "social harm".

Posted on: If Palin’s book is so bad, then why is it a best-seller?

I, too, consider good pizza to be a more serious topic than Sarah Palin.

Posted on: Harrah's working on plan to take over Planet Hollywood

Don't think the Department of Justice wouldn't like to flex some muscle and file a conspiracy in the restraint of trade suit in federal court naming both Harrah's and MGM as codefendants. Especially if it means staying in Las Vegas for the duration of the litigation.
