Boomer with Attitude / News 24 years for sex slaver is 'too severe'? Please.

Jorge Flores-Rojas was sentenced to 24 years in prison for running what amounts to a sex slavery ring. He admitted to, and was convicted of, bringing women as young as 16 from various Latin American countries to the U.S., where he forced them to work as prostitutes, often making them have sex with up to 20 men in a row. His attorney, Lucky Osho, will appeal the sentence, which he has the gall to say is too severe. "Someone who kills someone driving drunk on the highway doesn't get 24 years," Osho said. Actually, Lucky, some drivers who kill while drunk get more than 24 years; ask Melissa Marvin, who got 60 years in a North Carolina prison for alcohol-related traffic deaths a few years ago. But Osho's argument is beside the point, which is that Flores-Rojas is as guilty of taking lives as anyone. The women he paid to be brought into the U.S. and then treated as so much meat — I was going to say cattle, but they're usually treated better than Flores-Rojas' slaves were — will never recover from what he did to them. Their humanity was violated, their lives are ruined. What more can you say than that? Their lives are ruined. Because Flores-Rojas wanted to make a lot of money and couldn't have cared less about these women's humanity or dignity. He took lives, just as surely as a murderer takes lives. Jorge Flores-Rojas is life-stealing scum of the earth and should be in prison for life.
