Now this, I like! Awesome, that this is a highlight of events taking place.
I think Mr. Harris should serve more than 20 days, but, it’s a start. I think it’s unfair that people can get more time for words – that’s classified as emotional abuse of children/spouse/elder…either way, there’s a victim.
