Josh Duggar

Nothing matters anymore so it’s hard to care much about this, but it does seem like a travesty that Josh Duggar, convicted of downloading and viewing horrific photos and videos of toddlers and pre-pubescent girls being raped, gets only 12.5 years in prison. Because those little children will suffer way longer than that.

Buzzfeed has the details.

The light sentence is especially gross because Duggar, the oldest son of the “19 Kids and Counting” reality TV clan, was feigning innocence and requesting a new trial up until yesterday. He has yet to admit his guilt or offer any type of apology to his victims.

We can take some cold comfort in knowing he and his supporters will burn in hell for all eternity.
