Your headline writer seems to have a wry sense of humor. Let's hope that's the explanation--it's the nicest one I could think of.

Okay, folks, here's today's lesson. "Bigotry" is very different from "bigamy." (You could look it up.) So far, bigotry in and of itself hasn't been declared a crime. Bigamy almost always is.

Bring back public hangings for this type of crime,
19 year sentence is BS.

What about being a bigot? It was on the headlines.
I saw no mention of a bigot in the entire article and am not sure if that is even a crime, huh, huh, huh.

it must be a seldom used sentencing guidelines used only by the Butte County courts. Adding Bigotry to a molestation charge nets an extra 5 years. I'm guessing the approriate word should have been "bigamy"?
