Irony is, indeed, a bitch.
Legless man sentenced to three years for choking his wife.
Oh man, I’ll just bet the other inmates are already lining up to butt fuck this guy the second he arrives.
According to the article, John Pierro has a history of slapping bitches around…or at least he did until he lost his legs. Then he just tried running them over with his hand-controlled SUV, threatening them with death, and throwing remote controls at them, often with devastating results.
A mental health expert – God, what would we do without ‘experts’? – says that Pierro has ‘anger management issues’.
No shit.
And apparently those issues began long before he lost his legs. Which means that John Pierro was probably a ticking time bomb for many years, was known to the police, and had friends, family and neighbors all try, at some point perhaps even beg, for some help. All to no avail, because, you know, that’s how the mental health system – in conjunction with the legal system – works in this country: the crazy, really dangerous douchebags get let loose to wreak havoc, because that’s easier than;
a) Treating them
b) Doing the paperwork that comes with an arrest and trial, and
c) If you didn’t have at least one batshit insane wife-beater walking around to arrest repeatedly, the cops would have nothing to do except sit around Dunkin’ Donuts and get that infamous Squad Car Spread around their middles, because let’s face it; wife-beaters are easier to arrest than drug dealers and pedophiles.
Hell, COPS has been on television for nearly 30 years, mostly because of wife beaters and domestic violence. What the fuck would we watch on TV without the John Pierro’s of the world?
I don’t mean to make light of domestic violence because that’s no joke. The joke is the guy is a known entity, has no fucking legs, repeats the same offenses, and they only get around to arresting and convicting him now?
And what’s this bullshit about ‘Second Degree Strangulation?’ So far as I’m concerned, every strangulation is a First Degree Strangulation. What, does he get cut some slack because he didn’t manage to kill her? By the way, how the hell do you strangle someone when you have no legs for leverage? How dumb, just what kind of total loser, do you have to be to get strangled – even unsuccessfully – by a man in a fucking wheelchair? Couldn’t you just run away…or maybe just stand the fuck up?
Unless he got her when she was sleeping?
Unfortunately, there is no picture in the article of the victim, but I’d wager she’s of a particular type, which is to say she’s probably been battered (by many men) into a state of utter meekness and defenselessness, and will probably require years of therapy just to be able to look people in the eye when they say 'Good Morning'. I feel for her.
In any case, when the Legless Lyncher finally gets to jail, I hope he has the time of his life getting treated like the helpless woman this time around. According to my friends who are actual prison guards in New York City, you can rest assured that John Pierro will wish he had died in that car crash that cost him his legs.
