Court rules that man on trial for fraud, who wants probation and offers "good character" witnesses, and claims he needs to take care of his sick wife, is told by court that his books on how to commit fraud and male supremacy/"wife training" are valid factors in court decision.

He thought that the 1st Amendment meant that he could say "it's a joke", when he's on trial for fraud?

Well, now his poor wife, who he probably "trained" via the methods in his own books, can now rest assured that he can't hit her with a rolled-up newspaper like a dog.

From: someone
The government presented excerpts from Kane's books. One title, "Mastering the Art of Male Supremacy: Training Techniques for the Home Front," suggested refraining from "real violence" but advocated disciplining wives with "a rolled up newspaper on the rump once in a while."



Light :(


Seriously, though, what an asshat. If you're going to defraud the government, keep a low profile. Don't publish a how-to manual. :rolleyes:
