It shouldn’t shock anyone that a degenerate wouldn’t even have the decency to attempt suicide in private. Nor that his attempt was half-assed to say the least. From the A.P.:
SPRINGFIELD, Mass. – A Massachusetts man is recovering after slashing his own throat upon hearing his conviction of assaulting a child.
Donald Gibson pulled a sharp object from his pocket and cut himself while a court clerk read the verdict Friday. Prosecutor James Orenstein says officers knocked Gibson to the ground and disarmed him.
The 39-year-old man was taken to a hospital with injuries that did not appear to be life-threatening.
The Hampden County Sheriff’s Office says the object was a piece of battery casing about the size of a quarter.
Gibson was convicted of indecent assault and battery on an 11-year-old. He was acquitted of a third count.
Way to run a secure court room Massachusetts. Let’s hope next time this pervert is successful in his attempt, and that no innocent bystander gets hurt.
It’s too bad he didn’t succeed in killing himself. As far as I’m concerned, these people should be executed anyway. They’re disgusting.
The worst part of the story is that he was getting off pretty light anyway, now he’ll spend much of his light sentence in a hopsital ward.
Rob Taylor,
Well I have a good feeling Donald Gibson won’t be harming children for a while.
At best, this was a pathetic play for attention. But more likely, Gibson knew this would get him a cushy spot in the prison infirmary instead of in the general prison population.
The mayor of Portland. OR should take advice from this guy.
