Whoa! Everyone calm down! It's Ok. He's a conservative. They're allowed to.
- Correct! This is how many conservatives reproduce.
  
  Well, most of them can’t reproduce yet.
“That same judge has come under fire recently for lenient sentences and bond decisions ahead of the state legislature’s judicial selection process, which is currently underway.”
I never would have guessed.

Was he really “slapped”? More like he was gently caressed with 35 charges. Ffs.
- A warm oil massage of 35 charges.
Not the first time this judge has done this.
- What kind of oversight do judges have, how is this allowed?
  
  Depends on the court, but for this judge, the primary oversight is that the state legislature in question can replace him and they keep choosing not to.
Wow. The judge must know him. What a piece of shit.
- I don't know what the deal is. Being from SC I'd half expect it if he was rich and had a high profile local lawyer or something. But his attorney appears to have been a public defender as well. Not sure wtf is wrong with the judge.
- maybe some feebs should look into the judge. you know. see if they swap groomed kids or something.

The judge in this case, Bentley Price, has been found to be unqualified by the state bar association. Unfortunately, this doesn't restrict him from office, where he can continue to let child rapists freely roam the community. This judge also let a murder suspect out on bond who, while awaiting his murder trial, shot a 9 year old. Best I can tell, south carolina doesn't currently have a way to recall judges who, like Bentley Price, are openly in favor of children being raped and murdered, but this bill looks like it would provide the means of doing so. It hasn't been updated since 2021.
How the fuck?
Thanks Judge Bentely Price
The Honorable Bentley Douglas Price was deemed overall “unqualified” after receiving one unqualified mark, in the “reputation” category.
"Honorable" my ass
exfuckingscuseme?

Looks like he was ruled unqualified due to his reputation last month but he remains on as a judge until the end of his term... And could remain if the state congress keeps him... But the article paints a picture that that's very unlikely.
So the good news is that the guy seems to be on borrowed time, the bad news is that he's got a history of letting monsters back out on the street.
Judge Bentley Price appears to be quite the dick swinger.
@snaptastic
- Ppl need to petition to have price chucked out
Thumbnail had me worried about Tom Segura for a second.
Borne solicited someone he believed was underage for sex and encouraged them to make child sex abuse material
So he got stung by a cop pretending to be a kid. Eh. I'm fine with not having tax dollars pay for his room and board if there wasn't any actual harm committed. The guy knows he's going to be under a microscope for the rest of his life, so I doubt he'll ever try this again.
- That assumes that this person is capable of normal decision-making abilities in the first place. Judging by the fact that he got hit with 35 child solicitation charges to begin with, I'm not gonna hold my breath on him not becoming a repeat offender.
- What about the rest of the 35 charges?
- so I doubt he’ll ever try this again.
  And I'm sure he's never tried it before either. No point in looking into that.
- The guy knows he’s going to be under a microscope for the rest of his life, so I doubt he’ll ever try this again.
  Then you're a naive fool. They should put this asshole down before he escalates to harming an actual child. If he hasn't already.
Street justice is the best best we can hope for.
