Martin Blackwell of Georgia on Wednesday was sentenced to 40 years imprisonment after he poured boiling water on a gay couple he caught sleeping together.

On Feb. 12, Martin Blackwell found his girlfriend’s son and a friend sleeping together after the couple worked an overnight shift.

Angry and disgusted at the same-sex couple, he filled up a pot with boiling water, soaked the two in bed and yelled, “get out of my house with all that gay.”

“You were soulless, malicious and a violent person on February 12,” judge Henry Newkirk told him on Wednesday’

“You had so many outs where the voice of reason could’ve taken over.”

“I woke up to the most unimaginable pain in my entire life,” Tolbert, who was scalded said during his tearful testimony. “I’m wondering why I’m in so much pain. I’m wondering why I’m wet.”

Tolbert stayed for 10 days in the hospital, while Gooden was there for a month, including two weeks in a coma.

He has no right to inflict such harm on them, they could have died from the injuries sustained. That 40 year jail term is a bit too much though

And a man was sentence to just 19 years in Nigeria for rape and recording unclad of a girl?

He baptized them for them to change

NgcoboP:

SMH... so if he win, he will strike out the gay law? alone?

The court suppose to tamper Justice with mercy.....

The sentence too much.....
After all they are still alive

Useless gays. They had the guts to have sex in his house! And the judge slams him 40 years in prison because of these gay abominations even though they survived. That's injustice.
