Bronc Will Not Scare Me Into Editing This Post

Found on angolapress.com (via attu):

Nairobi, 10/10 - A Kenyan court Monday sentenced a couple to 18 months in prison each for having sexual relations inside a Mosque at Gilgil, about 100-km northwest of Nairobi.

Naivasha Senior Magistrate John Kingori called the act by Peter Kimani and Jennifer Wairimu, "abominable" to religion and dismissed their plea for leniency.

The couple, caught in the act 3 October, claimed they were under the influence of alcohol.

Kimani said he thought he was inside a hotel room while Wanjiru claimed she was too drunk to remember what happened.

There but for the grace of Allah go I. Given my history of alcohol consumption and drunken sluttiness, that could easily have been me.

Except for the whole Nairobi part.

Eighteen months does sound very severe but the Indecent Exposure and Public Lewdness Statutes for some states are much worse. And by states I mean the ones in the United States.

Of America.

The maximum sentence for such an offense in Maryland, South Carolina and Louisiana is THREE YEARS. Hell, I’ve been drunk and exposed in Louisiana.

I wanted some beads.

Now, those three year sentences coupled with monetary fines represent the maximum, but I can not imagine those same states would look too fondly on the concepts of a religious structure and the act of fornication. I bet the mere notion of a blowjob in a sacristy would result in a lynching or, better yet, a shotgun wedding in those states.

So, I think Jennifer and Peter got off pretty light. But I wonder...

I wonder if they’ll be able to share a cell.

I wonder if that was their first date.

I wonder if Jennifer and Peter are common African names.

I wonder if Peter at least got to "finish".

I wonder who I was referring to when I used “a blowjob in a sacristy” as a hypothetical.
