And this is one of the best the Taunton area of Massachusetts has to offer by way of citizen representation in that state?  Hey, they voted him in…

Meet Massachusetts Rep. James Fagan:

A Massachusetts politician and defense attorney has touched off a firestorm with his shocking public vow to torment and “rip apart” child rape victims who take the witness stand if the state legislature passed stiff mandatory sentences for child sex offenders.

Rep. James Fagan, a Democrat, made the comments during debate last month on the state House floor.

“I’m gonna rip them apart,” Fagan said of young victims during his testimony on the bill. “I’m going to make sure that the rest of their life is ruined, that when they’re 8 years old, they throw up; when they’re 12 years old, they won’t sleep; when they’re 19 years old, they’ll have nightmares and they’ll never have a relationship with anybody.”

Fagan said as a defense attorney it would be his duty to do that in order to keep his clients free from a “mandatory sentence of those draconian proportions.” Those comments drew the ire of local activists as well as colleagues.

Just when I thought neither politicians nor lawyers could disgust me any more, Fagan comes along and does what he’s paid to do — he opens his mouth.  Some voters deserve what they get, but then again, some don’t.  I have to wonder what the parents in his constituency are thinking, and I wonder why it has taken this long to hit the media.
