LONGUEUIL, QUE (Canada).?A Quebec man who slapped his teenage daughter so hard she died has been sentenced to 60 days in jail.

Moussa Sidime is expected to serve his time two days a week over 30 weeks.

He was sentenced Wednesday in court in Longueuil, south of Montreal.

The 74-year-old man had pleaded guilty to manslaughter in the death of his 13-year-old daughter Noutene in October 2010.

The court heard Sidime struck her because he didn?t like how she?d completed a chore and because she had been disrespectful.

It was Sidime who called 911 himself after finding the girl unconscious minutes later. She died after a few days in hospital.

The Crown was seeking a prison sentence.

Sidime?s lawyer had argued for leniency, calling the death an exceptional case.

Hmm, a slap shouldn't kill somebody. There must have been some unknown condition she had. But jeez, 2 days a week in jail for 30 weeks? Seems like a super odd sentence for killing a little girl.

Not everything requires blood for blood or for someone to die in a cell, clearly the courts found it to be an accident, no motive of intent and chances are the guy is devastated and now has to live with himself the rest of his short remaining years, what good does it really do to have him sit in jail for a Cpl of years when rehabilitation isn't necessary as it was a once off and retribution is served by what he has to live with.

Dont forget this happened in Canada.

*slap* "sorry'
*dies* "sorry"
*judge* "sorry"
*old guy* "sorry"

and that pretty much sums it all up right there.

BUT WHAT THE HELL IS A 73YO DOING WITH A 13YO DAUGHTER?! Thats the real crime :/

Couldn't agree more

?For a Muslim, you believe that what has happened is the will of God . . . . Whatever would have come out today would have been what God wanted ? as with the passing of our sister, said Aissatou Sidim?-Blanton, who travelled from Texas to be at Wednesday?s sentencing.

 

Yeah, why am I not surprised which religion is involved here?

To the contrary - EVERYONE who is affiliated with a religion has commited a crime... well except for Buddhism -

You actually googled and had to copy & Paste 10 links - just to get shot down with 1 comment - that sucks

Actually, its not me who got shot down, you proved what I was saying is correct. Any human can commit a crime, no matter what religion they belong to, even atheist commit crime.

I think most of the violence done by Buddhists is done to themselves, isnt it ?   Your wiki link actually mentioned they are among the least violent religions.  And the wiki link even states they had more than enough just cause for violence...

I know I erroneously said Buddhists NEVER commited violence - but when one thinks of a Buddhist - violence is not what comes to mind.

I know you see what I am saying - (of course I didnt really mean NO Buddhist EVER commited ANY violent act , my absolution was journalistic sensationalism)  but I know you see and agree with what Im saying... ;)

And now that I read your original post - I see the sarcasm - I guess it was late when I read it - or I was hopped up on Diet Coke and Tramadol - so to that I apologize.

 

Buddhist aren't that violent, that's why Buddhist (monks no less) have been killing anyone that isn't Buddhist in Burma for the past couple years, going as far as setting people on fire. This might be from 2012, but the discriminatory attacks haven't stopped.

    • This and Crazy Taxi are the two games that interested me the most from this showcase.
    • Good, because the nonstop chattering from the voices in her head made me quit the second game.
    • This new cabinet design lets you run AMD, Intel, and Nvidia PCs inside one case by Sayan Sen At Computex 2026 earlier this month, AMD announced a couple of new X3D processors for both sockets AM4 and AM5 as it confirmed the support extension of the latter till 2029. And although Intel didn't unveil any new desktop chips, the company's Core Ultra 200S Plus series is relatively new too. Let's say though that you want the best of both worlds simultaneously, and instead of running two different systems, you can have both running together side-by-side, or rather on top of one another. That's exactly what Thermaltake's CAPO X dual system is made for doing. While it's not exactly mandatory to run AMD with Intel, or vice versa, you get the idea. As you can see in the render above, it is essentially like a double-decker PC case that is capable of holding two microATX (mATX) motherboards. Even running just one discrete graphics card in a PC can get toasty, so you may be wondering how well the cooling is designed on the CAPO X, Thermaltake has confirmed, as is evident from the marketing promo image above, that the case supports up to two 360 mm AIO liquid coolers. 420mm is not supported. In total there is room for 13 120mm case fans. In terms of I/O (input/output) options for the two systems, there are naturally two places for those ports, one at the top and one at the very bottom of the chassis in the front panel. In terms of use cases, there are many possibilities. Thermaltake itself, for example, highlights how one system can be your main PC while the other could be the AI agent PC. Another example given is how it can be used to stream and game simultaneously with dedicated systems instead of hogging one with the entire load. Nothing regarding pricing or availability was said.

    • There might be some passive design improvements (cooling, etc), but I doubt they'd change the core performance spec of the hardware mid-generation when they've already got a new console in development.
    • State of Decay 3 is out in 2027, reveals Plague Nests with new co-op gameplay trailer by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe A few months ago, Undead Labs broke its silence about the third entry in the State of Decay series since its announcement in 2020. Today, the studio had a brand-new trailer to reveal at the Xbox Games Showcase, finally giving players a look at the Unreal Engine 5-powered title. A broad 2027 release window is now attached to State of Decay 3 too. The studio confirmed that every scene seen in the gameplay trailer (except for the studio logo) released today is from the game with no cinematic footage. "The quality bar of the moment-to-moment experience is higher than anything we’ve achieved in Undead Labs’ history," says the studio. "State of Decay 3 is being built in Unreal Engine 5, and we’re creating better quality versions of what makes our game the survival sandbox it is, and the combat experience is really, really important to us, and I think you can see it coming through in this trailer." One new aspect of this upcoming entry is the Plague Nests. These are supposed to be dynamic, dungeon‑like enemy hubs with varied “personas” that change tactics each time one appears on a map. These areas will have the best loot in the game for players brave enough to tackle them. The combat system is being overhauled too, letting players do quick and power attacks depending on the situation. This isn't just on the player's side though, as zombies themselves now have multiple new types of behaviors depending on how fresh or decayed they are. "All of these play very differently, especially as you start getting outnumbered or when you’re making noise and running around and trying to save your rear end or the rear end of your friend next to you," adds the developer. Of course, settlement building and community management are massive parts of this third entry too. These are being further expanded with the cooperative focus, giving players much more freedom for playing together than in State of Decay 2. Players will even be able to split up and build settlements in different areas of the same map with different goals. Undead Labs confirmed that playtests are already ongoing for the title, and interested players can sign up to participate by heading over here once more slots open up ahead of the full release. State of Decay 3 is coming out on PC, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Game Pass sometime in 2027.
