We couldn't say it better ourselves: "A Dallas man has been sentenced to 35 years in prison for spitting at a cop. He was charged with assault with a deadly weapon, because he's HIV-positive. So his spit is made of death!!! Except, uh… we were taught many years ago that much as you can't get pregnant from oral sex, you can't actually get the AIDS from fucking spit… Oh, Texas. You never cease to make us want to give you back to Mexico." [Gawker]

The The Dallas Morning News has much better coverage than the badly sourced Gawker article. Two points: The fact that his spit isn't actually a deadly weapon is meaningless in this case because he intended it to be so. Secondly, his sentence is more about the fact that he had to be restrained and removed from the court room in the presence of the Jury, than the crime he was convicted of. That kind of behavior is what causes those 12 people to ask each other if they want that guy walking around on the street.
