Why wouldn't they put a curse on the man that actually committed the crime and escaped a fitting sentence?

I believe only Wiccans believe this tenant of magic ...doing? The article doesn't state these witches are necessarily Wiccan.

The kid was arrested. It was and is the judge's responsibility for the sentencing! Right?
Holy hell, does the mob mentality have a severe lack of reasoning when it comes to who is responsible for what they are mad at!

First of all, they are going against their number one commandment of "harm none".
The Rede is similar to a consequentialist formulation of the Golden Rule,[10] a belief that is found in nearly every religion. Not all traditional Wiccans follow the Rede; some Gardnerians (a sect under Wicca) espouse the Charge of the Goddess as a guide for morality. Its line "Keep pure your highest ideal, strive ever towards it; let naught stop you or turn you aside, for mine is the secret door which opens upon the door of youth" is used as a maxim for ethical dilemmas.There is some debate in the neo-Pagan and Wiccan communities as to the meaning of the Rede. The debate centres on the concept of the Rede being advice, not a commandment.[11]

The kid did the crime. He should be punished.

Why not the judge?

Is 6 months too little for a rape conviction?
I don't see how "cursing" the defendant is going to change the law, but alright. Maybe there are better uses of time, such as organizing an effort to have the minimum sentences changed?
He was at a party and sexually assaulted a drunk woman. Even the victim said, "assaulted and nearly raped," which makes it clear that not even the victim classified it as rape.
Should he get the same sentence for a violent crime when he didn't commit his crime violently?
i wonder how many you actually knew, i certainly dont believe in any kind of return of bad karma for causing others harm from a curse and some but not all pagan religions do either

I've hung around many pagan religious people and they ALL have this commandment.
Even Satanists.......
