Settler jailed for assaulting Palestinian teen
Court sentences Zvi Struck, who kidnapped, injured 15-year-old Palestinian in 2007, to 18 months in prison. 'I cannot avoid expressing disgust, deep shock over the signs of trauma the minor suffered,' Judge in case says

<snip>

"The Jerusalem District Court sentenced Zvi Struck, a 28-year-old resident of the Shilo settlement, to 18 months in prison for kidnapping and abusing a 15-year-old Palestinian boy.

Struck was convicted on the charges of aggravated battery, kidnapping with intention to injure, causing damage and three counts of assault. In addition to the prison term, the court sentenced him to one year of probation, and ordered him to pay the victim NIS 50,000 ($14,100) in compensation."

<snip>

"The incident took place in July 2007; Struck and another suspect kidnapped and beat the Palestinian teen, a resident of the West Bank village of Kusra. The teen was later found unconscious in an open field, naked, tied and injured, after making it to a main road on his own. Passersby rushed him to a hospital in nearby Nablus.

In addition to the assault, Struck was also convicted for a previous incident, during which he met with the teen on the outskirts of Kusra and demanded him to leave the area claiming he was trespassing on his land. At that time he slapped the teen, and killed a newborn goat by kicking it."

1. Can you say "sociopathic behavior"?
Assaulted a 15 year old more than once and kicked a baby goat to death?

This jackass needs some psychiatric care to go along with his prison time.

2. Disgusting
18 months isn't a lot for a crime like this.

'The teen was later found unconscious in an open field, naked, tied and injured, after making it to a main road on his own'

Awful.

And FTR what would be the motivation for kicking a *newborn goat* to death? - the man sounds like a twisted personality in many ways.
