The good news is that he had 10 years probated when he committed the crime, so he'll have to serve that 10 and whatever he gets from these crimes will go on the end. I wouldn't be at all surprised if he ends up serving 20.

I never can understand the guys who narrowly miss going to prison and then go right back out and commit more crimes. I've seen guys with life sentences do it over and over again and then cry when the parole board gives them a "serve out" (you serve out life by dying in prison).

yeh, it's not sad that a custom sportster was stolen from a charity who was going to use the money for a great cause. Yep, not sad at all
What the hell was I thinking. Think I'll go steal something from outside a Goodwill store

Meth damages the brain and body more than any other drug. Watched a documentary on HBO once which was truly terrifying. More examples of the failed drug policies of America.

+1 on all previous quotes.
More publicity for the stars, and a better backstory equals more money at the auction block.

They know these types are useless and they will never benefit from keeping them in jail, however if they throw me or you in jail, they know we will pay our fines and walk the straight and narrow.
worthless pos = more money out of pocket
average joe made a mistake = more money in their pocket
just my 2 cents worth

I hear ya brenn, but this is an entirely different conversation. As you already know, the system breeds criminals. It's set up for it. The revolving door doesn't always spin on it's own.

Just to be clear, I don't condone, or will I defend any POS moron, lifetime criminal. But a convicted felon that's served his time, paid his debt, has a very hard time making it once out. That title of "convicted felon" never goes away. Those people have very few choices once out.

And I realize that committing more crimes shouldn't be one of them, and a lot of morons do just that. However, even those that don't choose a life of crime have a very long, steep road ahead. They have very few options. Getting a good job is not one of them. Of course that doesn't mean going out and committing more crime.

It's complicated and I don't have the answers, just an observation. But the moron meth head in this story - see ya in 20 years!!
