Maybe he crossed his heart and promised to never do it again. (Sarcasm)
As Ive said before our judicial system is so f**ked up it really does favor the criminals and they know it. Its really hard to believe this guy might get off better than those two boys that stripped a tree of bark. What a f**ken shame.
How would you like to be his neighbor. That could be a catchy tune….
He’s no Mr. Rodgers
Nice. 2 thirteen year olds will have felony records for tree bark and this guy gets no time for burning down his neighbors house…This I don’t get. I bet the Judge was Colleen Weiland.
@Mary Beth-doesn’t make much sense does it?
You should probably guess again.
I guess that Nichole Bench is Colleen Weiland.
