LOLO from Palolo…
This is why we have overcrowded prisons!
This is why?
Are you saying because they actually caught a criminal – we have overcrowding because more money is spent on trains to no where then keeping these criminals locked away. Just like the homeless should have to do some menial work for all the benefits they receive, so should prisoners be expected to do labor.
I work three jobs to pay my way. But my taxes take care of these losers that consider jail time as the price of doing business.
This type of crime ruins it for the rest of us. The punishment should be severe.
I bet they knew his address cause the dummy told the cab driver to take him home. LOL.
kokocats yes this is why prisons are overcrowded. klastri you and your bleeding heart friends demand probation for the thieves. When we hard working citizens work endlessly to support our families and to create a decent life.
