Let's send a message to scum like this guy. Give him the maximum sentence possible. Make an example out of him!! Need money? Go out and work you lazy bum!

[HereWeGo]

Let's sell him for scrap to pay for the court proceedings.

[Tim]

Let's see $75,000 bail if you molest kids. $500,000 bail if you steal rusty old gaits.

Tim, are you one of his accomplice? Why do you care what happen to the criminal?

Bond level often depends on your prior record.

I say, seal his ass in one of the few vacant crypts inside. Bury the bastard alive.

[CHUCKO]

So they caught this gouhl who would steal from a place of honor and peace. He ought to be given the maximum sentence, plus public caning, and tasering. Humiliate this thief!

Hey, people. Can you believe that this low-life scum has children ?? AND he'll get along just fine in jail/prison because he also likes guys. Please don't get the idea that I know him, because I don't....but back about 10 years ago, I knew some people who did. He was short, fat, and very strange. What a loser. I'm sure his mother must be very proud. Put him in a cell and throw away the key. And I'm so thrilled to know that our tax dollars will be keeping him, and probably his children. How nice.

[Shaking my head]

The SOB that stole the bronze gates should be forced to pay for the reproduction and installation of duplicates. He is nothing but a common vandal and thief!

I agree maybe the penalties and bail should be the same but.........this scum bag apparently is notorious for other things and probably would not show up if released on bond. Bond isn't a punishment for a accused crime is it??????????

Its not just the gates, it is stealing the metal off of bridges, wire from electricity grids, that supply hospitals, and us. If you haven't noticed, the theft of these metals is huge. Try looking at the big picture. Stop running with the pack.
