This guy get 3 years for stealing some gas and a lady who steals over $100,000 from a church walks with a slap on the wrist as does our governor who stole hundreds of thousands from WE THE PEOPLE OF IL! GO Figure!!!

I am not saying the guy shouldn't go un punished or anything...don't get me wrong. However, maybe rehab would have suited him better. He had a bad problem. The fact of the matter is, that lady and the other guy who both stole from their churches had worse problems and stole a whole lot more and walked away. As for our late govenor...For shame on him..

I agree 100% Capricorn.
Those people who stole didn't face ANY jail time.
I know Brandon and he has a problem. He has made some very bad choices.
He is a good guy that needs some direction.
He recently had some hardships in his personal life and went off the deep end.
Some people deal with it by being depressed, some people just lose their sense of boundries.
