Election Day Tire Slashers Sentenced in Milwaukee
I commend Judge Brennan for his actions, but I've never thought that highly of him. But Milwaukee Judge Christ T. Seraphim was a jerk.
What, you drive one of those demon SUVs?
How do you live with yourself?
What do your friends say?

I'm just surprised a judge in liberal Milwaukee sentenced them to any time whatsoever.
4-6 months ?
they got off pretty lucky, I wonder what the max could be ?
Not only do a drive a DEMON SUV; there's a loaded .357 in its glove compartment. I've been warned that the SUV and the .357 might conspire to go out and murder a whole school yard full of innocent children, so I have to watch them constantly.

Thanks for posting it.
9 months and a $10,000 fine...unless they were conservatives engaged in violating the voting rights of a minority.......that's a hanging offense and good for a year's front page news.....
