Come on...... even for the sake of argument, do you seriously believe this or anyone like him earns “wages”?
If he was in jail, he would be missing out on penny-anty drug dealing and petty theft.
The purpose of jailing is “punishment” remember? The goal of “punishment” is to what? Get the perp to change is bad habits, like paying his frigging child support instead of buying an old MB.
If anyone even an upstanding citizen that gave a fake ID, ran, fought the cop, grabbed cop’s taser, tased cop, then took off running again, we too would get shot. As it should be.
The article says the guy had a good job and he lost it when they arrested him for not paying child support. He wasn’t able to get a decent job after that. I know people who have been through this. Actually, they never get through it. He’s probably so far in debt, he doesn’t care anymore. This stuff really happens. Yeh, he probably is making money off the record someway, but you don’t know how he’s doing it.
