There are 2 items in this man’s extensive criminal history spanning 8 years. His crime spree started when he brought a firearm to a school basketball game. Then he terrorized his town by shoplifting. When will it end?
2 crimes, one of which will not even get you arrested nowadays if you take something less that $900.00. Being arrested for shoplifting is hardly a criminal history. Teenage girls do it all the time. Bringing a gun to a basketball game, yes that could be criminal but it is a single incident. When I was a kid people had rifles and shotguns in their pickup trucks in the school parking lot during school and at sporting events.
The only other factors were that a brother and a cousin had encounters with law enforcement, but damn! You can’t be made a criminal just because your brother or cousin did something illegal. If that were the case, I would be in prison for all of the things my brothers did. I am a law-abiding citizen and proudly so. I don’t deserve to be considered a criminal based on my 2 brothers who were well-known to police in my little town.
You sure changed your tune quickly.
There's a lot more on all sides to come out. No reason to rush to judgment.
