He deserves to rot in prison.
Could he be the same guy who tried to kidnap the girl in Concord the other day?
Was thinking the same thing, sounds like he’s been in jail since mid April though.
Good job LE! …. now Becton do yours and stop the revolving door!
This guy is a POS. Throw the book at him.
Also, be consistent on releasing photos of the perps. It appears that some with more melanin in their skin don’t make the cut.
Simple solution to these dirtbags who hurt children and it comes in the form of 9mm, .40 S&W, .45 ACP, .223, etc, whatever is on sale, readily available and on hand is fine!
How about we not play judge dredd. Live with the presumption of innocence until proven guilty in a court of law. And let things play out the way they’re supposed to. If he’s found guilty then he should be buried under the jail.
You sounds like an apologist to scum of the earth. I specifically said “dirt bags who hurt children”, that would mean that the proper evidence and fair trial is complete and then you take care of the problem so that there’s no such thing as “reoffending”.
Lock him up and let the prisoners take care of the situation.
They don’t always take care of the problem but life in prison is a good start!
Mr Roller
Your solution is a little bit quick…
I started to write out detailed method of erasing this person from existence. After reviewing my words, I realized I am a pretty demented individual . ✂️😫
So a kinetic solution would be acceptable to me as well…..
I’m with you it could be quick but you could also start at the less vital areas and wait days in between before moving forward if you catch my drift lol
Bubba and Rocco are anxiously awaiting his arrival at San Quenton.
Transient. Of course.
That’s what you get when you ring the dinner bell for the “unhoused”. The outdoor mental ward is working swimmingly.
I feel like you may not have thought your comment through before posting it. How is “that what you get”… considering that IF you hypothetically made all homeless people disappear overnight, it would have no affect on the rates of crimes against children?
The thing you may have overlooked is that the great majority of people committing or attempting to commit crimes against children live in houses.
And I will add that a large percentage are family or friends of the family.
