No, thirty years for being "arrested more than a dozen times: for being drunk, for shoplifting, for missed court dates, for marijuana possession. He spent most of the 1990s and a stretch from 2000 to 2004 in state prison for the felonies of torching a car to collect insurance and possessing methamphetamine ingredients" AND not getting the message that when you are a two-time loser, you don't get to push people out of the way and take off when you could be charged with ANOTHER misdemeanor for shoplifting. What part of "shoplifters will be prosecuted" doesn't he understand? The jackass still thinks he's entitled to a eensy-weensy bit of crime without losing his freedom for good.
Hopefully, people won't yank the compassion card out. Where's HIS compassion for people who are trying to make a living working at a supermarket? Let him stand as an example to people who refuse to get their schtuff together.
The prosecutor involved would fit right in in a place like Iran where shoplifters get their hands cut off.And here's a bit of advice for you;keep saying to yourself over and over again....."60 cents and a light push".........."60 cents and a light push".....and I'll bet that eventually you'll understand.
