You’re in the throes of substance abuse, so that means we can accept your promise to do better. So go in peace, and be sure to write about your progress.
I’ve known people with substance abuse issues.
Zero of them blew up a substation…
We only punish law-abiding citizens these days.
It makes sense, meth-heads want money, but there’s that pesky alarm system in the way. Take out the power, wait for the batteries on the alarm system to die, THEN break in.
He’s from Puyallup. Obviously he is Pu’d up.
Crazy, stupid mistake. And taking into account not just the $3MM dollar value to the utility, but the societal impact, this guy should be doing 15 to 20 years. Not only is it a perfect certainty that several people died because of the failure of electronic medical devices to keep them alive, but certainly another half million or more in food was destroyed from the lack of refrigeration.
WTF, drug use now a Get Out of Jail Free card? Well, that means half or likely three-quarters of our jails can be emptied.
“One of the two men charged with vandalizing electrical substations in Washington state over the holidays to cover a burglary was ordered released from federal custody Friday to seek substance abuse help.”
Idiot judge. Keeping a druggie in jail IS substance abuse help!
Insanity!
A real domestic terrorist gets caught shutting down power to 30,000 people and he gets a “get out of jail free” card...
A Christian praying in front of an abortion mill is classified as a major domestic terrorist and is treated brutally for years...
I’m hoping the substation burhlar shuts down the entire state next time...
Wah! He’s a victim of his drug habit! Now all you people whose power he knocked out, will be paying for his drug rehab stay. Isn’t liberalism wonderful?
DOMESTIC TERRORISM
How is it they are charged with a conspiracy when the guy admits to doing it?
...meanwhile unknown numbers rot in a DC gulag without bail or a trial for walking across the capitol lawn.
