I think they should spare no expense at getting to the bottom of this. After all, it's not as if these ducks were unborn children or something.

The reason this crime needs to be solved is that the ducks were the Car Wash owners property. They were pet ducks, what value do you put on a pet? $5000 or $10,000? This is why it is a serious crime, even though it sounds silly at first blush to carry on about some ducks.

This was a case of destruction of someones property.

This is why we have police on the payroll.

Protecting and defending property rights is important.

Furthermore, it is a fact that this type of behavior often leads to evem more grizzly behavior, involving people. This person needs to be tried, convicted, and watched very carefully for the remainder of his life.

"Protecting and defending property rights is important."

I happen to like ducks. And I'm definitely in favor of the police protecting and defending property rights. But it says quite a lot about our culture that the odd destruction of some ducks gets more sympathetic responses than does the ordinary everyday destruction of human lives in abortion mills. Sorry if I can't get real excited about this story.

that man is a monster and it would not surprise me if he came back to finish the job. Where next will he turn his rage? Humans? I hope he doesn't have a wife and kids at his mercy

OK, I will agree that we should investigate based on destruction of private property. As for killing a few ducks...big deal.
