[In New Mexico. Can you believe it?]

Are you shocked that he got 8 years? Or ONLY 8 years?

Not quite sure what you mean by [In New Mexico. Can you believe it?] or “Wake up New Mexico!”

That he got eight years.

I love animals but this is over the top.

The town of Aztec contains a bit of human trash.

When driving to the awesome ruins there, you gotta go right past a depressed, run down area. Wierd.

And would using an axe to behead chickens be considered cruelty to animals?
If so then I’m guilty thereof... will I get time added on to my sentence for freezing their corpses in my freezer and then, at some later date, cooking them and eating them?

OK, then.

This artilce (kinda/sorta) justifies why he killed the dog....

But to do it with a chainsaw???

Yeah. He should go to jail. But he’ll be out in less than 2 years.

It’s a lot compared to what may be handed out for other crimes against people, but i have no problem with it. We just need to increase the punishment for other crimes.

No these idiots should have contacted the authorities and properly dealt with this animal.

I guess his prior criminal history plays a part in that.

Does New Mexico have the "three strikes" law?

Or would this even apply, I wonder?

Illegals wander the streets and this man killed a dog?

How about the trash that tried to rob me in ABQ?

Or the illegal that tried to pan handled me in a very good hotel at urinal?

Some parts of the wild west are still wild.

Next time decapitate one of the kids. It’ll upset the animal lovers less and you’ll be out of jail quicker.

You get 7 years for stuffing your wife’s body in a suitcase in CT.

Does New Mexico have the "three strikes" law? Yeah but it's way weak. Pretty much a non-issue.

If it had been his wife, he’d get less. Laura Ingraham had a story this morning about a guy who killed his wife and put her in a suitcase; he got 7 years (in Virginia).
