The police should save some trouble by keeping an eye on his yard now- just a matter of time until hookers and runaways are buried there.
“I hope his victims can at least sue his @ss in civil court.
That’s what I would do”
No doubt like the criminal justice system, Go Fund Me will gladly look the other way as Leftist raise hundred of thousands for this POS Civil Liability Trial.

Wow
You can do something like that and only get probation?

Nope. Pretty good, but you don’t get a book written for you!
Mr. Ayers, mentor of Obama.
In case anyone has not already noticed, real Americans will not receive justice in Berkeley's court system. One way or another, whether through federal charges (they have done it against cops when they thought local courts had failed) or other means, decent people have a responsibility to protect the innocent by ensuring that justice is delivered against the guilty. This thug is definitely guilty.
I’m a big fan of that guy!
EXACTLY
Heh...you have to be a longtime FReeper to appreciate that joke!!
Thanks. I’ll sleep a little better tonight.

was he fired?
Sounds like the prosecution and the judge were on Clanton's side.
Once again, a leftist judge letting a criminal leftist go with a slap on the wrist. I no longer trust people in government.

Some people would be greatly improved by death.....(Reading a Heinlein book and he prefaces every chapter with a “quote” or more)....
