A man whose burglary of a St. Paul home was foiled by two women and a pink-handled handgun was sentenced Friday, Jan. 4, to nearly 11 years in prison.

Described by his own attorney as a "career criminal," Marty Mark Childs has at least nine prior felony convictions, including residential burglary, theft and attempted escape.

He had been out of prison on a previous burglary sentence less than four months when he walked through an unlocked back door of a house in the 1300 block of Fremont Street on Sept. 16. It was mid-afternoon, and Rebecca Larson, 56, was in the driveway washing her car.

Not just Minnesota, but Minneapolis-St. Paul. I figure he’ll be out in another four months.

Yep, definitely a Glock.
You can see the logo on the business end.

The trigger guard is distinctly Glock.

All I see is the wicked paint job.

;D

[humblegunner]

Nah. No way.

Really?

Firefox blew itself up with the last “update”.

Worked great for everything but internet browsing.

Chrome took some getting used to but now it just feels normal.

“This is MN- he’ll be on parole in a few years.”

That’s true in every state unfortunately. If you’ve caught them in the house and have the drop on them, pull the trigger

That’s just *weird*!

NINE prior felony convictions? What is he doing out on the streets?

Part of the problem: "Childs pleaded guilty Oct. 2 to first-degree burglary. A second charge of first-degree burglary was dropped at sentencing as part of the plea deal."
Why the Hell did they give him a plea deal when they had him cold?

"Ramsey County District Judge Salvador Rosas gave Childs credit for 111 days served in jail and ordered him to have no contact with the victims."
And if he disobeys, the judge will taunt him a second time.

“could be both...see 11”

Actually, I checked the original article. The guy’s picture is in it. He’s one of “Holders’ People.” So I guess that makes him “Amish,” right?

IIRC, MN is near the bottom of the 57 states in incarceration to parole ratio.

That’s not mine.

I posted in Comic Sans MS font and I think that’s Times New Roman.
