This judge seems to have no problem sending out the message that stealing others property is a safe occupation, and that recidivist criminals like this "victim" don't belong in jail until they are too old and feeble to pose a threat.
If there has ever been a better case for jury nullification, I've not seen it. They should have given this guy the "Saving taxpayer dollars and eliminating from society someone we who really should have been locked up in the first place" medal.

Does anyone know the address of this judge? If he thinks that defending your property is not acceptable behavior, perhaps he would change his mind if a bunch of these 50+ arrests types showed up on his property. OTOH, I'm sure he could get the police to guard his property, unlike the average citizen.
