Homeless man gets 15 years for stealing $100

[brooklynnyc3000]

The judge is effin cruel man. 15 years just for a 100 dollars?

He gave the money back, he had a good heart. He could have robbed the bank for a lot more and from the looks of it
he would have gotten away, but he chose to come back and turned himself in. At lease give him # hours of community serviced.

sad and true
but the teller gave the man some stacks and he took a 100

, one year just for stupidity

From the side he kinda looks like a young Greg Oden.

Could have been a law like the Cali 3 strikes rule. Armed robbery is also a felony. Although he did not have a gun, the threat of a gun - holding his handbehind his jacket - is the definition of assault. Law was obeyed...but it is a pretty ridiculous law.

This is why America is in a recession

One in every 31 adults, or 7.3 million Americans, is in prison, on parole or probation, at a cost to the states of $47 billion in 2008, according to a newstudy.

A survey of 34 states found that states spent an average of $29,000 a year on prisoners

Those talkin bout he'd prolly be "better off" in jail must have not ever been locked up.. that is not whats up at all my dude.


What the hell they expect him to do when he's gettin out at 65+ years old? They just took his life for $100 is how I see it, but thats the world we livein.

 

[kidcloudkicker]

good for the homeless dude. he wont be homeless no more lol. 3 squares a day etc.

 

[superblytrife]

I'm pretty sure dude isn't happy he's about to be locked up for a maximum of 15 years, regardless of the food, clothing and shelter.

If this situation doesn't scream "diversion", I don't know what does. A guy robs a bank for $100--obviously he isn't in it for the moneyand glory. Clearly he's doing it because he thinks he needs that $100 to survive another day.

And the fact this occurred in the South doesn't surprise me at all. The South ftl when it comes to dudes in prison who don't need to be there."Conservative values" at work, no doubt.

i fail to see why people say it's better than being in the streets.

 

[dearwinter219]

3 hots and a cot for $100. Not bad..... it's not like freedom was working out for him. Just kidding. What a story though

wow, that's sad; dude just wanted help and a meal. for a so-called "christian" nation, we've !%#!+% up pretty bad.

who told you that BS? This country is supposed to be open to ALL faiths, remember?

 

[10508 cardo jr ln]

This story really makes me angry, on some Andy Dufresne type

rape, domestic abuse, animal cruelty, DUI, manslaughter from DUI.... so many others out there that get NO time at all....

even female "masked robbers" that ive seen that eventually got caught almost got no time... What he did was wrong, but the punishment should be equalto like crimes around the nation. the judge needs to get fired
