I like this sentence

[jakncoke]

Theft of 52-cent doughnut. Man faces 30 years to life.

He is accused of shoplifting the pastry in Farmington, Mo., and pushing a store worker trying to stop him. The worker was unhurt. But with that shove, his shoplifting turned into a strong-arm robbery. As a persistent offender, man could face a murderer's term. "I can't believe this crap," he said.

I think we need to do this more often to get more career criminals off the streets.

[furby]

He should be taken to a maximum security prison.

[One-Shot]

ha ha that's awesome, it is excessive but hey that's what you get.

[Vulgotha]

A tad excessive, but I have no issues with it. For every crime, a punishment delivered.

[C.T.E.]

He should have just went all the way and killed the worker. He would be way cooler in prison if he did......

True, nothing good will ever come from being nicknamed the Doughnut in prison

[WonsAuto]

30 years? Our taxes have to pay for him to sit on his ass for a $0.54 donut. Ugh.

[Bansh88]

I guarantee that dude has an extensive criminal history.

There are a lot of these "sob stories" of guys getting big prison sentences for their 3rd Strike. They get 10 years for stealing a piece of pizza and all the leftist liberal cry foul but they forget that the dude has 2 convictions of armed robbery or assault.

Just because he was caught with a minor crime doesnt mean something worse could not happen later.

[WonsAuto]

He d*** well better have had something in mind. Either way, capital punishment is cheaper.

Nah it doesnt beat "Don't tase me bro!"

How silly of me! How could I forget!?

Did you read the whole article ? I assume , NO. Well it states he isn't not a first time offender but a persistent offender...justified punishment IMO

QFT! Very true indeed.

I'm aware that they don't lock people away for 30 years for first-time offenses. I'm just saying that it's excessive.

[jakncoke]

I don't think we should be soft on people that have a long criminal history, but seeing you think 30 is excessive, then what do you think is justified for such a POS member of society

[softtack]

True, nothing good will ever come from being nicknamed the Doughnut in prison

"The Doughnut" should be befriended by a big man in prison. Would do him some good.

Like I said, capital punishment is cheaper.

[Vulgotha]

He d*** well better have had something in mind. Either way, capital punishment is cheaper.

I just now thought of that.


He is now a burden fo the state.....


And I agree, execution IS the best recourse for murderous\violent criminals. Not a Life Sentence.

A glazed doughnut or chocholate? Ok thats enough.

[WonsAuto]

A glazed doughnut or chocholate? Ok thats enough.

Yea, how about you go and sit over THERE now...

[jakncoke]

Like I said, capital punishment is cheaper.

Okay well yeah that cheaper and could be a very good idea seeing I'm pretty sure I read somewhere where almost all our prisons are overpopulated but I doubt that will happen on such a offense

[bobabooy?]

30 years? Our taxes have to pay for him to sit on his ass for a $0.54 donut. Ugh.

Haha yea .. were gonna be wasting more money on him than the amount of the stolen doughnut

[Axe&Hammer]

30 years?

he should be castrated, and then dragged through the streets. Then forced to get a tattoo on his forehead,that says;

"ball-less thief"!!
