Just saw this on the news.


Police: Man punched Home Depot cashier in the face in Wake Forest | abc11.com


He's been arrested 35 times. The guy is only 31 years old.



In 2005 he was arrested and charged with first-degree murder accessory after the fact in the shooting death of a Bunn High School athlete during a house party.

For that crime, records show he was sentenced in December of 2007 and served 1,061 days before being paroled. Since then, he's been arrested 19 more times, including this latest arrest in Wake Forest


This sounds like one of those math mind-benders...If criminal X is 31 years old, and he has been arrested 35 times to date. With 1 arrest serving 1,061 days, and then arrested 19 more times after that, including this latest arrest. How many arrests did he have prior to being charged with FDMA?



It amazes me how people can just keep getting a get out of jail card so easily.

How hard do you have to hit someone to put them in critical condition with just one punch?

How does a man get little less then 3 years in prison for first-degree murder accessory? This is the problem with our justice system news media needs to find out how this guy was let off with such a light sentence he is obviously a violent criminal with a screw lose in his head needs to be locked up.

Sucker punch to the right place can cause brain bruising. I knew someone who got punched in the eye almost lost his eye cracked his eye socket.

Story on his murder charge says he fired an AK-47 into a crowed of people. http://www.wral.com/news/local/story/115056/

Light sentences are due to prison overcrowding. That is one of the big reasons for the decriminization for marijuana possession. Those opposed to these new laws never seemed to get it that people like this, not pot heads, are the people who should be in jail.


What a total POS this guy is, let's all hope the cashier ends up OK

This is why some states have the three strikes and you are out law. This clown does not belong out walking free in public.

People who can not fit themselves into society without causing serious harm to others, should not be walking around in society. There is something wrong with this guy's wiring. I think he should be executed and be done with it, but at least confine him to limit the damage he does.

I support decriminalization, but I don't think there are that many people serving time for simple MJ possession anymore. This "Gentle Giant" was cut loose by parole boards who just want to keep the line moving and clear the day's agenda, without concern about what happens to everybody else.

It's time to close down our prisons and jails, and build "an island" in the middle of the ocean. Nothing fancy. A few shade trees and several crates of garden tools and vegetable seeds. We'll helicopter people like him in, and drop him onto the island, a place of no return. No need for taxpayers to feed and cloth him on the island. He will survive (or not) on his own resourcefulness. Let him build his own shelter, plant the seeds and harvest his own bounty. The trees we plant there will have gigantic leaves (clothing) and vines (rope). Some of the bushes will have medicinal proprieties. If the taxpayers are in a good mood they will supply a couple of gardening books, some knives and fishing hooks, and some cast iron cooking pots to the island. We'll make it a firm rule to replace those things only once every ten years.

If any of the "islanders" drown while trying to escape... oh, well. Maybe we'll keep a couple of jails for the first offenders, but those who offend a second time get a first class ticket out!.
