Well, all said and done. But, who knows the individuals needs and whether it was just the need of professional mental and physical heath?
It seems that the older generation is never getting any better and we wonder y the younger generation is bad because they learn from their parents and grandparents
Tim… how much do you think this costs for all the equipment and 10-20 people spend hours there like this. Not to mention, the jailers, the courts, the probation, etc. That cost is huge, and then do you really think these degenerates (your words) would have the means to pay for this?
Well put Tim! Our taxes also contribute to any time they spend in jail. As law abiding citizens, why do we bear the financial burden for the consequences of those that ignore the laws.
Who pays for all this when these degenerates break the law and 10-20 people Spend hours there like this, they should be billed for the time spent dealing with their foolishness, tax payers shouldn’t have to foot the bill!
