1. How did they figure out he drove the truck? nt

nt

[Lone_Star_Dem]

3. I think the police caught him down the road from there

He was the guy with the flat tire with the cross sticking out of it.

[StefanX]

35. Love your sig picture!

Took me a minute to "get" it!

[Cocoa]

4. found pieces of the crosses under his car

:rofl:

[Eric J in MN]

9. Thanks (nt)

[onehandle]

7. Crosses were caught in the undercarriage of his truck.

They caught the Freeper immediately afterwards.

The idiot.

[TomInTib]

15. Ironically, it was one of the crosses that

flattened a tire on the idiot's truck.
That's why they were able to apprehend him so quickly.

[kestrel91316]

22. Poetic justice strikes again.

[FreedomAngel82]

26. I guess in some ways you could say

that it was God getting him his justice. ;)

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

34. Wow! Any way to know WHAT name was in it?

Striking back from the grave! Take THAT!

[Cocoa]

2. Sheehan not pressing charges

good move, imo.

Restraining order instead. No vindictiveness, just self-protection...

She said protesters would ask for a restraining order to keep Northern away from their camp.

[onehandle]

11. They should send the fucker to Iraq.

She's too damn good to even concern herself with this ass.

[Maru Kitteh]

24. YES! We should send him some apps from Hally-Bur-Tun

or just submit them for him? It would be a BLAST filling out his application for him. :evilgrin:

[walldude]

19. She is nothing short of incredible....

Hey Freeps! I bet you think Michael Moore told her not to press charges right?

[bullimiami]

21. criminal charges are prosecuted by the government not individuals

her desire to 'press' charges should be irrelevant, it is a decision for the DA and law enforcement.

[Olney Blue]

5. Looks like he's already in an orange jumpsuit. n/t

[GRLMGC]

6. Man

If I saw him walking down the street, not knowing his record of assholetry, I'd know he was a right-winger.

[The Backlash Cometh]

10. My thoughts exactly.

[Canuckistanian]

16. LOL! Nominated for the word of the year!

"Assholetry"!

[GRLMGC]

18. hahaha nt

[MoJoWorkin]

20. I second that nomination---best laugh I have had all day ! n/t

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[jobycom]

17. Everybody looks that way in a mug shot

Not a moment that usually brings out the best in you.

[davidinalameda]

8. goes to show you what a good person she is

I'd lock the freaking door on the bastard personally

[FreedomAngel82]

27. That's true

She has such a wonderful heart. :loveya:

[cureautismnow]

12. The Judge Should Have Set Bail at $100K...

... or $5K for every cross destroyed! Hit the money-grubbing ignoramuses where it hurts the most. :mad:

[Botany]

13. Another wacko from Waco!

"I will show em that protesting is un-American. Free speech and the
right to assemble what kind of crap is that?"

this is what listening to rush will do to you.

[ZinZen]

14. What a hateful person

[tyedyeto]

23. Misdemeanor??

For desecrataion of our troops and our flag?


ooops...typo

[lonestarnot]

28. Hey... shouldn't the new flag burning / intentional and willful

destruction of a flag apply?

[tyedyeto]

30. That is what the Thugs want to pass in Congress

let's have a test case now!

But to me, destroying the crosses and stars of david at Arlington West in Crawford are more of a hate crime than flag destruction.

[lonestarnot]

31. Throw all of them at him and use whatever sticks! Bury the bitch!

[FreedomAngel82]

25. Wow

That's all I have to say.

[CrazyForKucinich]

29. His sentence should be to replace all the damage he caused

Including the cost of the flags and crosses and writing the names on the crosses.

That is good enough for me. Maybe then he will appreciate what he destroyed.

[Ladyhawk]

32. I'm glad it's a felony. Bastard. n/t

[Wizard777]

33. But he hasn't been charged w/ hit & run involving property damage.

Texas is notoriously bad for enforcing traffic laws. Just ask that High School Football Star Laura killed. Maybe they will get him elected to office so he has to ride in Limo's instead of driving.

[tibbir]

36. He is such a low life.

I hope he's convicted of 4th degree felony or even a class A misdemeanor. Even if his penalty is a slap on the hand, onvictions at that level matter when you're being evaluated for a new job, apartment, etc.

[rumpel]

37. At his age one would hope for a little more common sense...karma
