Man Faces 77 Years in Prison For Stealing $.50 Pack of Donuts

Ridiculous. What a completely ridiculous law.

 

Amazing how they'd do this over past criminal act and a third strike law.

What the hell has our government come to. LOL

 

The 3-strike law is a load of bull. When it comes to jail sentences, they should consider quality over quantity instead of the other way around. Now this man is going to rot away just for taking donuts? What the hell? It's a half a dollar pack of donuts, for Pete's sake.

 

I said it before, I'll say it again: Our government at it's finest, ladies and gentlemen!

 

Wow...this is totally ******ed. This law is a bunch of bull...

And that district attourney is a total jerk...

 

77 years?
why dont they just say "your gonna die here"

american goverment is wack
they need to chill, give the guy a break

 

Well, if it's true that he's been committing several other unlawful acts "recently" and has been simply overlooked all those times, he should be punished in some way this time--although by that I'm thinking more community service.

77 years is just lol.

 

77 Years...someone just give the store 50 cents or whatever. wow. It does seem the guy was doing other petty crimes though and was caught and let off with misdemeanors which are slaps on the wrist, before he decided to do this, but yeah, this seems very extreme. We have rapists and killers that get out before 20 years. I really do think we need to start analyzing the law a bit more sometimes. I see why the DA is pushing for some kind of punishment here, because it's obvious the guy is stealing and getting caught, but at the same time, 77 years ...I'd say if he's got a few charges that were dropped etc, maybe a few months in jail would teach him to stop. Just wow though.

 

...

Okay, there is something very wrong with picture. The United States locks away a guy who stole a pack of donuts for 77 years whereas rapists/pedophiles get locked away for like 20.

...something is wrong with this system.

 

Couldn't they have asked him to just pay the 50 cents? Oo;

I mean it would be easier than bothering with court dates and all that jazz.

 

i agree... i personally think that all governments are stupid in their own ways

 

this is really sad and pathetic. wow 50 cents BIG DEAL!

 

yeah another thing that is wrong iwth the govemenment pay the store 50 cents another thing i would change if i could

 

So what a guy can rape someone and then murder someone else and won't be in jail? But if they happen to steal a pie that's when they take action?

I'm sorry but they should stop and sentence someone after the first offense not just after three. It's like going. It's ok to murder 2 people but when it gets to 3, no.

 

What's more ridiculous is the insanely low price of those donuts.
WOW. Didn't know they were that cheap anymore!

No, I JK...
But really, what is up with that. I can't even really believe it's for realz.
Sucks for the poor guy. Imagine, you can get less time for rape/murder than you would for stealing .50 cents worth of donuts. Welcome to America guys... ;_;

 

That is just crazy! Just a .50 cent pack of donuts for 77 years O.o;

thats seems fair >:/

 

Cupcake...that actually seems fair?...wow...

and yeah..America is f*cked up nowadays..

 

My issue with this is that the guy apparently did two other things that were far worse and got off with a slap on the wrist...and now for a pack of donuts he gets it. It seems like people just wanted to put this guy away for the other two things and did not. California needs to look over its laws again. This is not the same policy in all states and we can now see why. Very lame.

 

It's sarcasm darlink~

Good points Repliku (lol no surprise there!!)

 

Yeah, it's stupid, but if you think about it....America has an obesity problem. Don't you think they should punish the guy for the donuts? [/sarcasm]


77 years.....U.S., that was an EPIC fail.
