  1. Dopers, and they are cretins.
    If he would have plied his trade in Huntley the chances are he
    wouldn’t have been caught.
    The HPD is too busy with “revenue enhancement” activities
    to bother with such petty crimes, if you get my drift.

  2. Part of the problem is the judges who allow sweetheart deals for certain villains.
    Just like the admitted murderer who was allowed to walk and continue with his criminal behavior. He stole and sold firearms that hopefully were not used to harm anyone. When back in court, the judge called him by his first name like they were old friends. I wonder what his victims thought of that.
