but, you gotta give him points for not harming anyone. What he did was bad enough, but he didn’t beat up or shoot anyone in the process. Can’t say much for his planning strategy, though.
$1000 unarmed < yearly cost of incarceration $19469 X 15 years minimum sentence.
Need to give him the stupidity award and frame it,and give it to him to hang on his cell wall…..
