Thrall Pell City, AL	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #1 Jan 27, 2011 Judged: 6 1 1 Let him go! We need more types like this guy, and the crime rate would go down. He did not perpetrate a crime- he was reacting to one. HE'S the victim, and only fighting back- the other jerks are thieves who stole from him. I guess I don't see anything wrong with trying to get one's stuff back.

I guess I don't see anything wrong with trying to get one's stuff back. Not only that, he's rich and he should have a public defender before any lowlife welfare queen. He's the kinda guy who does good for our country by providing jobs. That's what the rich do! They pay more taxes too, so why shouldn't he get what he's already paid for, free legal representation? Listen to my favorite millionaire Rush, he straighten you out, because he's always explaining to us common guys how much we should be doing for him.
Benny Saint Paul, MN	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #5 Jan 27, 2011 Judged: 2 1 1 Sounds to me justice has already been served. They stole from him, he caught them and punished them until they gave his stuff back. They may never steal again. This is effective justice. I hope they are easy on him. Our justice system wouldn't have been a deterrent at all.
NoSht Saint Paul, MN	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #6 Jan 27, 2011 Judged: 1 1 1 Yup - I bet X-Boy and Sparky won't be out stealing sht again in the near future. Now that the lawyers have read this, they will be cirlcing around this guy like vultures. You can bet he won't have anything when they are done.
Curmudgeon Saint Paul, MN	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #7 Jan 27, 2011 Judged: 2 1 1 I don't mind the russki dishing out rough justice, I object to his mindset that he should get stuff for free, afterall mommie and daddy already provided him a very nice lifestyle, I'm sure he "earned" it.

That guys a bad ass and good for him getting his revenge. I agree with Javier when he sad "Now, if the thieves had any dignity whatsoever, they would have kept their mouth shut and took their punishment. "

Daily Horoscope for June 4

Scorpio

Today's Lunar Eclipse at the Full Moon stirs up powerful emotions during the next two weeks (as it has done since the Gemini Solar Eclipse last month), and it may not be a very pleasant experience. Are you feeling rather compulsive and obsessive? Financial issues could be a problem,, especially if they appear to threaten your sense of emotional security. Don't let jealousy or envy make you do things that will set other people against you.
