I wonder where in the world the parents were in these cases where the child had no attorney. A minor is not competent to refuse or waive an attorney on his or her own anyway.
ReplyDeleteI'm afraid a few years of prison is much too good for these evil people.
We will begin again to have justice when these cretins are hung from every available lamp post and tree...

ReplyDeleteI am not surprised. I am surprised that these sonsofbitches are still alive, same goes for their paymasters.
They have no idea how lucky they are none of mine were caught up in this. However, that does not mean I am unwilling to be part of the harsh solution on behalf of others. When they have had enough.

ReplyDeleteJustice will come, when we finally restore the Constitutional Republic.
Based on that news report, 7 years of prison is way too short. What they committed was kidnapping, abduction, and holding people against their will. That is a gallows-worthy crime.
