REGARDING:
“I don’t condone what was done but don’t bring my parents into this at all. ”

So he was taught but didn’t learn or didn’t care. Fine by me.
(Assuming he’s guilty, which I don’t know just as I don‘t know him or his parents off hand, nor do I know how he was taught or what examples he had.)

As I said, I don’t know but it’s a reasonable question. Some are taught by their parents that stealing is okay as long as you get away with it. Some are taught it’s okay to steal from certain people or groups of people. Some aren’t taught that it’s okay but also aren’t taught it’s wrong and not to be done. Look at some of the people who justify crimes by saying, “Maybe he needed the money,“ or, “Well he only robbed a rich farmer,” or “Well, these are hard times so maybe he had to do it.”

I’m glad he wasn’t one of those and wasn’t raised that way. Even so, I bet some parents wonder what they could have done differently to better drive home the point some things simply aren’t to be done. In fact, I know that some of the best parents are tortured by the question of whether or not they are doing it right or where they failed.

Thieves and other criminals DO bring shame on their parents. It is part of the harm they do. People should know that too. No man is an island, only hurting himself.

My brother was taught by my parents Mr. Green, I don’t condone what was done but don’t bring my parents into this at all. My parents taught us right from wrong it is up to us on what we do with it!

Let’s see, if he did what he is accused of doing, he stole money from his sister-in-law and stole working equipment from someone who needed it to earn a living.

Maybe he needed the money he stole. Whoopee!

Maybe those robbed needed it too. Even if they didn’t need it, most of us don’t like to be robbed. He doesn’t seem to be following the Golden Rule. I wonder if he was taught but ignored what he learned or if he was never taught.

Yes it’s wrong ,and none of us is without guilt . We have all broke the law, and we got many chances but we also payed the price. Who knows this could Chang his life ? But I must add ,one day we will all take from each other to servive. We all needed chances to get it right, Remember?

This is directed at those who care to defend this guy. How would you feel if that was your account or your property? You are assuming and mistrusting the law and that speaks mutitudes about your values and standards. Wake up people there is a right and a wrong it is described to us by the law as we the people have put those measures in place to protect us from ourselves and each other. You can not justify wrong doing. It is definately headed in the right direction and that is to court. The law enforcement has done it’s job by arresting him and documenting what he did now let the jury decide.
Sick of listening to lame excuses for people who are possibily doing things they should not have.
Just saying!

Odd so many people do not have “spell check” on their system. It’s like the comments made about the four people who were arrested a few days ago for breaking into a store. Their spelling was some of the worse I’ve seen.

Don’t come on here defending a criminal, you’re insulting the majority of law-abiding citizens.

Save your misplaced grandstanding for the courtroom where a real judge can find you in real contempt of court.

So there is video proof of him using someone else’s credit card without permission, yet we don’t know the whole story? What else would we need to know?
