Before white washing this guy, read his FULL tap sheet. I say leave in for 5 full years. If he had wrecked and killed someone with no insurance,how would you feel if it was your love one killed. By the way, he was released same day on $2k bond.

Let’s keep this simple:

Show me a person who has appeared in front of a judge 1 time…
and I’ll show you someone with a history of bad decisions, who deserves to be in front of a judge.

Show me a person who has “repeat offender” as a charge,
and I’ll show you someone who has no regard for authority or the law.

The real question is whether you believe humans by nature are basically good, or basically evil.

If you believe they are basically good, there must be some reason that is causing his behavior, fix the reason, you fix the behavior.
If you believe people are basically evil, then he chose this path, and the behavior will continue until he is stopped or until it becomes too painful for him to continue as he is.

“Repeat offender” places him firmly in the 2nd category.

I have known Yancey since high school and still see him around when he is not locked up. I like him and consider him an old friend. I think he is genuinely honest. And a hard worker, But his circumstances forces him to break the law to earn a living. He is also a bit on the crazy side, Not harmful crazy, But just not quite right. He has also stated he was not afraid of jail. I think he kind of liked it. What does that say about our judicial system? Revolving door prisons are the burden of tax payer dollars. We should have a combination of hard core punishment such as old school chain gangs and reform programs which could include the ability to obtain an affordable drivers license upon release. Providing they are not habitual DUI offenders.

Thank you Paul you said it all.
Can’t see how somebody with this long of a record can still be a good man. “He couldn’t pay the fine ” listen up cupcake, fines are for law breakers don’t break the law don’t get fines,simple. Good men do there absolute best not to do this, hence a good man. Ignorant people break the law = a bad guy. Yes you may have bad luck, and it might get you down, but the decisions we make form us into the people that we are. Learn to make better decisions.

I have known Yancey for quit a long time. He does not have bad luck, just stupid decisions. They are no longer mistakes, they are habits. I have lost contact with him and he used to be a good guy that would not hurt anybody. Seems times have changed when you fight the police, which is always a losing battle. Next time he might try and take it the the next level and get himself shot. I hope he will get his life straight, for his sake and nobody else’s. I will pray for you my lost friend.

Passover is just around the corner and I hope that the judge decides to free Mr Thompson, as he is not a malevolent sort.

Give Us Yancy!

A good man? Your definition of a good man is against the norm of society then since “good men” don’t normally achieve a driving status of “habitual offender” which is an automatic felony and state prison time. Good men also aren’t in possession of drugs, weapons or attempt to run over a cop. So this is the type of guy you would let date your daughter huh? Well, in my world where I have values and respect for law enforcement, if this guy came around my daughter, he would have a series of issues to deal with. So keep coddling this sorry individual, give him a trophy for finishing last place in life, maybe have a cry-in at your house. While you’re at it, give him a big hug and tell him good bye for many years as he takes a bus ride to a state prison.

Some people have a warped view of what good is looking over this guy’s public track record. A mistake I can understand, but it is mistake after mistake for years, that is not “good” or being a “good man” I am sorry to tell you and you will never convince me otherwise. We can judge as long as it is a righteous judgment, that is how good people avoid getting wrapped up into an evil doers sins. God bless.

Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!

I know Yanchy. They are right. He IS a good guy. Just a series of circumstances coupled with bad luck. He wouldn’t harm a fly. Once you get in trouble, it is hard to stay out of trouble.

some people dont know what its like to be down on your luck. i know alot of people with families that dont have a drivers license just because the fines they cant pay.how can you go to work if you dont have a license sometimes.you always hear people say bad things about people but rare do you hear people say good things. i dont know the man but he might be one of those that made a mistake in life.
