Are you kidding?!?!? Only $10,000. bond??? If all of this crap is true, this nasty thing should be held without the possibility of bail!!!
There have been countless people who never hurt anyone, but maybe did something foolish with way higher bonds. What the hell? and this is the 2nd time!!!

You are an idiot for saying this. "Breaking The law"??? What do you even mean by this?

You are so right. One has to see it in action to believe it.

I'm so sorry for you. Your son probably never deserved jail in the first place. It's just the system that we have. I have three sons, and it is hard to believe how easy it is to get caught up in this ridiculous system. The sad part is that it seems the true violent predators are treated most lenient!

This is nice and all, but the damage has been done when young people are charged -- very often needlessly with "crimes" as they are called, even though this person may not have hurt anyone. I'm tired of hearing every other young person I work with tell me they have a "felony" charge. "Felony" means NOTHING anymore - if it ever did. The ignorance of people out there in hiring positions have no idea that very often, being a so called "felon" means absolutely nothing. Many investigators and bad D.A.s will "create" crimes just so they have more convictions. So, a young person gets into trouble for something minor, They may just decide to use that one person (actually a victim of the system) as an example of how much twisted power they have. So, these after the fact programs are good because otherwise there would be nothing, but still, the damage has been done. This is where we need to put the change. A program that helps people get a lame job only helps so much. Their names have been destroyed by media and the system.

I sure wish these stupid cases would quit going anywhere. When are these "officials" going to focus on real crimes?
Put away the pedophiles and murderers - not 25 year olds who made some money selling ecstasy.

After seeing for myself over the past 20 years how Boulder convicts young people of horrendous crimes that they often just DID NOT commit, I have NO faith in their judgement. Even though the most corrupt, attention seeking D.A. Amy Okubo was forced to leave the courts, does not mean that everything is fair and "just" now.
I can't believe what pathetic jurors we end up with so often - listening to the prosecutor's STORY - ( not evidence, not proof ) - STORY!!!, and soaking it all up - taking it IN - as if the word!!!! Please use your brains and your hearts, and your compassion when being a juror!!!!! Don't be lazy because you are angry that you are giving your time without monetary compensation, or because you'd rather be doing something else. Take the time to make a really sensible decision, because you are literally determining the rest of the defendant's life. I do not know this man from anything, but I do know numerous young people who's lives have been DESTROYED by this ridiculous system of the courts. The fact that he supposedly has past "felonies" doesn't mean a _______ thing these days because "felonies" are handed out like tickets - deserved or not. Perhaps this man committed this crime,( though the evidence and proof is just lacking. ) All I know for a fact is that Amy Okubo deliberately tried to convict young people of crimes that DID NOT HAPPEN just to look good for herself, because the more convictions they have under their fat bellies - the better they look in their world. Prison does not help anyone. The truth is that SOME belong there because they are such a danger to society there just isn't an alternative, but if I were to guess, 80% of the humans in there shouldn't be in there. The truth is, we have a very poor and broken system filled with big sick egos and very little human compassion. So, someone is "found" guilty. They are punished in our system in such a way that life will always be extremely difficult for them. Slapped with "felony " charges left and right, face and name all over google, FOREVER. Should they regret what they did, be truly sorry for what they did, wish to reform, or never did what they were accused of - it doesn't MATTER! - because their face, their name, their lives has been destroyed through the news and law and media. Narrow thinking and judgement will only come back tenfold to those who impose it.
I am so saddened to see every day young people struggling to make it because they were slapped with charges and labels for something where there was no true harm done to anyone, just something stupid perhaps that they did, almost always at a young age. They can't get jobs because they are a "FELON" !! What the _____ meaning does this even have anymore???? Getting back to this story at hand, if this man did commit this awful crime he is accused, yes he needs punishment, because he has had a lot of years to receive compassion, and if he is truly guilty he needs punishment now, but I sure don't have faith in this system and chosen jurors to figure it all out. I hope some higher power can intervene on this one and EVERY future case determining the LIFE of the accused.

This is so sad to me. I used to see these cute little donkeys every week when I drove through for work. These are the kind of horrible people I wish we would hear got caught. (Not some stupid needless arrest that is so often blasted everywhere in the news.) This is truly cruel and evil, deliberate behavior. I would love to be more optimistic, but it's creeps like this the cops never "seem" to be able to identify.
If it were my donkey, I would do my own investigating.
I am so sorry for the lone donkey and the owners. :^(

Actually, they hunt alone, but they don't hang out alone, and when they congregate, the word used is "pride" whether African or American.
Maybe you should look stuff up. I was born and raised 14 years in Tanzania.

And how often did lions cruise through town prior to this STUPID ------- collaring practice?? They didn't. These so called "wildlife officials" are doing nothing but harm to these beautiful creatures as well as many others. Like nosy pigs, they just cant leave things be. What a shame. It's these people you need to fear. Not the lions. There is nothing we don't know about their habits that we need to know. We've figured it all out at least 100 years ago - but how else to create needless jobs that pay well??
