Read this story, and I cannot believe how dishonest some are.

"We thought the bike was of no use to anybody" that's why we too it even though Marks used wire cutters to free it. Huh? A bike locked up is abandoned?

why aren't the police prosecuting? so that they don't discourage future criminals who may have evidence, from coming forward?

lest these two be considered "good guys" remember that they lawyered up first and it was their lawyer who instructed they go to the police. |

As for going to a lawyer ... that was a smart move, considering they knew they had committed petty larceny. I'd probably have gone to a lawyer too if I knew I'd committed a crime. As I said, I'm not defending these two. It was a stupid thing to do. But prosecuting isn't going to do any good or bring any justice. It just sounds like a page out of MikeWaters-style vindictiveness to me. PS. It's too bad the guy wasn't a BYU football player. Then he'd have lots of support, eh? |

I get punished for going 7 MPH over the speed limit, and this guy gets nothing for cutting a lock and stealing a bike?
What kind of world do you live in Tex? |

I read somewhere that the kids said both of the bike tires were flat, and it looked like it had been there for a while and abandoned.
Personally I think it was a stupid decision on their part to take the bike, but how many of us did some stupid regrettable things when we were 17-19? Only difference is that our mistakes didn't make the papers. |
