It's a pure shame that with these charges, both of these "non productive" drags on society can't have the thousands of dollars of welfare, food stamps, free medical and everything else us tax payers provide for them cancelled for the rest of their miserable lives.......

Dr. Ding-bat, you're a quack, I suspect that your mother dresses you funny, and if you're anywhere near as old as your picture, I'd thank you and Ayn Rand to kindly stop taking your social security and Medicare benefits out of my checks.

These people deserve due process, as does every accused person. Still, if they're as guilty as the info here and my biases say they look, I can't say I'm not tempted to see what would happen if they were each stuck in a room alone for a few days with nothing but their own thoughts and a sharp object. I'm tempted. They deserve whatever they get for this if they're as guilty as it seems. These two may not be recyclable.

You need to take another look about Social Security. Mine does not come out of your check. It came out of mine and my husbands checks for years and still there isn't enough to live on. Don't you pay in SS out of your pay? No one else pays for it. It is not an entitlement. It is paid for by the sweat off our own backs.

Oh conchopearl, so I guess what your saying is all these bottom feeders that have never worked a day in their life nor the generations of their families before them just get all these freeloader handouts from some magic machine somewhere then huh ?
