This is pretty much a shitty situation. You dont want to spend tax money on a turd like this, but you cannot just ignore his history and let it pass.
so, for 1 dollar the state's going to flip the bill on a 5 year prison sentence that will cost well into the thousands?
And people still fail to see why the 3 strike plan doesn't work.
As I already said, you spend more money constantly putting someone in jail than you do if you just send them through a detox and rehab program. If you just throw him jail for 5 years, he won't learn anything and will just resume what he's doing when he gets out.
Looking at his arrest record, seems like most offenses are just him being a shit head. How do you detox that?
Abaire faces additional misdemeanor counts of trespassing and disorderly intoxication.
LolBet he's blac-
It's petty but this guy has had quite the criminal history. If this were anybody else, a slap on the wrist would be too much. That said, it's still petty and he should probably go to jail for it but treating it as a felony, even with said history, may be going a bit far.
Who the fuck is so broke that they have to con a McD for some soda?
I see what you're saying and I honestly don't fully disagree with you. He's obviously some kind of vagrant. He was disorderly. I just don't know if he should actually end up in prison with the big guys. There's plenty of truly nasty individuals who should be in the place he's going.I can't agree. Sorry. But he's been given chance after chance after chance after chance after chance after chance (repeat until 39)....
It wasn't just a dollar of soda. When the manager asked him to leave he refused. At that moment it was trespassing. Disorderly conduct, trespassing and theft. Combined with 39 priors....sorry but I have zero sympathy for him and would rather he be off the street.
Your priors factor into it. Which would be why.

It's because this guy has done stuff like this over and over again. For the average person, this shouldn't even be so much as a slap on the wrist.Wait, is this really that big of a deal to you guys in this thread? I mean, the actual act of filling a water cup with soda?
I've done it a couple of times. So I save a few bucks on a meal. So I'd rather not pay the ridiculous markup for fucking syrup. I've never been called out on it before and I see it happen all the time.
Granted, if an employee did notice it and ask me to pay, I'd pay without question.
If I want to buy an item I tend to pay for it instead of stealing it. If it is outrageously marked up I just don't buy it.Wait, is this really that big of a deal to you guys in this thread? I mean, the actual act of filling a water cup with soda?

"You voting this year?"
"Nah, stole a soda once"
edit: and 3 other things

I see people steal all the time. I still don't do it.
...It's a buck for some soda.
