Texas Man Gets 18 Months in Prison for Public Urination

[Carlybee]

How so ? Are you another statist wanting to waste my tax money on keeping a public urinator in prison for 1.5 years, while violent criminals get to write letters of apology and do community service ?

Right or wrong as the punishment goes, anyone with half a brain knows that the law in San Antonio takes peeing on the Alamo pretty seriously. It was also a mission and a lot of people there are Catholic. I'm not surprised at the punishment given the history of what happens when people do that so I'm not sure why anyone is shocked over it, however I'm sure you could donate to his appeal.

[Danke]

I love nature and romping through the woods, but I've peed on it plenty of times. (Can't wait to see Danke's comment on this.)

Texas Man Gets 18 Months in Prison for Public Urination .

Texas is a Theocracy.

Southern Baptists do not appreciate folks who expose their penises.

He is lucky he wasn't sentenced to death.

The morale of the story is that you must piss and pray at the same time.

Hallelujah.

Hey, all he needs to do is donate $10k to the Daughters of the Republic of Texas and he is good to go. It's been done before. Perhaps taxpayers could do that and save themselves $20k.?

Look if it was my call he would get a slap on the wrist and some community service. I'm just saying it was pretty stupid on his part knowing how they are about the Alamo.

23 year old. How much was he taught about history in today's indoctrination centers? Lol. Stupid. Yes. I agree. I wonder if he would have gotten 18 months anywhere else in Texass.

[Brian4Liberty]

I feel safe now.

Much safer.

"Oh noes! Sharia Law is coming to America! It will be terrible!" Hold on...

[Brian4Liberty]

"Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted."

Is that one gone too?

I doubt it but like I said everyone knows how they feel about peeing on the Alamo. He kind of rolled the dice on that one. I don't think they care about his level of ignorance. If someone peed on the Washington monument they'd probably get something similar.

He wouldn't make it out of Texas alive, and be sure to remove your hat when you say or type Alamo.

AS A TEXAN:

This sentence is DEPLORABLE. For freak's sake, what moronic district attorney pursued this sentence? The brave men who gave their lives at the Alamo are rolling over in their graves for such a ridiculous sentence.

Give the young punk community service. Road Crew. No animal shelters. Or retirement homes. Make him work a bit. Give him the opportunity to learn from his foolish mistakes.

But for heaven's sake, PRISON? Yeah, lets ruin a kid's life by sticking him in a hole with hardened criminals. Ridiculous!

[Carson]

I've done some pretty fancy peeing in my day but I couldn't imagine what this guy did to get a year and a half sentence.

I laughed out loud when I read pee'd on the Alamo. Something like that could leave serious divots in the adobe!

[LibertyEagle]

When I was a kid, it was a relatively free country.

Same for me.

And that would be stupid too.

I'll never forget this guy:

Dante Stallworth was drunk and killed a guy and served 24 out of 30 days in jail. It was a while ago, but I always thought...Damn...someone is dead and he gets 30 days in jail and 2 years house arrest.

This guy takes a piss and is going to spend 18 months in jail. Wow. Just wow.

It just goes to show how little value our "Just-Us" system places on human life. Human Trafficking? Thats a whole different ball of wax.

What's the penalty for taking a dump on the White House lawn? (Rhetorical question - the answer is, quite clearly, death)

Until the people drag these rogue DA's out of their plush little offices and publically humiliate them for their lunacy this BS will continue to escalate..

[Dr.3D]

He was probably upset he couldn't find the basement and the bicycle.

Yes, THIS. This dumbass is probably going to end up being a hardcore career criminal in the future, just because he did a dumbass, immature thing. He will likely be unemployable after doing a stretch of hard time in the state pen, all because he peed on some limestone.

Not that he doesn't deserve some punishment/correction, but it needs to be something more reasonable. Maybe something like the "letter of apology and community service" thing that men who violently attack women are sometimes "punished" with here in Lubbock.

He'd be in far less trouble if he had just gone up to some female tourist there at the Alamo and tried to rape her (if it were a first-time offense, he'd probably be facing no jail time). The fact that such a thing is even possible is more of a desecration to what those men died for than his peeing on some limestone.

Yay for our great Texas JustUs system! Defending the honor of the long-dead Texas Republic, while turning a once free land into a police state (draconian punishments for minor crimes, State Troopers allowed to commit roadside rapes and arrest legal open carriers of firearms, etc).
