The couple who robbed my house a month ago had so many previous arrests it was insane-and they were young!They only got a few years this time-so it won't be long before they are at it again too.I wish they would keep these useless punks in jail!!

Anyone think the Judge will make them stay in jail or let them out? Love to know what you think. I think they will be out and robbing folks in no time.

Thanks to the KPD for your help arresting them. When they get to court the judge will just let them back on the street though. Oh and tell them "Ok, you get paroll now stay out of trouble!" Nobody ever does any jail time in this city.
