Four Boise teenagers — three females and a male — are facing felony burglary charges after Meridian police say they they stole $45 worth of items Monday at Wal-Mart....Yeah, I'd say none of them deserves to ever be able to protect themselves again for the rest of their lives. That sounds reasonable.
Stowe said it can be hard to prove intent in many shoplifting cases, so those suspects are usually charged with a misdemeanors. He said the officer in this case felt he had evidence to support the felony charge.
I wonder if this "Only One" has factored in what creating desperation does to the chances that people with nothing to lose will often violently resist?
