I think it's a waste of tax payer's money for this to have taken place, I mean come on now 10 different law enforcement groups? Who was watching over our streets while all the police were there? Last time I needed the law it took them almost 45 min to get there, and why was that? ... Well because they were understaffed, at least that's what I was told. They probally stopped for donuts and coffee!

I hope that these people are punished to the fullest extent. The longest sentence allowed for this crime is not long enough for them.
