I guess a free car goes with his free phone, free welfare, free medical care, free education and everything else he is "ENTITLED" to. At least he will have a free roof over his head and 3 free meals a day for a while.

Ding!!!

Hope he likes corn dogs....

why was he not still in jail for the other stuff anyway

Didn't you know that we "OWE" a large percentage of our population a living? Stay at home a get a check. I think we need to go back to the old way. If a man does not work they do not eat. I also understand that there are some legit persons getting assistance. I am not against that, but I do not feel that everyone is entitled.

Another wonderful example of a rehabilitated citizens thanks to Judge Glenn Thompson.

I blame Thompson as much as this wacko

Execute him.

Thanks, Judge Thompson, the police do their job, you half a__ do yours. What a deterrent in your sentences!

I still believe that judges that continue to release repeat offenders should be held to some kind of accountability when it gets to this point or especially when an innocent person is hurt or loses their life. Our justice system certainly needs to be overhauled just like our government does.

He obviously needs to be in a Group Home or on lockdown. How will they ever get reparations for all the damage he did. Ridiculous that he was on the loose.

Thompson needs to be punished for giving passes to so many criminals in Morgan County. The police depts go to great lengths & put themselves @ risk to apprehend these criminals & he lets them back out in the streets to get braver & braver & think that it is their right to demand & terrorize the public. Why do the voters keep reelecting him?

Exactly Perry!

Fork over some money to build five more jails and they will not be let go!

He's a "Chevy" man.

Can cobalt go 120mph?

You asked who going to pay! Everyone that buys a car at Lynn Layton that's who.

They will just add $1000.00 to the next 100-150 vehicles to break even.

Maybe one of those thugs will assault or shoot GlenThompsen. Problem solved new judge!

Gail- not sure if it is smart for you to suggest that a judge or anyone should get assaulted or shot! Also, insurance will cover the cost of the damages, not consumers.

insurance goes up, car price goes up duh

Jason, when the insurance company pays for anything its our money they are paying it with. I toally agree that the sweet pear needs put down like a rabid dog. he will never amount to anything and will always live off those of us who do the work. This country is so split now because of all the low lifes living off the system, that includes both political parties.
