    Ive known this man my whole life He was my brother’s best friend. He attempted to rob my apartment back in 2015. When I tried to hold my door shut he kicked it split my head like a melon. And then he left me in the floor Bleeding everywhere. Somewhere in there is a good person a man who cares about people. He needs rehabilitation not incarceration

    If found guilty, place him in locks on the courthouse lawn.

    If this suspect is guilty it’s pretty bad when someone steals, but to steal from a church is pretty low. If this person is guilty I hope they get help for, what I would guess, their drug addiction.
