A 14-year-old alleged serial burglar — whose friends even placed orders for specific items — told Santa Fe County sheriff’s deputies he “needs to be in jail” because he “feels a rush when he enters a home,” according to a police report…
So far, the boy has admitted to about 80 residential burglaries in the city and county of Santa Fe during the last year, as well as others in Albuquerque and Rio Rancho, Sheriff Greg Solano said. Preliminarily, it appears the boy — in conjunction with up to four other juveniles — stole approximately 40 flat-screen televisions, 30 guns, seven ounces of cocaine and $10,000 in cash, as well as an unspecified number of iPods and laptop computers, he said.
“It will easily be in the tens of thousands of dollars,” Solano said.
But despite the boy’s admissions of guilt, he has not been arrested and, thus, was not identified by the Sheriff’s Department. The Juvenile Probation Office declined to authorize the boy’s arrest because he didn’t score highly enough on the office’s point scale, which is used to determine if a juvenile should be incarcerated, Solano said.
“The point system is geared toward violent crime,” he said. “And they don’t consider burglary a violent crime.”
Solano, however, said he does consider burglary a violent crime because it can turn violent if a resident is home at the time of the intrusion. Also, burglary victims often feel violated, he said.
Asked if he thinks the boy will continue to break into houses, Solano said, “Yeah, I do.”
Reflect on the loonies in charge of criminal justice for juveniles. Because apparently nothing will be done unless the little shit in question kills someone or is injured in the course of committing a crime.

Never got one, but I would have as I paid (was extorted) about $150k in taxes last year.

If you don’t pay the taxes that they want to redistribute, the IRS breaks into your house to seize your assets to pay the taxes. I call that force.
But you are right. They are not the same. The difference is you can probably get away with shooting a burglar, but not the IRS. Funny how that works that government is more dangerous than a burglar.

That’s why anybody that supports the gov’t doing that to citizens I have NO sympathy for when they are robbed. Just deserts…
I don’t want to pay taxes either guys and I’m not a big fan of the government or the IRS, but it’s the cost of living in America. Move to another country if you don’t like it. I’m still more afraid of the burglar than the US government. But one could bury the burglar in the hills somewhere if push came to shove; it’s tough to get rid of the government.
Do you guys have a better solution or just like to complain?

Search our posts via google. You’ll find lots of ideas.
#35 – I searched and I see how you are. I wouldn’t say you have good ideas, just more of the same ultra-right-winged rhetoric that I hate. If I paid $150k in taxes last year, I would be happy to help less fortunate people with the other $250k+ in my bank account and I wouldn’t mind if the government helped the less fortunate to improve the economic situation the last administration got us into.
You’re just a selfish dickhead. Some of the wealthiest people in America are philanthropists, like Warren Buffet, Bill Gates and Gordon Moore. You’re just an overpaid, ungrateful asshole ROFL.
Let him learn Alarm installation..Intrusion alarms and setup..
Otherwise…
WAIT FOR IT..
BANG BANG, the owner of the hose was home..
“Because apparently nothing will be done unless the little shit in question kills someone or is injured in the course of committing a crime.”
This is so true. What’s the point of waiting until you get really hurt for the cops to do something about it? I’ve ran into many cops who repeat almost verbatim what you just said. This was in MN and CO where we lived in “white” communities with very bad kids and teenagers.
This is standard practice in Santa Clara County.
#36, Shidan,
Don’t worry about the Cow-Patty, He is just a troll.
He runs a “popcycle” stand for a living. Besides, he is an expert in everything accept what is being discussed at any one time. He likes to claim he’s paid big bucks and is a CEO of a large company, in reality, he is just another unemployed kid still living in his mommy’s basement.
Wow… 80 burglaries by age 14. Impressive. Going to have to stop bragging about my 13 speeding tickets by age 18.
