You should shut your mouth

Editor's note... We almost didn't approve this comment because we do not like the tone it establishes. However, the comment, "To(o) bad the police couldn't have taken the 'long way' to the jail," is unnecessary and it suggests that the officers should have done something illegal, that is not how things should be done, and incites the wrong kind of thinking.

And finally, the crime this person is accused of committing is only an accusation at this point, so fair is fair. Thanks for listening

This sick low life needs to be put away for a lot of years. My Guess: He was just working his way up to something more serious. Take a female out of her car and drive to places unknown and have his way with her and maybe even kill her. To bad the police couldn't have taken the "long way" to the jail.
