Are we supposed to feel sorry for a drug dealer compared? Good luck with that.

^^^So was that a federal 'pound me in the ass' prison?

Johnson now works for Hatfield Quality Meats in Lansdale and faces from 12 to 18 months in prison.

WTF that's it?? He stole 2200 games from American Citizens. That guy needs at least 5 years.

"Johnson now works for Hatfield Quality Meats in Lansdale and faces from 12 to 18 months in prison. Read more here."

So he's packing meat now.

Maybe he'll find some fellow meat-packers where he's going.

Yea jail the little guy while wall street steels trillions while people the world over sink into poverty in this jobless recovery. It seams as though no one gives a moments thought when $26.4 USD vanishes over a two year period while making quiet a show about balloon boy on CNN and his parents giant jiffy pop.

Isn't tampering with mail a federal offense AND a felony? You'd think that 2,200 counts of it would probably equal life in prison.

Only if he was stealing from the outside: As a federal employee, they'll probably give him a break by combining it into one offense and forgetting the fleeing/aluding, resisting arrest, and wreckless driving charges.

You can bet that if he hadn't been working for the post office and had lifted a mail bag from the back of a truck, he'd be charged with a separate offence for each letter in that bag.

He doesn't seem smart enough to use multiple store locations to avoid suspicion, so it's likely he had a buddy working at Gamestop who helped buy them from him without raising a few red flags.

You guys are completely over the top- holy shit it was games not armed robbery. No wonder the US has the most prisoners of any country in the world. I would prefer my tax dollar not going towards his federal R&R- or did you forget you/we are paying for that?

If someone leaves a $100 tip in a fine restaurant and you swipe it, that's called "larceny from a building" and has a max of four years. Most people will do 90-days for it. That's a single offense, this guy did multiple offenses.

Is english Marcus' primary language? I also wonder what the editors do here at Tom's, because editing doesn't appear to be part of it.

 

[ssalim]

Lol if you are going to steal (and go to jail), do something bigger than just 80k$ What a loser.

 

[nevertell]

At the place where I live, he would probably get a month in pirson and a 1000$ fine.

[citation][nom]compulsionnra[/nom]His $86,000 turns into about $86 at gamestop.[/citation]
LOL I COMPLETELY AGREE!!!

 

[eccentric909]

[citation][nom]lifelesspoet[/nom]He is getting off easy because they are games, if it was netflix, the RIAA would have him drawn and quartered.[/citation]

MPAA 😉 Same difference though!

 

[warezme]

I'm coming over to his house for playing games and eating burgers!!!

Wait so by abusing a positon of trust and stealing while on the job as a federal [contract] employee you say he should/would get a lighter sentence than somebody that went mailbox to mailbox stealing them? How the f*ck does that make any sense? Oh wait its the government...nevermind
