  1. Well golly! Another legal citizen commits a crime. Can't wait for the wall! You know the wall Trump promised and said Mexico would pay for. Then he said Mexico would pay us back. Then he just started asking for money OUR tax dollars to pay for it.

    1. What does the wall have to do with this story? He is American, white, was born here and has lived here 27 years.

  2. Totally wrong to conflate crimes by Citizens and crimes by illegal Aliens.Not even close to being the same thing.With that said,this person obviously needs to go away for a long time.Sounds like just a matter of time before he killed someone,great that he's off our streets.

    1. He is a troubled kid that never got to experience real life. Rockville is a horrible place to grow up. Having crackhead neighbors, no work opportunity, have to live paycheck to paycheck. What he is accused of doing is indeed horrible, but he would have never physically harmed anyone. He actually has a family, and can be a great individual...maybe he just needed more guidance. Maybe he shouldn't have gotten turned away when he begged for help. You all don't know this individual and have no right to post nasty stuff. What if this was your family member?
