Thug of the Week - When are we going to "Network"?

Click the vcr play button and be prepared to scream! Think repeat offenders.

Howard Beale is a fictional character from the movie Network. He coined a phrase that, I think, needs to be said by every law abiding citizen in Shelby County. I want you to stand up, and go to the window right now . . .

Aw, he's just an old drunk. I guess I've heard that a thousand times. Why are y'all picking on him, he just likes to drink a little, and he probably has a mental condition too! Well, that may be true, but who doesn't have mental issues? The real question is this - when do we start caring about the citizens who try to do the right thing? When do we say enough is enough? This weeks thug is just ANOTHER poster-(person) for what's wrong with our "Injustice System." Bobby Evans rni# 16838 is approximately 52 years old. Over the past twenty five years, Bobby has visited our jail 106 times for the following offenses. He has been arrested numerous times on many of them, and once again we are left asking, what the heck are the judges thinking? why don't they throw the book at this guy every time he comes to jail? It's very clear that he will never be a contributing citizen, unless you take the perspective that he stimulates the economy by committing crimes. Bobby gets arrested over-and-over, yet he still gets back out to wreak havoc on the citizens of Memphis and Shelby County. Here is the list of charges for which Bobby has been arrested:
