What a loser
Just throw this sadistic piece of shit into very heavy traffic…He murdered five innocent
little creatures one by one to extend the “thrill”!!
“A good kid”? In what universe?
Exactly. His attorney needs checking into.
I hope this pathetic little man gets 5years for every little,innocent kitten that died horribly on a highway due to his inhumane actions! PLEASE 🙏 don’t let him get away with such cruelty and abuse of animals! Thank you 🙏

I hope this pos is thrown out of a car and fell the brutal impact these poor KITTENS felt!!🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
I don’t care how good he was up until the day he murdered, five innocent little creatures that God gave us to love and cherish and have his companions. We are not to torture them or abuse them or hurt them and kill them in anyway. I don’t think he should ever be allowed to have animals or be around animals. I think he should have a $5000 fine. 1000 for each kitten I think he should have to do about 200,000 hours of community service cleaning up kennels you know lots of dog poop, yeah for about two years. I think he should get five months in jail a month for each kitten and he should remain on probation for five years afterwards one year each for each kitten he brutally murdered for no reason whatsoever!!! Those little babies never had a chance they didn’t do anything wrong. They didn’t ask to be born. They were just in the wrong place with the wrong time and now they’re all dead because of this monster, if he strikes me as the kind that would do it again they usually do and then some of them move on to humans like small children because people like this only go after something that is helpless and smaller than them so they can overpower them. He would never go after something bigger than him. Do you understand this is a psychological problem problem there’s certainly something wrong with him. He needs to be evaluated. He’s pure Eva.
Judges quit coddling these evil 😈 sick non- humans. 10 years prison time to begin.
“a good kid with an excellent reputation,” Really? The bastard has facial hair. His mother should have thought twice about having him because she didn’t do the world no favors. She could always change her mind though, unless she’s the bitch who told him to do it.
Felony charges for torture and killing of animals!!
Only a felony!! Where are the judges who care for the victim and not for the murderers? Get this man off the streets. El Salvador is even too good for him.
What an irresponsible person. He needs the hell beat out of his sorry hide.
His attorney is just as delusional: “a good kid”?? WTF good kid throws kittens out of a car to be killed? Throw this asshole AND his lawyer off a tall rocky cliff.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Please burn this thugs butt. Good kid my hind side he is a thug and deserves to be treated as such. Maybe 5 years in prision will teach this “good kid” a lesson he will remember
Treat him like the vile monster he is. Jail him for a very long time!!!!!

Earnest prayers for JUSTICE. 🙏🏻 It’s not just the pain they suffered, but the confusion and terror they experienced leading up to the evil act. 😡😢😿
Thank you!
Throw this POS from a moving vehicle at high speed. I’ll happily drive the car that hits him. What a vile ahole!!!!
you are my new best Friend Tracy, I will join you to run that bastard over mulitple times.
EXECUTE the vile POS .. preferably tossed from a vehicle onto a busy highway and let OTHER vehicles HIT HIM
Perpetrators of violence against animals should be punished as if their victims were human.
Absolutely…
This piece of garbage deserves to be thrown from a car and hit by a bunch of semi-trucks so that he knows how it feels. Bless those innocent kittens. So sad that they crossed paths on this planet with a monster.
I agree Todd.
That POS needs to be punished. No plea deals. Let him rot in prison!
Thanks for those words, Todd!
