  1. An average age of 40 years old and still out here committing crimes like mindless juveniles.
    Give them the maximum sentence. They are worthless to free society.

  4. I think it’s ridiculous and petty that 35+ something year olds are still doing stuff like this.

    • Even if they’re 20 or 25 year olds, it would still be ridiculous. Like Esteban said, it’s pretty much terrorism to the person or people being robbed.

  5. When you go around terrorizing people in their homes and taking their things, this is what you got coming to you!

  6. No bail bondsman with half a brain is ever going to pony up a cool million, not for any of these guys. Their lives are effectively over. Never again will any of these guys ever see the light of day.

  7. “If convicted as charged, the possible maximum sentences range from nine years to 196 years to life…”

    Everyone should receive the maximum amount of time behind bars.

  10. Scummy people removed from our streets. Thank you law enforcement. These scum bags were experienced.This is no shock to them that theyou are in custody. They have all been in this rodeo in the past.
