Sick,sick,Cruel Non-Compassionate SOB’s.Let me have A stab at justice!.Look at that poor,cute innocent face!3254781

Ok, let me get this straight. Its “OK” to torture and kill an innocent, defenseless animal as long as you’re not caught doing it until AFTER the statute of limitations??!! Does this judge not understand that people who perform these acts are seriously psychologically messed up and will go on to perform more acts of cruelty and violence? And was there no concern for the other pipe bombs and things they found? HELLO…….that seems to be a no-brainer here. Did the judge think these guys were just planning for a really great Halloween fireworks exhibition?!
Honestly, I think the judge needs his head analyzed right along with these men. What horrible story and what a terrible example that’s been made by those awful men getting off without repercussion. Let’s not forget the words of Ghandi: “The Greatness of a Nation is judged by its treatment of animals”.
Gee, guess what guys, we just failed……..miserably.

sounds like sombody’s got their head up their ass

Maybe they meant indecent and hardworking murderers. Who’s their next victim?

I’m sorry, did you say decent and hardworking people?, I do not know any decent and hardworking people that would “tortured a turtle and then killed it with a pipe bomb”!

i studied psychology and what scares me is that , at least , therapy should have applied here, and , i guess it wasnt
it starts , usually , with animal cruelty, and ends up with spouse/child abuse and beatings

I’m sure if someone blew them up with a pipe bomb, there would be federal charges of many kinds, probably including hate crimes. Any fool can make a pipe bomb. “Vengeance is Mine” sayeth The Lord “I will repay.” Oh, the many ways The Lord is able to repay.

My guess is the Lazy Prosecutor didn’t care to mess with this.

And their attorney should be ashamed.

James Tyson and Seth Pincher of Knox, NY. I’m sure they’ll not have an easy time of it from here out. Here’s hoping.

How could anyone think that hurting an animal is a good idea? Oh, I dunno, maybe it has something to do with the fact that we torture, then slaughter millions of animals a year, except it’s considered OK because we’re eating them. Yeah, these guys are creeps alright, but it’s not like they weren’t conditioned by society telling them, “Killing animals cruelly for whatever purpose you choose — food, clothing, etc — is fine.”

that will be the 1st step towards crime and there will be another..
need to teach them a lesson , before it is too late.ong M

I am all for punishing animal abusers!! I feel that they should get the same treatment as they gave the poor defensless turtle !!
If they can dish it out then they can take it !!!
That goes for any child or animal abuser !!!!

I never met a decent attorney!

Anyone who would harm a defenseless, inoffensive reptile like a turtle ought to be doing serious jail time, not to mention psychiatric sessions.

Decent people? Sure glad they don’t live next to me. Keep them in Knox town! I’d hate to have ‘decent’ people living next to me.

The system doesn’t work. It is incapable of critical thought. That the torture of the innocent being is horrendous enough, they should have the book thrown at them, everyone missed the point that that kind of thing only escalates.

And, George, yes, I thought the pipe bomb was FEDERAL..

I bet they hate Obama too.

What about the terrorist device they exploded – the PIPE BOMB . ???
Isn’t that FEDERAL ???????

thes gus should be made to work in a animal abuse shelter for 5 years for no pay !!

They sound like sick people to me.

Horrible comment on humanity. This is a defenseless animal and certainly did not deserve this cruelty. They should be fined at the very least.

Somebody needs to blow them up.

“Hard working” maybe, “basically decent”, hardly.

It’s a “TURTLE” for crying out loud!

If the statute of limitations had expired on the animal cruelty, then how could it not be expired on a disorderly conduct violation?
