    Just upgraded to a D5000

    It really is time for change

    If there was a greater threat of punishment these yobs may think twice. But the fact is our prisons are over crowded and they will prob just get a suspended sentence and community service. If they get tagged, it's just another bragging right amongst these degenerates. Hang em :)
