The article is from almost nine years ago, but it's interesting. What are your thoughts on his sentence?

They hand out really long prison sentences for stupid stuff and they let serious criminals walk around with low/no bail and/or don't even charge them.

Yeah, this guy should have gotten probation with community service and maybe a month or two in jail. He already got a felony conviction, so a lengthy sentence isn't necessary for what he did.

I wouldn't have nearly the problem with that sentence if we treated all crimes with the same severity - relatively speaking.

This guy's punishment was way worse, cause Ozzy was only charged with public intoxication.

Maybe because Ozzy didn't really piss on the Alamo (or he was never charged for the offense); besides, desecration of a burial site is serious business. I'm sure your side wants to tear down the Alamo, but some of us respect history AND believe folks of all races/ religions shouldn't be disturbed. Perhaps that's why some of ua don't share your take on this matter.

I'm not saying this guy shouldn't have been punished, I'm saying eighteen months was too harsh.

18 months for that isn't too harsh IMHO... the trouble is the **** that's too lenient... and comparatively, to the heinous crap we see unpunished, it is a long sentence.

This is interesting as I have every intention of pissing on the front door to the Shrine to Obama they are building to replace low income housing in Chicago.

I am committed to spending a night or two in the pokey for this, but 18 months would be interruptive to life.

Kinda a crazy world we live in when using the restroom in public in Texas gets you 18 months in prison, but when doing it in California it gets you free stuff.

What's even more wild, both are sucking funds from tax payers…

Too much. I think a month in jail and a hefty fine, and possibly some community service would have sufficed.

But if you look at it as a grave of American heroes, it's a little more distasteful. I mean if someone walked into Arlington and started pissing everywhere I don't think people would be too happy.

This seems like something that should've been handled via public service.

Looks like 18 months was not enough

https://www.elpasotimes.com/story/news/crime/2015/12/30/police-man-possibly-meth-before-killing/78111060/

" Daniel Michael Athens, who made national news for urinating on the Alamo in 2012, is suspected in the fatal shooting of Hector Jimenez, 56, on Dec. 20 in a car on Alameda Avenue. Athens, 25, is also accused of kidnapping, beating and threatening to kill his girlfriend the same day that Jimenez was killed, according to court documents obtained by the El Paso Times."

From 2015

Nine years ago Bexar County had a really good and tough DA.

George Pee Bush deserves an even harsher punishment for what he did to the Alamo.

He served the whole eighteen months, since he wasn't eligible for parole.

He was convicted of an unrelated robbery and the jury sentenced him to the maximum twenty years and the maximum $10,000 fine, because the prosecutor brought up those other incidents and the Alamo incident during the punishment phase of trial (he was only on trial for the robbery). He's already out, since he was only convicted of the robbery and not the other crimes.

Also, how long do we think you would get for urinating outside the White House? Asking for an old friend…

He's unlucky because he got eighteen months for pissing on the Alamo, but he's lucky because he murdered someone, kidnapped and tried to kill his girlfriend and committed a robbery and is already out.

I am glad for you that they were far more kind to you when you brought the crazy train to the Alamo.
