It makes no sense that this lady spends 5 years in prison for less that 20k in theft, when people have stolen millions and serve no time at all. This is crazy!   more ›

So this piece of human garbage did this while staying at his parents' house. Was the 4 year old under the care of the parents? If so, was the poor kid a relative of Bullard's? I will never understand what drives an adult male to have any sort of sexual attraction to a 4 year old. That brain is badly wired.   more ›
