Wonderful People

Three kids recently arrested in St. Paul for causing damage to power and telephone lines are sheer geniuses, I tell you. Committing a number of weird crimes late at night, wearing distinctive clothing as part of some sort of social-engineering ploy? Check. Lying to police? Check one, check two. Trying to flee from the police? Check. Hauling around a “set” of lockpicks, still in the purdy leather case? Total loser check.

Something the story fails to mention is why mister Levi Glennie got off on $1,000 bail, while his compatriots - who did not try to flee from the police - got fifty times that amount. Ater a little digging, I found the answer: Simply, Glennie appears to be new at the whole breaking-the-law thing (or at least the getting caught part), while his buddies were both on probation, having been found guilty in recent years of all sorts of fun things - including, in ones case, possessing child pornography. (Aren’t online criminal history checks fun?) Gotta wonder if he really does work at a nuclear power plant, and if so, what kind of background check he passed - and how.

Not exactly, gritty, hardened criminals, this lot. But not exactly the sharpest of knives in the drawer, either.

    I think if you dig even deeper you’ll find that it was not Ian who had the pornography charge, that was Chris. It was also not Ian who worked at a nuclear power plant, that was Levi. Ian to the best of my knowledge is just a high school drop out, previously convicted felon due to MANY other burglaries, most of which were committed with Chris (in fact they were in violation of their parole just by being together) & a guy named Todd Parker… perhaps he was back in jail & unable to accompany them on this one since his record was extensive when he met Ian who at that time had none. Levi, a recent friend IS perhaps new to all this, but seems to have found a few with a real taste for it. My guess is they’ll get better at it yet.

    I have heard that Glennie is gay and that he met the child porn guy while looking for gay young boy mags (like cub scouts camping nude and stuff). Anyone else have info on this?

    Gee, Randolph, that’s a pretty NASTY accusation…perhaps you, yourself are gay (afraid to come out of the closet) Why else would you bring that up from the story? Get a life!

    Levi worked at the power plant. He is NOT NEW to this, just new at getting caught..good call. I don’t think he was gay, as he had a girlfriend that promptly dumped him after this scandal.. After knowing him very well I can tell you he loves to play god.. glad he got caught.. as far as learning his leason.. not soo sure.
