Nut doesn't fall far from the tree. I wonder how she's gonna spin this one. Poor bastard. Can you imagine having that as your mother?

[–] SeabassDan 25 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, the nut usually falls somewhere on her dress in a dark theater.

Maybe he should use that. "Your honor, in my defense, my mom is Lauren Bobert..."

[–] Anticorp 4 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Acquitted of all charges! Actually, here are 50 free counseling sessions.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Also free voluntary relocation in witness protection program.

He’ll be exposing himself to minors in no time, just like his Papa

[–] [email protected] 43 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Ok, so if I am reading this rap sheet right... he was breaking into cars, stealing drivers licenses and car insurance/registration/loan documentation and also impersonating people based on the documentation he did have to get the documentation he did not have to basically try to illegally sell the cars eventually, or possibly arrange an illegitimate title transfer to himself, and also doing all this with a bunch of his not yet adult friends.

What an idiot.

[–] SeabassDan 28 points 9 months ago (1 children)

It almost seems like it's a pretty big operation and we're not really getting the full scope of how much he was actually able to steal, and this is just what they were actually able to pin on him.

[–] [email protected] -5 points 9 months ago

Sounds like par for the course as a failson of a US Senator. Maybe he'll eventually be a board member of a Ukranian Energy Company.

[–] grabyourmotherskeys 21 points 9 months ago (1 children)

So much here.

They live in a town called Rifle and he was arrested in a town called Silt. I'm losing the will to live just reading those names.

Meanwhile the victims range in age from a toddler to a senior citizen. And the kids he was arrested with are all younger so he's some kind of ring leader. This is not going to end well for him. Or his kid. Yes, Boebert referred to him as "an adult and father".

Sigh.

It's just not very inspiring. Makes me think of dried up river beds. There's a lot of things you can name a town. Silt and Rifle do not lead me to believe there's a lot of intellectual stimulation. More desperately trying to scrape a living out of scrub brush and rocks. Maybe it's really nice. What do I know.

silt noun

  1. fine sand, clay, or other material carried by running water and deposited as a sediment, especially in a channel or harbour

verb

  1. become filled or blocked with silt

Example: the river's mouth had silted up

Sounds like a Hollow Knight DLC

That's metal, man...

[–] Anticorp 18 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Ooh! Ooh! Check his laptop!

[–] [email protected] 8 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Start a House investigation committee! Did he get secret money from China or Russia?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Well if he did, or if he were on the board of a ukrainian energy company, that would be important information. But as it stands, he is just your run of the mill fuckup with a senator as a parent.

[–] Anticorp 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I heard he was emailing the Taliban!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

I heard he gives terrorist fist bumps!

[–] mx_smith 1 points 9 months ago

Boebert is not a senator.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 9 months ago (1 children)

That mugshot looks like he's got a future as the subject of a true crime podcast

[–] Lommy241 4 points 9 months ago (1 children)

He's 18. A lot of people look pretty awkward during highschool.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago (2 children)

No. I don't think thats it. He looks like the kind of highschool father whos gonna end up on the news

[–] Anticorp 2 points 9 months ago

His parents are already in the news constantly

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

No need for the future tense there.

The Boebert Crime Family

[–] [email protected] 16 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Six victims are listed in the summary, with ages ranging from a three-year-old toddler to a 64-year-old.

I'd really love to know what he took from the toddler tbh.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 9 months ago

Candy: stolen

[–] [email protected] 11 points 9 months ago

Isn't he the one who is already a father? Imagine being his kid.

Sch-longing for dirt on the Beoberts?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Everything about this mugshot screams 1983.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago

Rifle, CO, population 10k. The police department's camera is probably from 1983.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Well you have to remember who his mother and father are. He probably had a shitty life.

"Criminal possession of a financial device" - does this mean like a credit card? Not sure what that means

[–] [email protected] 6 points 9 months ago

as far as i can tell that means something like being in possession of someone else's credit card or debit card or the like with intent to use it
