He’s a “Political Prisoner!”

Or is that “Poisoner”?

Could he have also caused the natural disaster Hurricane Ida?

A $5000 fine is pretty light, considering how awful the substances used by plating facilities are. Unless this guy was extremely lucky and none of the chemicals got into soil or groundwater as a result of his actions, he bought himself a share of financial responsibility for any future cleanup at that business.

Or perhaps to Alex Jones, himself.

Sounds like this fool is a walking breathing environmental disaster. Perhaps a nice sulfuric acid enema would be the cure :thinking:

Ok, a typical Trump supporter. Could have guessed.

He is the kind of guy who wants to own the libs even if it kills him.

It seems to me that the judicial system was a little too generous with Mr. Dagley who, as former proprietor of the business, had every reason to know the magnitude of the danger he was trying to create.
I’d say he shoulda been spending some time inside rather than driving around Gulfport.

Sounds like a decade in a mental institution might have served both Dagley and the community better; this fellow needs to be sedated.

Dagley was sentenced to five years on probation and 30 days in jail; ordered to undergo anger management; and forced to pay $15,370 in restitution and a $5,000 fine.

WTF? This sounds more like the sentence you’d get for assaulting the reporter, not for trying to poison thousands of people.

So he tried to pollute his own property? Interesting way to possibly get even?
