OK, this miscreant deserves harsh punishment. That said, why is he facing FEDERAL and not STATE charges? Surely we have a law on the books in SC that makes it a crime to injure or kill a police service dog. The absence of an explanation is odd for FITS, a site that ostensibly champions the dividing lines between federal and state powers and voicing support for a reduced federal role in the states for those matters the states are more than capable of handling. Maybe an editor’s post column note is in order…..
“Nine state charges are currently pending in Newberry County related to the same arrest. They include charges for burglary, breaking the peace, animal cruelty, resisting arrest and multiple weapons charges.”

Reading comprehension is important, my dude:
