Yes, about time people stood up to criminals.

Bragg and the presiding judge should both be stripped of their licenses to practice law, and they could very well see that happen.

This is a case that never should have been charged. Glad to see the he had the courage to intervene in a situation where others were being threatened and he had the skills to take action.

Penny spent almost two in jail on a false charge.

Someone has to stand up for what's right. If people are going to go around threatening people and acting like that then yes I would want someone to protect me or my kids in any way .

The perps record alone indicates he belonged in a cage, and away from any interaction with functional people.

The perp was a threat to riders’ welfare and there was no law enforcement to protect them. Trained military personnel are trained to step up and serve. Penny deserves an award for protecting the common public.

Missouri should enforce strict laws against animal abuse—because any society that calls itself evolved must protect the voiceless. Cruelty tolerated is cruelty normalized, and no state that values progress can afford that.

Yes the voiceless, to include humans as well. Babies need voices as well.

Currently, MO is the country's leader in puppy mills. Punish these horrible monsters who traffic in the misery of poor animals!

Dogs are the most loyal animals and love you unconditionally no matter how they are treated and it is just heartbreaking to see them mistreated or abused!

Missouri has been notorious for puppy mills that sell sick puppies and treat dogs horrible.

Because we need to be advocates for the animals that get taken advantage of. They can’t fight for them for themselves. Some humans are very cruel

Totally agree, look at how we treat our children in the womb as if they are a burden when actually its us who didn't take accountability for our own actions. Humans are selfish and cruel.

I think the more pertinent question would be should dogs and other domesticated animals kept as pets be considered property or have other more humane rights? This has nothing to do with breeding. The dogs were neglected and suffered immensely.

We need more room fulls of people in J.C. working out the details of sports betting, thereby sending exponentially more people into compulsive gambling, and eventually bankruptcy. To hell with protecting the innocent animals.
