Who will he vote for? #31


Meet Brent Leisgang

Why is he in the news?

Excerpt
Police believe Brent Leisgang was the one who stole some catalytic converters last week in Harrison, because they said he left something important behind – his son.

Leisgang, 30, of Cedar Grove, Ind., was arrested Wednesday by Harrison police and charged with child endangering, possession of criminal tools, possession of drugs, criminal trespass, and two counts each of theft and criminal damaging.

Police responded at 12:54 a.m. March 27 to Harrison Frame and Axle, 709 Harrison Ave.

When they arrived, they saw a man run from the scene.

As they investigated farther, police say they found Leisgang’s 12-year-old son at the scene and believe Leisgang brought his son along to help him steal catalytic converters from at least two vehicles.

The converters, car parts that help clean exhaust before it is released into the air, are coveted by thieves because they are easy to steal and, because they contain precious minerals, can be sold for up to $250 to scrap dealers who then sell the converters so the precious metals can be recycled.

This November, does Brent vote for the second coming of the Christ in Obamania?

Or does he vote for the anti establishment candidate of Ralph Nader?

Or John McCain?

On another note, did this guy ever stop to think that a job might pay better than stealing catalytic converters?
