Crime is Out of Hand!

It was reported by our local Crime Stoppers that a man walked into a Total Wine store, opened a case of beer and literally jammed 23 cans of it into his pants and tried to walk out. He was stopped by security and the cops were called, but when the investigators arrived they let the guy walk off SCOTT FREE! Can you believe it? This is absolutely ridiculous. According to authorities, regardless of whether or not the crime was apparent, they simply could NOT make a case out of 23 beers.

People shoplift around here, and no one does much about it. They are told they[ll be fired if they tried, so they don't.

We have certainly had a big problem in this country with high levels of shoplifting and theft, without a doubt, and soft on crime liberal judges and prosecutors don't help either. But this post was also certainly a joke. lol

Glad to deliver. I wish I made it up, but it's a play on a line from Shemp on The Three Stooges, just modified and modernized a bit. But still funny. At least to me. lol

Pretty soon they will be locking the doors there to prevent that from happening. They already do it in other cities. When there is no punishment for small time theft it becomes worth the risk. Why stop at 23, one more would have made it a more interesting "case" to solve.

That is ridiculous! And they will be back to do it again and tell their friends that it is scott free--go check it out! Our country is in so much trouble. I do believe we will see Marshall Law in our lifetime.
