    Note the reasons for the arrest: "it could have caused a disturbance and somebody could have gotten hurt." Bring on the pre-cogs. Let's arrest people for what they might do rather than for what they have done.

    The news lady states you do not need to make a spectacle of the situation, however black Friday is a spectacle situation. Stores can sale there goods and people fight over them and that is okay. Wow didn't know being nice was a crime, guess I was wrong.

    Hey, she should at least let hun have a Christmas visit with the cat, who probably misses him. How vindictive!
    Okay, maybe it could have caused a panic, morons tend to overreact to the site of unearned money. However, having lost faith in both political parties, I am fast losing faith in the decisions of law enforcement as well. The county mounties here are into enabling the drug trade, and recently brought down an editor who was not fully cooperating. Now they control what gets in the paper as well. So, it could be worse there.
    Anyway, I think his intentions were meaningful, albeit not altruistic, thankfully. He wanted to feel better, and his act would have made some people feel that way too. Merry Christmas to him..

    Proof once again that no good deed goes unpunished... We can't have people helping one another of their own free will. That is the government's job... how could they justify their creation... the welfare state of dependence...

    This is why I keep hoping that Oliver Wendell Holmes is smoking a turd in purgatory.

    Making it illegal to shout fire in a crowded theater, *even in a situation where no one is harmed* and there's no property damage, when there's no fire, set the precedence for all preventive laws like this one.

      Almost had a cop pull his gun on me...

      I had stopped at Blockbuster and picked up a tape.

      Went to vote at the local fire house. It was very crowded.

      I pulled the VHS tape from my coat pocket and reached as high over my head as I could thrust it. Then I yelled as loud as I could, "Movie! Movie! Movie!"

      The cop had his hand on the gun. He just didn't know how to handle someone yelling, "Movie!," in a crowded fire house.
