STLtoday – News – Missouri State News — Another example of the a-holes running around in city government.
Country Mart’s doughnuts — fried fresh daily in the store — sell for just 52 cents each. That is why the “shoplifters will be prosecuted” signs are displayed in aisle 4 with the pricey pain and allergy pills, and not in aisle 5 beside the glass doughnut case with its tiger tails, jelly-filleds and eclairs.
Then one man’s sweet tooth got the better of him. He stole a doughnut. A single doughnut.
Authorities called it strong-arm robbery. The “doughnut man,” as the suspect is now known, faces five to 15 years in prison for his crime.

Not all cases are the same therefor I suggest one of the following for at least a year, with an option of additional psychiatric counseling:
1. Put him in boot camp
2. Chain him to a urinal with a bucket and mop
3. Community service helping the challenged
4. Chain him to a chair, while Mr. mustard explains over and over why he is a different kind of christian.
So, by your sarcastic tone, Mr. Effusion, are you suggesting that it somehow wasn’t his fault that he torched the car?
And are you saying that there is no reason why people who can’t control their own actions shouldn’t be taken off the streets?
You’d think this kind of nonsense would have bi-partisan opposition; conservatives should be against it because it’s a stupid waste of our tax dollars; liberals are against this because we have common sense.
#34….Greg Allen….You have a point about the cost. While conservatives are usually more fiscally conscious, they are also strong believers(real conservatives here, not those religious imposters) in responsability for ones actions.
So, a conservative could go either way on this one. 🙂
#4, Ed., darnit. My best chance and I still don’t receive the UKKMA. For that alone, you’re dangerously close to receiving the BRDDA. Although rewarding each other would just be ridiculous. 😆
If that donut divin’ dude had just followed the basic FSM tenets, he’d have paid for the donut and stayed out of trouble…
#32, Frank,
I don’t know why he torched his car. It was apparently to collect the insurance money. That instance and the other listed crimes suggest that the guy is a low level low life. Most likely addicted to drugs, booze, or both. Again, I don’t know.
It does cost a lot less to rehabilitate the guy and make him a contributing member of society then it does to incarcerate him for a few years.
24. Point is, Liberal-Minded people usually try to use a telescope rather than a mirror when finding fault. They rationalize to a point where someone is not responsible for their own actions. They rationalize to the point where the crimnal is somehow the victim. What’s even more funnier is when Liberal-Minded people take the rare moment to try and become fiscially conservative when they rationalize something.
25. Agreed, but I prefer Libertarian.
you suck
