FORT BRAGG, Calif. -- Four Northern California men have been busted for allegedly tattooing the word "thief" in 2-inch-high letters on the forehead of a man they suspected of stealing a pound of marijuana.
Authorities in Mendocino County reported the four face charges of kidnapping, false imprisonment, conspiracy and mayhem.
The victim is a 31-year-old man whose name hasn't been released.
Investigators said the victim was lured to the home of one of those arrested, then duct-taped and tattooed.

brand the thief? Sounds appropriate since scumbag lawyers would rather have him on the street to steal more.
I'll bet this useless bag of garbage doesn't steal anything else!

Imagine trying to explain the word thief on your forehead to family and friends, and total strangers.

The victim is a 31-year-old man whose name hasn't been released.No name needed--he would be the guy walking around Fort Bragg with "THIEF" tattooed on his forehead in a 2-inch font.

BRANDED
All but one man died.
There at Bitter Creek.
And they say he ran away.
Branded, scorned as the one who ran.
What do you do when you're branded, and you know you're a man.
Wherever you go, for the rest of your life
You must prove, you're a man.
