Edward Furlong's Lobster Tale

Boozed-up actor busted in apparent crustacean liberation bid

SEPTEMBER 17--Meet Edward Furlong. The 27-year-old actor was arrested Wednesday night for public intoxication following a bizarre incident--complete with lobsters!--at a Kentucky grocery store. According to this Florence Police Department report, Furlong, who starred in "Terminator 2," and some pals were in a Meijer store getting rowdy and yanking lobsters out of the chain store's tank. When police arrived, an unsteady Furlong, who smelled of booze, began to "turn around in circles" when an officer tried to frisk him. It is unclear whether Furlong--a PETA/animal rights activist--was trying to free the incarcerated crustaceans. Furlong, in town shooting a movie, spent a few hours in custody before making bail on the misdemeanor count. (2 pages)

Great question and observation.

The sooner the petty Drug War Fascists end their Tyranny, the better.

Jails and prisons are for REAL criminals, not people who happen to possess the wrong plant against the Edict of the State...
