This is the second article I’ve read today about crime in the south. Anybody else seeing this trend?

The dog is fine and the scum arrested. Too bad he didn’t eat the windshield instead.

Shoplifting?
Stealing a car?
Assaulting a policeman with a car?
Fleeing the scene of a crime?

I guess that doesn’t play in Alabama, but if you pick your state carefully, I think none of those things would be a crime. It’s 2022.

Chicago was running behind on the murder numbers last weekend with a lot of cold and snow. But Spring is on the way!

I don't know about the trend but those who have a good breakfast, like eggs, butter, yogurt and berries tend not to commit any crimes.

Did this perp have a good breakfast?

It does seem like “shoplifter” doesn’t quite capture the totality of the crime.

At some point, citizen patriots will have to put these swine down. Because if we don’t, they’ll do it to us.

Glad the dog is ok. Now, can we bring back public flogging for such criminals.
