I know this is not in the spirit of the season, but these scum need to be tracked down and then lynched by an angry mob.

We gave Christmas to a lady in the nursing home as a teachable lesson to the kids one year. The staff was dividing up the haul amongst themselves before we were out the door. Sorry, we never did that again.

Thieves stole $8,000-worth of donated toys meant for Toys for Tots, which were being housed at the Greater Bridgeport Christian Fellowship Church.

Just so folks understand the amount of toys taken

Remember that year the Marine Corps failed to hand out a single gift due to bureaucratic overhead? That was “awesome”.

It was $80,000 worth of toys, not $8,000.
