This dude is lucky, he would have been a chalk outlined carpet stain if it were my place.

Couple make burglar clean their home LOLOL
 Advertisements [?]What would you do if you came home to find your house ransacked, and worse, that the burglar was still inside?

A couple from Montgomery, Alabama, did what some people might find unthinkable - they made the burglar clean up the mess he had made at gunpoint while they waited for the police to arrive.

“Tears just rolled down my face as I walked in and saw everything gone and piles of trash all over my home,” Mrs. McKinnon told her local newspaper the Montgomery Advertiser.

When her husband walked into another room to check what was missing he came face to face with the burglar, who was wearing one of Mr. McKinnon’s hats.

“My husband Adrian caught the thief red-handed in our home. And what is even crazier, the man even had my husband’s hat sitting right on his head,” Mrs. McKinnon said.

Mr. McKinnon held suspect Tajuan Bullock at gunpoint and made him sit down until he decided what to do.

“We made this man clean up all the mess he made, piles of stuff, he had thrown out of my drawers and cabinets onto the floor,” Mrs. McKinnon said.

When the police arrived the work-shy burglar had the cheek to complain to them - about having to clean up his mess at gunpoint.

But the police officer laughed at Bullock when he complained and told him that anybody else would have shot him dead.

2. At least the guy who ripped me off was neat
 considering I don't think he was inside more than 10 minutes. Very little was disturbed. He just saw stuff and grabbed it.
That's about all I had to be grateful for. My mother's jewelry wasn't insured since it was sentimental stuff and I knew money wouldn't compensate for its loss.

3. That's really brilliant! (Well, perhaps not entirely brilliant, a bit risky
 actually, but funny as hell). And the thief was very lucky after his unluckiness.

One thing that strikes me as odd/funny in the writeup is that the wife refers to "piles of trash" when it's apparently just all of her stuff that's been thrown on the floor.  Maybe she means things were broken and torn up, but it sounds funny...

4. Yes, it's funny. But if we think a bit deeper....
 Look what's happening to people.

Look at what the options REALLY are.

When you have NO MONEY, and noway to survive, what do you do?

I mean, really, WHAT DO YOU DO????

If you have no family and no where to turn, and finally get the message that you are superfluous and decide to kill yourself, then you are locked up and THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS SPENT LOCKING YOU UP BECAUSE YOU'RE "A DANGER TO YOURSELF".

Remember Les Miserables, when the man stole a loaf of bread to feed his sisters starving children, and was locked up for 19 years?

WHAT ARE PEOPLE SUPPOSED TO DO????


How about they get a freaking job bobostink ?

6. Could you please reread my THOUGHTFUL post, and actually THINK about it
 and answer the question thoughtfully?

I would appreciate it.

And so would millions of poor people in this country.


I say again

How about they get a freaking job bobostink ?

The jobs are out there.  It won't pay $20 an hour to start with but you have
to start somewhere.

7. It was thoughtful
 Ya can't go stealin stuff just because you've hit hard times. And if you do, sometimes the crime is mitigated in court, but it's still a crime.

Poor zagging is gonna be gone pretty soon.

When you are the beneficiary of someone’s kindness and generosity, it produces a sense of gratitude and community.

When you are the beneficiary of a policy that steals from someone and gives it to you in return for your vote, it produces a sense of entitlement and dependency.

At least you would have three hots and a cot and we wouldn't have to listen to you BITCH on the internet about being a homeless skell so by all means, Man Up and drink some Drano.  Either way the world would be a better place.

I think we have come to the point where whenever bobbleHead has anything to say just insert "bobbo rant" and move on.

We all know what it says, we're justing wasting time reading the same shit on a different day, and I'm not getting any younger!  :-)

What a usless excuse for a human and a waste of air!  :hammer:

Damn, sir, you're good; you did it again.

Can I start using that more-appropriate name to describe the bobbling primitive?

There isn't as much wrong with the "bobbling primitive" as there is with the "subway cat," but I was never sure if anyone understood my description of her; an older woman with some sort of neurological disorder that makes the head wobble.

Using the "bobostink primitive" on the other hand is more accurately descriptive.

I went out and did a google search on this.  The following articles have publication dates of October, 2007.

I tried the link that was posted and got a 404 error.  I wonder why this was brought up again.

DUmmie logic.   :whatever:  ....it was very valuable to me, therefore I refused to insure it.   :thatsright:

...and bobostink thinks the perp is actually the victim.  Idiot.

I am SHOCKED that they did not taker the criminals' side, except for Bobbomissinglink of course but she don't count. she never did count apparently. Is that not slavery??? I mean shouldn't a leftwing nutcase take his side against the well armed couple??
