Oh, you haven’t? Well, case closed, then. They must not exist.

Asshole.

“Take it down a notch.”

Counterpoint: fuck you 

“Teenager drinks Arizona iced tea, puts it back on the shelf, winds up in jail”

At least if they put it somewhere weird, no one is going to buy it. I’m assuming that you employees would check to make sure it was not drank from before putting it back.

Fuck this kid. Scare him straight and keep him off my fucking lawn. The country is going to hell because of Cheeto Bonespurs and we are worried about this dipshit.? Throw the book at him. I think in this case, it will create the “deterrence factor” the justice system hangs it’s collective hat upon.

Paying recompenses the store, jail recompenses society. One is a civil penalty, the other punishes the crime.

For a noncarbonated drink, twisting it back on really tight is not that much different that the original seal. I’ve definitely twisted caps off and thought, “hey that didn’t quite feel right but I’m not sure.”

he took a 33 and 1/3 chance.

What happened to being a decent human being who doesn’t just take a swig out of something and puts it back to let someone else pay money for it and get infected?

What he did transcends shoplifting because it put others at risk.

I believe you’re right.  And last time I checked, it was still a crime.

Didn’t eating the food in store and not paying used to be called shoplifting?  

I am going to assume he is white because this is not an obituary.

To pull a phrase from Sir Scott Steiner, he doesn’t get my sympy at all.

What happened to just making them pay for it? Jail is a ridiculously penalty for the crime. 

The problem is, we shamed them for eating Tide Pods, so they moved on to fucking with actual food to get their social media clicks. Next time, just let the kids and morons eat their detergent!

The big problem with a lot of these masocore levels is that it’s a lot of trial and error. Sure, there’s skill in executing everything just right once you know the level, but until then, it’s often a case of “advance forward, die to something you couldn’t anticipate, go back to the beginning and get a little further,…
