Eat candy near the Washington subway and you WILL be arrested.
 

Subway rider arrested for eating candy

Stephanie Willett said she was eating a PayDay bar on an escalator descending into a station July 16 when an officer warned her to finish it before entering the station. Both Willett and police agree that she nodded and put the last bit into her mouth before throwing the wrapper into a trash can.

That's just silly. suprised they even covered it must be in need of more news items.

"the light of truth is my only guide."

remember as Che guevera said: "When the forces of oppression come to maintain themselves in power against established law, peace is considered already broken."

raise the fist

At least its better than singapore, where you arn't even allowed to chew gum.

I ate a snickers and dran a soda when I was there.


Thinking back on it...I saw pleanty of people at least drinking something. I'm sure if you arent a jackass and mouth off or walk away, they wouldnt do shit.


Still kinda funny. :winkwink:

that is just plain fucked up....i understand the no eating thing, but arresting someone for it? fuck, what is this country coming to?

Oh good lord!!!

Typical head-in-the-ass Washington behavior though :2 cents:

:eek7

America stands for freedom, but if you think you're free, try walking into a deli and urinating on the cheese.

That's what I call freedom my friends ...

FUCKING REDICULOUS!

hell - even singapore has lifted it's national ban on chewing gum :2 cents:

it's not the right time to be sober
now the idiots have taken over
spreading like a social cancer, is there an answer?

Mensa membership exceeding
tell me why and how are all the stupid people breeding
Watson, it's really elementary
the industrial revolution
has flipped the bitch on evolution
the benevolent and wise are being cornered, ostracized, what a bummer
the world keeps getting dumber
insensitivity is standard and faith is being fancied over reason

darwin's rollin over in his coffin
the fittest are surviving much less often
now everything seems to be reversing, and it's worsening
someone flopped a steamer in the gene pool
now angry mob mentality's no longer the exception, it's the rule
and im startin to feel a lot like charlton heston
stranded on a primate planet
apes and orangutans that ran it to the ground
with generals and the armies that obeyed them
followers following fables
philosophies that enable them to rule without regard

there's no point for democracy when ignorance is celebrated
political scientists think the same one vote as some arkansas inbred
majority rule, don't work in mental institutions
sometimes the smallest softest voice carries the grand biggest solutions

what are we left with?
a nation of god-fearing pregnant nationalists
who feel it's their duty to populate the homeland
pass on traditions
how to get ahead religions
And prosperity be a symbol to culture

the idiots are takin over

I feel safer with criminal scum like that off the street.
