One Stray Pea

Two women have been making a living by breaking into pop machines around the Tri-State, from Middletown, OH to Ft. Mitchell, KY. They are breaking into the machines and stealing the dollar bills. I don’t know what all goes in to breaking into a soda machine (because I’m not a criminal), but it really seems like more effort than it’s worth. Why not make a living driving around looking for loose change that people have dropped?

Headline of the Week: Man Sues Police in Alleged Nude Beating on I-75. Apparently this D-bag took some ecstasy and decided to walk on I-75 to Covington. This brings a whole new meaning to the bumper sticker, “Hey Covington! Put Your Shirt On!”, but anyways, this man alleges that 6 officers beat him like Rodney King with batons, sprayed him with pepper spray and shocked him with a Taser.  Of course, on the busiest stretch of interstate in Kentucky there were no witnesses to this alleged crime and the victim suffers anxiety and constant headaches and is now on a heart monitor. It’s due to the beating and Taser, it has nothing to do with the drugs of course.

Apparently everyone is tired of the homeless in this city. A homeless man was shot and killed the other day over a quarter. A quarter?! This guy would’ve been better off to start stealing from pop machines. This homeless man was shot by a 62 year old women because she was “angered�? by him. How angered are you by a quarter scrounger that you actually shoot him in a gas station parking lot. A better defense would’ve been a strange man approached an older women in a parking lot on the corner of Eight and Linn streets (which is a no-go place even in the day time!) and so she shot him out of fear. However, I like the quarter defense, it should take her far. I love the spare change hate crimes.
