Criminal used to hang out on milkcrate
|
|
| A creepy dude used to hang out, sitting on a milkcrate outside a convenience store in Ducktown, Tennessee. This fact proved to be key in an murder investigation, and was brought to life by the young woman above. “He would just sit on a milk crate at the corner with a black mutt that had brown splotches…I never talked to him because he seemed odd and creepy,” she added, “He gave off a weird vibe.” –> full story |

Massachusetts legislators pitch 1 year prison sentences for milk crate theives
The state of Massachusetts has always had some interesting priorities. Michael F. Kane, a Democrat, is putting forth a bill that would create a penalty scale for crate thieves. Fines for first, second, and third offenses, all the way up to $1,000 and a year in prison for stealing more than $100 worth of crates. Kane said, “These crates have been used for many years in college dorms for basically storage and furniture… Obviously, I don’t want to see any college students going to jail over this, but it is becoming a cost to the industry.” I can’t wait for the first rich kid at Harvard to be jailed because of this stupid law.
