"The City Room complaint box looks at saggy pants!"
Wow! Cutting edge, groundbreaking stuff in 2009!
This reminds me of the NewsRadio episode where Bill McNeil "broke" the news about rap music lyrics.
jammed phone & paper clip & 2.60?
easy case to beat.
no evidence except the guy was getting his change back. i do it all the time, beating the guy who was planning on getting the change later.
back in the day you could put a paper clip between the center hole on the phone and touch the coinbox and make Free calls...
I've had it up to here with these hit & run idiots. I'm almost at the point of supporting public beheadings for those killers.
They are cowards afraid of justice. If you can't put them in jail for life, at least make sure they never drive again. Assuming you catch them, of course. Cutting off their hands& feet would sit better with those of us who oppose capital punishment and would keep them from ever driving again. That's what's important, that they never again find themselves behind the wheel of a motor vehicle.
I feel the same way. Accidents happen, but people have to be held accountable for their irresponsible behavior. If your idiocy leads to someone dying you should pay. It's complete BS that even when these people are caught, they are rarely held accountable. I support cutting off hands and feet, nice and barbaric.
