I stand corrected and in shame. I should have said the “ding-dong” defense!

Mespo,
First of all thanks for the heads up on the war crimes retroactive immunity bill. Secondly, you and Prof. Turley should leave my Twinkies out of this. Twinkies are the ultimate survival food and they are not police favorites so don’t drag the good name of Twinkies through the mud of this crime by one of our police who is supposed to “serve and protect” our twinkies.

Hardy har! For more jokes watch that bill going through Congress this week giving Bush et crooks retroactive immunity for Geneva War Crimes. Criminal pardoning criminals. That’s a new one.

Mespo, Mespo, Mespo:

The problem is that he committed the crime BEFORE he ate the donut. This would make it a anticipatory–twinkie defense claim which is much more difficult to swallow.

I am shocked by your stereotyping of this poor soul. An obvious case for the “twinkie” defense I think.

This is clearly a case of attractive nusaince. You can’t start giving the po-po free stuff and expect them to “police” themselves. Especially doughnuts. Sheeesh.

The cop-donut connection is legendary. It is not the price it is the passion.

Who in the world steals donuts?

I read that all he got was a ticket for petit larceny.

But I guess the fact that his name is all over and so many people know what he did, it’d be pretty embarassing for him.

Aren’t donuts usually about .75 or less?
