Here's something nutty. One of the criminals that went in to a Walgreens in San Francisco and stole with a large trash bag full of stuff and walked out was caught, and was just found guilty and sentenced to 16 months in prison. Yea! One less criminal on the street. Well...

According to the SF Chronicle, he was credited for time served in prison to date and has already been released! So... not that long of a term after all?

It sounds good on Fox:

"A bicycle-riding thief who went viral last year when video footage of him stealing from a Walgreens in San Francisco and then riding out of the retail store with a large bag of stolen merchandise made the rounds on social media was sentenced Monday to 16 months in prison.

Jean Lugo Romero pleaded guilty to felony grand theft, misdemeanor petty theft and received a year of probation in addition to the jail term, San Francisco prosecutors said. "

But not so good in the SF Chronicle:
"
The man who made national headlines after a video of his brazen Walgreens theft went viral has been sentenced to 16 months in prison, time served, and one year of probation, the San Francisco District Attorney’s Office announced Monday.

Jean Lugo Romero pleaded guilty to felony grand theft and misdemeanor petty theft for the June incident, in which he was seen cramming items into a trash bag and then cruising out of the store on a bicycle without paying.

Lugo Romero was released after he was credited the time he had already served behind bars."

Teenagers do some stupid things. Always have, always will. These kids though, tragically, took that to the next level.

"
A 16-year-old was killed as he and another teen took turns firing guns at each other while wearing body armor, according to police in Florida.

The shooter and another teen have been arrested in connection with the death."

Disneyland used to be the perpetual subject of left-wing attacks for representing traditional values, but now... they've made a U-turn and are seemingly trying to further social change towards promoting alternative behavior, and one wonders why. An answer may have appeared:

"
An heir to the Disney empire came out publicly as transgender at a Human Rights Campaign gala in March.

The HRC held their annual Los Angeles fundraising dinner on March 13.

"As members of the Disney family, standing up for equality has always been what we do. Tonight, our family is issuing a fundraising challenge," Charlee Disney said at the HRC gala."

Seattle's public transit is in financial trouble, with the fare fees being paid only covering 5% of the system's operating costs. Why is so little revenue being generated? Because over 2/3 of riders aren't paying! Why don't they enforce payment? Because they are afraid of disproportionately affecting minorities.

"
Seattle’s Link Light Rail is a freeloader’s paradise.

There are no turnstiles, so passengers are supposed to either buy a ticket or tap their pre-paid card. But so few riders are paying, fares are currently covering just 5% of the system’s operating costs, a fraction of the 40% mark Sound Transit set as a requirement.

At a recent Sound Transit Board meeting, the outgoing CEO summed up the situation. "Our fare collection system relies overwhelmingly on an honor system," Peter Rogoff said, "and our increasingly acute problem is that our riders aren’t honoring the system."

By one measurement, as many as a staggering 70% of all passengers are free riders. But even that is only an estimate as there is almost no fare enforcement. Sound Transit did away with fare enforcement officers after a study revealed people of color were disproportionately getting fined"

I wouldn't want anyone getting up and singing on my plane, period. Secular, religious, the noise would intrude into my space. If Omar would have called the group out for *rude behavior* that shouldn't be allowed on airplanes, I'd agree 100%.

As far as one religion vs. the other? Omar knows the score planes, the US, and Muslims, and there's enough evidence of her anti-Semitism to show that in this situation she's being a provocateur and and not someone who's genuinely pointing out an unfairness.

 

! Seriously? It's the Republicans who came up with "African-Americans", LGBTQ, etc.? with the intent of pitting one group of Americans against another? I never knew. I thought that was the left.

I generally like Pitts as a columnist, but he really missed the mark on this one.

 

Ha ha ha! Chris Wallace joined CNN! He went from a charcoal company to a jet black one.

 

Yeah, it actually does. Encouraging groups to see themselves as different than others encourages them to seek benefits for themselves as opposed to benefits for all. That is the definition of pitting one group against another. For example, "black lives matter" supporters actually get offended when someone says "ALL lives matter" - which they do.
