Street people in Canada do the same thing to avoid sleeping outside in the winter.

Sometimes it is the only way to go. He didn't harm anyone, he didn't scare anyone, he didn't threaten anyone.

I sorta have a bit of respect for this guy... He could have robbed the place and pay for his check ups in some foreign country with that money, but he didn't.

A few thousand bucks won't go very far in a foreign country either.

I guess this guy will have to try again, as he was only given a week in jail.

[Brenda]

Where does it say that?

Where does it say that?

What, the fact that the average bank robber is lucky to get a few thousand bucks, or the fact this guy was charged with larcency not robbery and only got a week. The latter was in stories I read - you could look it up if you want. In fact this story I'm pretty sure was already posted on CKA before.

[Brenda]

That he got only a week. He was scheduled to appear in court yesterday...

[andyt]

That's strange. I'm sure I read this story some days ago, and it said he would only get a week. Anyway, he should have just asked for more money, then he would be eligible for a longer sentence.

Pretty sad when people feel hey have to resort to these kinds of actions just to get care and coverage.
