All my community service was spent in a library basement desperately searching for any book or magazine with a picture sexy enough to use to rub one out. I mean...sorting books. My dumbass friends always chose to wash fire trucks. Suckers.

What exactly were you attempting to "rub out?"

There's a solution that prevents all of those scenarios. Seal the fucking food. You know, like most food already comes, specifically to prevent contamination/theft/tampering/seal in freshness/etc.

I agree... our local Umpqua brand of ice cream has a plastic band around the top that has to be removed before you can take the top off. Secured and sealed food should be a no-brainer.

I don’t believe either one would survive long enough outside the body to be a risk here.

Hep C would survive.
Regardless her intent was to cause someone else to be sick or injured...
What is the criminal penalty for intentionally trying to infect someone with hiv?
This should be a similar penalty type with a fractional magnitude as that.

A highly ignorant woman was caught on surveillance video licking a tub of Blue Bell ice cream and then putting it back in the freezer. It looks like police are closing in on identifying her. Her penalty could be severe:



I think we can all agree she should be punished by the law, but to what degree? I do think incarcerating her would be a poor use of our overcrowded jails. And a fine of $10,000 might be a knee jerk overreaction. So, Judge Perknose would sentence her to a $2,000 fine (ouch!) and 500 hours of community service. And before you think 500 hours is not enough, please realize that, in 8 hour increments, that's well more than a year of her Saturdays down the drain.

Anyway, step up, my P&N hearties! Let's see if we can somehow make our ensuing discussion a partisan/ideological dog fight. 😎

She wont get 20. I would do something similar to your sentence. But still believe public shaming has some place in modern society.

$2,000 fine
Repay injured parties
80 hours in a public square wearing a sign that says "I am an inconsiderate A-Hole, I licked your food in a grocery store"

If you can get past constitutional issues, I'm on board (cruel and unusual punishment)

Putting someone in the stocks in the public square is cruel and unusual punishment, making someone wear a sign isn't cruel or unusual (well it is odd but that isn't the meaning of unusual in this case).

I have no doubt this is a form of food tampering.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tampering_(crime)

Putting her face on social media smacks of "look at me you can't do nothing to me"

I find it amazing people are willing to tolerate people doing thing akin to sticking their dicks in the pudding bowl at a buffet and put in on Facebook where the only fine is 24 hours of community service. Want to encourage repeat offenders let this girl essentially get away with it.

Meanwhile we have other teenagers falsely accused of sealing a backpack and gets sent to Rikers for years. We get 4 year old accused of stealing a doll worth $1, police are called and a violent arrest ensues.

I don't see anything wrong with 1 week in jail and a $2500 fine considering the ramification of this kind of repeated bahavior in food stores? If she had just stolen the ice cream I would be ok with probation and 1 week community service.

I don't disagree in the slightest. This is obviously someone who hasn't learned in life that you are responsible for what happens due to your actions. This is someone that clearly hasn't learned that yet...

And it shouldn't just be a slap on the wrist until someone gets a disease from it - people are taught all throughout your childhood to not be a dickhead to other people in life... from toddler daycare to kindergarden all through grade school.

Heh, well - wasn't it California that made it not a crime to not disclose your STDs to a sex partner?

It's really not that great, I don't see why people like it to be honest. I'll take Ben and Jerry's or Haagen Daaz a million times over.

I think it has to do with the fact that you can buy a gallon of Blue Bell for the price of a pint of Ben and Jerry or Haagen Daaz. Honestly, I think Blue Bell is good ice cream, if you want just a plain ice cream, like vanilla or chocolate, it is hard to beat.
But really, when the whole listeria thing was happening I knew people that was just about breaking down the store's doors to get a gallon when they came back on the market. I was all, "they are being charged with killing people because they couldn't be bothered to clean their damn factory, even after they knew it was a problem, and you want their product so much you are willing to overlook that?"

People are stupid.

I made a nice chunk of change buying Chipotle stock shortly after their disease outbreaks... price has since more than doubled... just sayin' 😛
 
Blah blah blah Texas idiots blah blah... Give it a rest already. If it's such a horrible place to live why are all your neighbors moving here like rats fleeing a sinking ship? Say what you want about Texas, and I've said plenty myself, but it's a family friendly place where you can find work and a house you can actually afford to buy.
