39. But the cop started out taking one singular grape out of a bag at the supermarket before weighing

Had they dealt with the cop when he took the singular grape then, he wuoldn't still be on the force making any good cop look bad after that grape thief stole in his moonlighting job an IPOD at the airport (read twice if this is confusing.)

the point is, the original article was written by someone with a bias against the tsa
(not the poster who posted it, who might or might not have noticed) but the writer of the
news article itself.

and actually, it has been proven, get rid of the smallest of crimes takes out the people who also think nothing of the most major of crime

had Timid Tim in Oklahoma City lore been arrested BEFORE he arrived for that gun he had
and for the no plate on the car or whatever minor offense he had, he never would have arrived and done what he did, killing all those babies because he was a rightwing extremist anarchist with a really loony CT in his mind that he felt needed avenging.

see the point?
vast majority of small crime is committed by people also doing larger crime

however, what this proves is what I just said
BUT IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE ORIGINAL WRITER OF ARTICLE attempting to smear an entire industry or union to further the view of that newspaper article writer, which was not nice to all those hard working folks just earning a days pay at a boring job(and not giving two spits about anyones private parts)

(again I am referring to the newpaper article writer, not the poster)

Case proved.
Maybe OBL started on the road to the darkside by popping a grape in his mouth in the supermarket while just a kid. If not for that proverbial grape, destiny might have shown Mr. OBL to be say IM Pei the world famous builder, instead of a destroyer of architectual landmarks.
